Does love know age? Options

[anonymous_killer]

I personally think that the term "love" is something that is defined by the person themself, and not a general standard. Therefore, no. I dont think there is an age.

[babiebubblez03]

there are so many types of love.. you cant just tell someone that they are not in love at the age of 13 when in fact they have puppy love ya know?! you will never experience TRUE love until you are married... and whenever you get to that point.. you'll know.. hehe so, no, no age limit :o)

[TheSilenceInDict...]

There are full grown adults who still can't understand love, or at least what love is in society's standards.

Some people grow both emotionally and mentally quicker than others, and also go through a lot more. Some are mature enough for 'love' and some still have a lot to learn until they're really ready. I dunno what I'm babbling about.

No, Love knows no age...or race, or gender, etc etc.
Does happiness? Grief? Any other emotion? Emotions shouldn't be limited by a set standard.

[sweetdreamsx3]

I'm in between. Sometimes there's a yes and a no.

No, because some are too young to actually know what love is, so when they say it and they don't really mean it (They might break up five days later or sooner), so yeah..

Then again, yes because you can't tell what the other person to feel. It's their own feelings and because they are young, it doesn't mean they don't know what love is..

[sammi rules you]

well, they can't be like NINE and in love...but like..you can be any age. probably at least 7th grade or so..otherwise it's kinda like..childish stuff. unless you're mature for your age like julia

[babygurl_xtacy]

no i dont think theres age.. but there might be awkwardness

[177emories]

some little kids that say they are in love when they are "obviously" not is kinda annoying... but i don't think theres are age for it if they are actually in love...

[pbear]

True love knows no limits.

But there is puppy love, which is often mistaken for real love by younger or more immature people.

[anger_is_my_frie...]

depends if you're mature enough to go through the pain i guess..

[inthemudhole]

It doesn't matter about age.
It matters about maturity.

[dani41790]

hmm mayb there is an age for certain people cuz i think it matters if they r mature enough. if a 10 year old saes he/she is in love, i wont believe em

[DrEaMgUy2K1]

eh i dont think so, but yea sometimes u mite not know what love is really, so i guess .. love can be experienced at any age...just different degrees of love.

[MeanBastard]

Yes, in a relationship with an intimate person. But I guess you can live in delusional world where those two 2nd graders love each other.

[nyCzxfOx]

personally yes and no
more on the yes side..

InTheMudHole.. i agree with her almost completely
maturity is all that counts.. in certain cases there are exceptions though

[lyin_in_wait]

i think a ten year old would have no clue whats happening but a sixteen year old may know what he or she feels.

[nyctophiliac]

no not really i think love can happen at any age from a three year old and her puppy to a 21 year old with her boyfriend
Steph

[yeseulx3]

depends on what kind of love. *shrug*

[PinkTrash]

I think its really sick, if say a 18 year old dates a 40 year old.. but maybe they do like each other o.o

[sheepy]

well i dunt think love has a limit. but... im not sure lil kids.. relaly know.. cuz yeahh lols

i agree and i love the way you put it. its so true. its not about age but about maturity, as many of you have said. there are also the different levels of love but only one's self can know when one is in true love.

[AsianUniQ]

i think love can be affected by age.......since age is just a number, the number is however equivalent to the years of expereince.........we mature through the years tha expereinces, hence we mature through age...............so if you love someone whose maturity level is higher and urs is lower or vice versa........then love can be affected adn fade away....you could be too imature or the other persojn cuold be too neat or too smart or wutver, or you both cant stand each other....then that woudl affect love.

I couldn't have sais it any better

[*RiC3xBoy*]

to me true love is when u love the other person more than urself and is willing to be with that person forever and will never fall out of love

[hellzlilkit]

no because just recently i heard on the radio and read in the newspaper that a woman that was 31 yrs old had an affair with her 12 yr old student. now shes 42 and and the boy is 21 and shes out of jail because of what happened and they are planning on getting married. she already has 3 kids from him.

[mouse_3k]

as they say

"you can love at ANY age"


hey, look at Cory and Topanga (Boy Meets World)

[MeanBastard]

Can someone possibly fall in love in preschool?

[kalyps0]

It doesn't matter about age.
It matters about maturity.

That is very true. And what MasteRxKiD said was also very true about full grown people not knowing what it really is. Love can't really be defined..when you fall in love then you are ready to deal with it. Its all about maturity. My brother-in-law's sister fell in love with her bf when she was 13. And now 12 years later they are married and have 3 kids. It all depends on the person and their experiences.

[JasonAkAWolf]

I don't think it does...unless its like someone over 18+ going out with someone that is 15 and younger.

[hi-C]

Love knows no age...but the law does...

[islandkiss]

no, it doesn't

[me1issaaaa]

eh... to some degree it does. not necessarily age, but maturity. it's not very likely to be in love when you're 14 or 15 or whatever, but it can definitely happen, i suppose.

[ApoKa]

Love is just associated with age in the media a lot of the time. If you really think about it, you don't need age to love somebody romantically, you just need the right person.

[xox Qt LuVZ xox]

It's insulting when people say 11/12 year olds can't be in love. It's like you're saying we're to imature to uinderstand "true love". I believe any one can fall in love Well... obviously not 3 year olds... but you get the idea.

