I found my true love

And it's the most wonderful thing that's ever happened to me.

Does anyone know what I mean?

 

oh yah

 

Haha, I've been trying to find words to justify these feelings but I swear there are no words adequate for this...

Ahh, the butterflies that boil up inside by the mere thought of him.

You're 16.

 

It is possible.
Its a great thing but never be too sure and never expect anything.


I thought i found my true love but i ended up breaking up with him.

 

Ha ha ha. You did not find your true love. Enjoy it, but recognize that it's just a chemical reaction in your brain designed to keep our species going. Those emotions do not necessarily lead to a long-lasting mutually-beneficial relationship, but sometimes people get lucky. But you are 16. This ain't gonna last.

 

I don't see why my age is an issue here. I'm very mature for my age.

You may be right and you may be wrong, but you are being too negative.
Perhaps try being happy for me.

 

I hid my age because I'm tired of it being an isuue and distracting people from my opinions and statements.

Why has the belief in love wavered, anyways?

 

age is just a label, it does not define you because we are all so different. if you believe that you have found your true love then that is beautiful, i wish you every happiness, dont let people who tell you that it wont last simple because you are young get to you.

I wish you the best!

 

Have fun being in love, but don't fall for the fake love modern society is trying to pass off as "the norm".

I agree. Age is simply a label.


Example is my and my girlfriend. Her and I are both 16, but we're in love. It's not this, last a week kind of love, but it's the kind of love that helps you deal with life. Neither of us can get one another of each other's minds. It's just amazing. We do everything the same way, I mean, it's beyond having things in common- we pretty much know what we're thinking, and that says a lot seeing how random we are.


And just to think, if I'd have let my "friends" change me, I wouldn't be with her right now. But that's a whole different story. I love my girlfriend. eace:

 

Wow, someone's bitter.

Her age doesn't have anything to do with this. My grandparents met when she was 17 and my grandfather was 19...42 years later, they are still together. They did separate once when my grandmother was about in her mid thirties, but got back together shortly thereafter. THAT is true love. I have seen them together, and it's a wonderful thing.

When you have it, hold on to it!

 

Thanks to everyone who understands.

Were near 8 months and still can have hours of conversation we don't feel the need to spend every waking second together because we have a deep connection.
I guess it's hard for people to understand if they dismiss love when they are supposedly "too young".

 

Age is but a number assigned to people by the number of years they have lived. It does not define maturity level for everyone, nor does it hinder emotionals people experience.

I not 16, but I still consider myself young, and I believe I have found my counter-part in this world. Best of luck!

 

Age is really just a label...

Some people sometimes really do find their true love young but its rare....

 

Why do you say it is rare?
I've heard a lot of people marry people like them, and when they go to college they find many of these people.

Perhaps there is more "one" for individuals?

 

I found my true love. Unfortunately, though, death took him away from me last month.

 

The same reason belief in religions is faltering. We know better now thanks to science and education and all that jazz.

Its already been mentioned but I'll repeat it: this feeling is chemicals in your brain trying to trick you into getting knocked up. Thats pretty much all. Our society really, really likes (and wants) to believe there is something more to it than this, but you'll never find a speck of evidence to prove there is beyond "I can feel it in my heart!" or some such meaningless drivel, which is the same kind of stuff a lot of religious people spew out when asked why they believe in god or how they know god exists.

A true loving relationship is a much different feeling than what you're experiencing. I think it would be more accurate to describe the feeling as a "really great friendship," since the word "love" can be so misleading and have so many meanings. It happens with somebody you've known for a long time. You dont' get the butterflies, you don't get all excited and giddy like you are now. What you do have is a strong sense of trust and a feeling of comfort around that person. I dunno, ask one of the people on these forums who has been married for years, they could describe it for you much better than I can. I'm speaking from observations rather than experience.

And about your age: yeah, it shouldn't be an issue with a lot of things. Your words should speak for themselves independent of your age.
But unless you started dating when you were five there is simply no way you know what you're taking about when you say you've found true love. And certainly not that, for the most part, it doesn't exist.

A good soul mate is a great friend, not a great lover.

 

In my opinion, age doesn't matter - some people meet their soulmates or come across them without realizing. My mom and dad met a few times when they were REALLY little without knowing that they would meet again and get married years later.

As for the feeling of knowing you've met your true love, it's amazing.

It's a feeling that never comes close to anything else you can feel in your life, and that's a feeling that you want to hold onto for the rest of your life.

I wish you all the best
