puppy love., whats your definition? Options

[bebefcuk_]

"the love between a young couple within a few weeks of getting together. not really true love, more blind affection - immature, young love." i personally think thats wrong.

okay well im 13 years young and i might be in love. ive known him for about 8 months =) haha okay.. but seriously hes perfect. weve been on and off for the past 3-4 months, but its always my fault and i know it. he gets mad/hurt that i dont want to announce it to the whole world that were going out, and all that. anyways, he tells me he loves me and of course i tell him the same thing. i just get kind of pissed when people tell us stuff like "oh you guys are so cute but it wont last" or like "your too young, stop touching"..yeah the second one is funny hahha..but you know, i think its unfair the way people dont understand the way i feel. like out of all the guys ive gone out with, hes the one.

now see, the two of you have been popping on and off for the past 3-4 months. you've known him for 8. maybe that's why people don't believe that the two of you are "in love". that, and a lot of people don't believe in jhs relationships. that, and also the fact u have already found the fabled "the one" at age 13. lets say, u do manage to go out with him for about a year. are u sure it will last through high school and college and what not? people get skeptical.

but that's their opinion. if ur sure that u love him, and that he loves u back, and that it's not infatuation or just sex-crazed hormones talking, then screw what they say.

*preeow*

people don't beleive you probably becausde u're still so young. love is really a big word & there's alot of things in this world besides love. you guys ahve only been out for 8 months, it's hard to tell when someone's the 'one' because there's still so much ahead in life for u, there's still so much that u hven't experienced. i'm sure u really fancy him and i'm sure he's very special to you. but don't confind yourself into sucha small world. look at the bigger things in life. but still, i wish u all the best.

you think people don't understand how you feel, but the truth is that they are telling you this because they might think you're to young to understand what love is, well you could be having puppy love. you've only been with him for 8 months, that isn't very long to say someone is the ONE for you, or that you're in love with that person.

correction. known him for 8 months. been going out with him for 3-4 months on and off. read carefully.

[sheepy]

if the relationship is between you and him, why would it matter what other people think? i mean, screw them, and go and try to prove them wrong.

6 year old kids holding hands. a boy and a girl that's so cute lols. I think that's what puppy love is.

[sweetest-emotion]

AHH! LOVE CAN HAPPEN AT ANY AGE!! if u're 13 and in love, the more power to ya! yea sure, it may not last, but, hell, ya never know untill it happens, ya kno?? as long as u two are understanding of each other and really mean it, then u're alright. i would be worried if he's all like "yea luv ya toots.." and all that, but if he really says it, then yay for u. i'm 17 and i think i may be in love, but my friends all think its blind. they think that i'm too young and (again, as i have it!) "it'll never lat" blah blah, but as long as everything's alright, and no one's getting hurt, then love away. my BE MINDFULL: you are still young and have many life lessons to learn and many roads to travel. good luck.

[xlaydee_v]

puppy love is like for 5-6 year olds. idk i'm 12, turning 13 this year. so my definition would probably change. but yeah i feel the same way about a guy right now too.. but everyone can tell im actually in love with him. idk just ignore them. because they don't know how you really feel.

[ItzOnlySydney]

puppy love is pure. it's just innocent love between two young children

[Shattered_Hope]

You can't blame someone telling you you're two young because you are and 'love' is a meaningful and powerful word...I guess they just don't know that you understand the definition of the word. Besides....you're too young...you have your whole life to finally grasp the concept. But the opinion of someone else should not matter....because...as long as you two know you're in love...then why should anyone else's voice matter?

3rd graders who say they are inlove

[Bitterissweet]

I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE SAY THAT TOO!! I mean like seriously, some of us are more in love than couples that are like fourty some and are about to get a divorce. Its just a stereotype. Don't be bothered by it too much yeah?

[Glamourouz]

To me puppy love is pure infactuation with someone especially common among younger people...Things change over time & with age & especially when people get "too comfortable"...so only time can tell with anything...it's just a good idea not to get too wrapped up in the thought of being in love b/c if it comes back to bite you; everyone's gonna have their I told you so's & you're gonna feel like it's the end of the world...puppy love can be a huge set up for eventual heart break sometimes b/c everyone's usually so naiive...