[royalfreshness]

Yes and no. When you're young and you're living in this fast world... You might you're in love but it could just be something else.. Like infatuation and all. Hormones lol.

[sheddingtears]

it's 50/50 for me.

i think you can experience some kind of love at any age, but to experience true, genuine love, i can only see such in marriage/real long-term relationships.

[*Weird addiction*]

YES IT DOES!! imagine a 10yr old girl falling for a 25yr old boy,how crazy is that,she isnt in love,...thats infactuation,i think

[sweetbaby109]

nope you can love at any age yup yup

[ApoKa]

No. Age doesn't grant comprehesion for love. A lot of the time age is evident, but just because age is present, does not mean it should define a set of rules for when love is applied. As Master put it, no other emotions are defined by a set of rules, so why should love be determined that way?

[LiLaZnGirL122]

there are so many types of love.. you cant just tell someone that they are not in love at the age of 13 when in fact they have puppy love ya know?! you will never experience TRUE love until you are married... and whenever you get to that point.. you'll know.. hehe so, no, no age limit :o)

that aint true
i can b in love if ur 13 cuz my 2 frds r seriously in love and they would do anything for each other and it aint no puppy love

[nas]

But I guess you can live in delusional world where those two 2nd graders love each other.

dude there's my life story

Honestly, this sounds so stupid, but I know most of the middle schoolers I went with thought they were in love and stuff, but they ended up like...breaking up a few months later. I don't think middle schoolers know the TRUE meaning, but yeah. Some might know what it is, if they matured somewhat more.

[datass]

Depends what kind of love, babies starts loving their parents at like..a month?

[multifaceted]

Depends on what kind of love you are talking about. Childish love. Sexual love. Commitment love. Enemy love. Friendship love. Parent love. Why-can't-you-take-out-the-garbage love.

Mostly, love should not have an age. Age is just a number. But with sexual love, there should be an age.

[Kontroll]

I personally think that the term "love" is something that is defined by the person themself, and not a general standard. Therefore, no. I dont think there is an age.

Indeed. I feel that love is different for everyone cause everyone is different. My view is sacrifice and long suffering. I see true love as if you're willing to die for the person, no matter who they are, even if they are a stranger, then that's love. Yes, I would die for a stranger. At least they would get a chance at life. You know?

Children love. They love their parents and whatnot. They don't love in a romantice sense. They don't understand it. Teen agers tend to throw the word around so I'm not going to give most of them the benefit of the doubt.

Even older people have a messed up view of love. I mean, look at the divorce rate. That alone should tell you people don't even know what love is.

[Anna-x-chan]

I think the relationship I'm in isn't puppy love, we have our fights and stuff, thats what makes a good relationship, if you both didn't fight at all you'd get sick of the person because their way too perfect. My boyfriend is 19 and I'm 14, and when hes gone for 2 seconds I miss him like crazy that I almost break down and cry, can't say thats not love. I think age doesn't matter but if the person is under 14 I think its "puppy love" because they just started to be a teenager and they're experimenting with things, ya know?

[*My Cinderella.*]

I think people can fall in love at any age, just don't mistaken it for something else.

[michellerrific]

I think 'maybe'. There has to be around some age in life where you learn to understand the real definition of love, not just exactly at any age.

[me1issaaaa]

So, I'm kind of changing my answer a bit. I do think you can have feelings of love at any age, but I don't think you can appreciate it and respect it until you've developed an actual brain, so you're mature enough to handle it and everything that comes along with it.

[iROCKYOURSOCKS]

yes and no EH IM IN BETWEEN!!! i think that age really is just a number that has nothing to do with the person that you fall in love with BUT i dont think its right or legal for a 15 year old to fall in love with a 30 year old or 8 year olds falling in love. that is just GROOOOSSSS.

[princess*missy]

my vote was no because you can fall in love at any age...

[*Uronacid*]

I believe you have to be mature enough to know what love is before you can experience it. If not, you may just be falling in "obsession".

[nettynono]

sometimes you look back and realise you really WEREN'T in love.
things always become clearer the older you get but that's said for anything.
love means alot more when you're older. it's more realer than the idea of it. the ideal version of love.
i wont encourage my 13 year old sis to get with anyone till she's at least 16! if i had my way it would be a little later than that!

[gita]

i don't think you can fall in love when you're 10.
so love does know SOME age.
but i think that once you're mature enough to know what love is, and how it feels, then love can happen to anyone.

[foreverNalways]

I think you can fall in love at any age. But I don't think that a 18 can fall in love with 52 year old with out there being a chemical off balance in their brain.

[*Uronacid*]

Love doesn't know age, but it does know maturity. You have to be mature enough to understand the concepts of love. Age and Love are being compared often because many people (not all) become more mature the older they get.

[pinay_cherry]

All depends on the people in my prespective.
To be able to see exactly what love is, I think it's practically impossible to know everything & how it ticks. Since we're all individuals we tick differently even in the slightest way. So I think people can learn love at any age, but not learn the whole view of how love works. :]

We're all kids learning. :D

[Liana_Way]

it doesent matter what age.
you can be 3 yrs. and fall in love
in fact its more easy when your 3
because most 3 year olds dont care about looks
and say i like that guy/girl cuz he/she is hott.
have you ever heard a 3 year old say that?
