Am I too young to be in love?



Check these out, too...

  • 16 fun in the sun summertime dates
  • The Real Deal: Why guys hate shopping
  • Saved the best for last day
  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?
  • Puppy love? Puh-lease
How do I know if I'm in love? My friends always say that they love with their crushes or BFs, but my mom says 13 is too young to be in love. Is she right?
 
Before ya do anything else, as yourself this, chica: am I really old enough to be worrying about love? You're 13, not even in high school yet, and your friends are declaring love for boys that may not even know they exist, or they only hold hands with in the halls? I don't know about you, girlie, but I don't think that sounds like they really love those guys. You should be worrying about acing your classes and having fun with your besties. Guys are wonderful and all, but being truly in love with them shouldn't be your biggest concern right now.
 
Your mom is totes right about 13 being too young to be in love. You haven't completely figured out who you are and what you want in life. Plus, love takes a long time to develop -- not just one week of going out, or seeing your cutie in class for two months. Sure, you can really like a guy and gush to your BFFs about how completely adorable and amazing he is, but love at 13 is totally too young to truly know if you're in love.

MOD!i have a bf were in the same grade same class my mom allows me to have bfs he's a bad boy-ish guy but anways, idk if were going too fast! well its probably because all my past not serious bfs never, well, would hangout with me but he does! he just walks up to me at lunch and sits down beside me! i dont even tell him 2! and he flirts with me alot he's rly sweet behind his badboy rep but we were swinging together with another couple we were swinging sidewayish me going forward and him swing sideways in front of me facing me and we would give eachother high fives and fist pounds on the swings and he uses body language too, like when he's not around me he uses 2 straps on his bookbag(isnt he weird Smile) and when he's around me he uses one and he kinda puts his arm around my back and hugs me but not long i dont think were going too fast but i want to be sure!(now that i've read this i think im overreacting but ya never know)




Hey girlie,

Nah you're not overreacting! It's good to think about your relationship and make sure you're not pushing it faster than it should go. But it sounds like you two are just clicking really well and enjoying each other's company, that's all! If it ever feels like it's going too fast - he wants to kiss you or touch in some way and you feel uncomfortable with it - make sure you speak up. You should never do anything you don't want to. But this just sounds like you get along great, you want to spend time with each other, and you're enjoying the ride. That's exactly how relationships are supposed to be - fun with a person you really care about! Smile

I'm only 11 and i have a bf he's amazing but in a note he told me he loved me what do i say none of my friends like him but their supportive but i don't know how to talk to anyone he amazing i really like him but please help.




Hey girlie,

Your friends' feelings are not the ones that matter right now - it's YOURS that are the question! Do you think you love him? Remember there's a big difference between "really liking him" and loving him... and it's not wrong if you don't quite share his strong feelings yet. You should acknowledge the note, but don't feel pressured to tell him you love him if you actually don't. Thank him for the note and tell him it was really sweet, for example. But don't ever say something you don't mean! Smile

Think about it this way. At thirteen years old, you still have your whole life ahead of you. You are going to meet countless of other guys. It doesn't make any sense to declare your love for one guy at such a young age because most likely, it won't last. It's probably just a huge crush. I highly doubt you are really, truly in love.

i liked this guy last year and things didnt really work out...we never even went out. Since school has started i have been thinking about him more and more maybe its just cuz my summer romance didnt work out... i talked to him for the first time since april and he responded rite away with a smiley face. i told him it was nice talking to him again and he said its nice talking to u again 2... do u think i should go for it and does he sound interested or just friendly? thanx Smile




Hey sweetie! 

This is a difficult sitch to interpret since you're texting this guy. Instead of texting, why don't you ask him to hang out with you after school so you can get to know each other face-to-face? Since you'll get to read his body language and listen to his tone of voice, you'll get a much better idea of how he feels about you! Have fun, xoxo!