[chaotiqthought]

It's super hard to tell if you're in love. I thought I was in love once. Turned out I wasn't, and it WAS puppy love. That was back in sixth grade. I'm in my third year of college now, and I'm 19. I have found "the fabled "the one"". I know I have, because my heart tells me I have. Love isn't just a feeling. It's the way your heart races when they touch you, and it doesn't even have to be sexual. It can be his fingertips on your arm, or sitting next too each other and your legs brushing against each other. Love is learning to embrace every part of them, not matter their faults. It's sitting on a park bench, curled up, watching the stars and listening to their heart beat. Its the butterflies you get when you make eye contact, the way your heart skips a beat each and every time you kiss. The agony of being miles apart, even if its only ten minutes by car. The pure feelings of hurt if you even start to argue, even if you're the one who's right. It's wanting to never see them cry, and forgiving them when they make a mistake, no matter how large or small. Love is being there through thick and thin for each other, and being supportive through out everything. It's the willingness to help one another, the want to do anything, simply anything, just to see the barest of smiles on their face. It doesn't have to be a knight sweeping you off your feet. It doesn't have to be a fairy tail romance, either. But the fact that you can think about them, and that simple thought brings a smile to your face and makes your heart flutter. Love is also the giving of chances. Of course someone's going to mess up. Of course you're going to argue. It's natural. No one's perfect. Love is just taking those upsetting moments in stride and fixing them the second you have the chance. To love is to learn. You must learn the ways of your own heart before you even think about "true love". What ever those two words mean though, I know I've found mine. Everything I've said here, I've experienced. And its been the most fantastical year and almost two months of my life. Sure, we're a tad early in, but we know we'll make it. Despite what anyone may ever think or say or do or try. If, at the end of the day, you can look at him and honestly say "I love you with every part of me", then you might be getting there. Good luck. <3

I think what you're going through right now is more infatuation than actual true love.
People are right to underestimate your "love" right now because you're only 13.
You may think you know what you want out of life, but chances are, you haven't really seen enough of life to figure out what you want.

If you two actually end up being together forever, then that's amazing.
But I personally don't think you'll last through the end of this coming school year.

[MYSTICAL-MUSE]

puppy love...no such thing...love is love no matter how young a person is when he/she feels it...

[datass]

well you know, when dogs fall in love.

[paolabear20]

I've known a guy for 3 years but that doesn't mean I love him. I don't toss around that word so often. Actually, romantically, I've never used it. I think I've been pretty darn close to "loving" him, but I'm not there yet. I think it pretty much is still "puppy love"

and I pray that I will get to see him on Friday because I haven't seen him in three months and I haven't talked to him in 1 month. haha, the boy's got staying power.

It might be my fault too though, because I pretended to lose my phone when I actually had it charging in my room the whole time, but he called a bajillion times and I couldn't get myself to answer it and then we I finally DID answer and he would ask if we should go to the beach or the movies or something... I would make up an excuse.

I really think I screwed myself over. =/

[mytangerine]

my only advice is, please refrain from saying "he's the one". you're 13 for christ's sake, there's billions of people in the world! to be honest, i think different people have different definitions for love and how they feel about someone. since you guys have been on & off so much, i would assume that you love him, but you're not IN love with him. they're two different things, as you get older you will understand.

[AyeVickaye]

Love is a strong word. Dont throw it around likes its nothing. love is putting that person first before anything. its a hard to explain feeling. its being with them through everything. Like taking a bullet for that person... Dengs your like 13 and in love already? you guys have young love. My bestfriend and her boyfriend thought that they would last and they went out for almost 2 years then drama happened and they broke up. CHEATED! They thought that they would get married and what not...thats when they were freshmans in Highschool. My other friend had an on and off bf for 3 years. They started goin' out in 8th grade and now their juniors in highschool and hella drama happened and their not together now. They thought they would last forever...but people change...They still care for eachother but its complicated....they got annoyed of eachother...

[misoshiru]

way to bump a topic from 2005.

[Amaranthus]

Annoying BS kissy-kissy shit.

[scoobypoo36202]

Love is a very strong word to be throwing around, so alot of people think its really stupid for teens to be saying "the three words". A few months ago I thought I was in love with this boy who loved me, but I really wasn't. After I realized it and broke up with him I didn't even miss him or think about him. So basically, you may think you are in love now, but maybe in a few months you'll realize that you weren't. I think I have learned that love is such a strong feeling that you can't really determine if you love someone unless you have dated enough people to know that that person is "the one" . There are billions of people in the word, so how can you say youre in the love with the first boy you find when you're only 13? I look forward to dating tons of people and finding "the one". You should too.
