When did you first fall in love?

At what age did you first fall in love? It surprises me that the younger generation now claim to have fallen in love as early as 10 years old! Do kids at this age really know what it means to fall in love? I first fell in love at around the age of 20; this was to my first boyfriend that I was with for 5 years on and off. That didn't work out for me because we had different ambitions in life. The second time I fell in love was at the age of 24 or 25. This was to the guy I eventually married and we now have a 10 month old darling baby boy. Ü

I can say that I have felt love at age 18 with my current boyfriend. Though I felt some things during my high school years, I don't think those were love. Maybe those were mere admirations.

i remember when i first fall in love at the age of 21 and that was also my first broken heart. we didnt end up and we parted ways. maybe we are not really meant for each other. about the younger generation faaling in love in the age of 10, i guess that is not love yet. Thats only puppy love or admiration.

I dont think kids around 10yo knows what the meaning of love. They just call it love because they have no other explanation of what it is that they are feeling. I fell in love when I was around 18 yo.. but didnt work out for a year.. and the second time is when I was around 19 something... and im still with him now... its been almost 2 years..

at the age of 15 i had a puppy love when i was studying secondary school. at that age i really dunno wat is the meaning of love as long im happy n he's happy. at that time we were so happy n went out almost everyday after school. we hang around here n there together. but puppy love won't last long n we broke off just because of a small quarrelled lol....!im now 28. i have a very happy family wif 2 lovely kids n think back its really a bit funny to start a relationship so early..

I think I first fell in love when I was 15. It didn't work out well at all though. I'm 20 now, and I look back and think 'That wasn't love, it was just lust'. At the time, though, it definitely felt like love. I think love is dependent upon how you feel at the time, not how you view it in retrospect. That said, I wouldn't say I've felt the same way again, so maybe that was love. [op] - That's so sweet :) Lisa

In fall in love when I was just 12 or 13 years old. It was such a puppy love and we last for about 4 years. I still remember how much we love each other and promise that at the end we will be the one to get married and so on. But my parents doesn't want him, for the fact that he is 10 years older than me. But for me age doesnt matter as long as you love each other. And other reason why we separated is that he is a badboy and I fall out of love on him... But no matter what He still one of the best thing that happened in my life.

I had my first puppy love (crush) at a young age of 6. It was cute and nice for a while but I eventually grew out of it. My first time to fall in love was back in Sophomore year High school. I met this girl who took my breath away. I did my best to muster enough courage to talk to her and ask her out but to no avail. I was deeply heartbroken and it took a while for me to get over. But there were no regrets. Right now, I'm with a woman who I fell for the first time I met her. Mind you I was with someone at that time but when things just fall into place, it just happens. So I broke up with my now ex-gf and went after my current gf and we just celebrated our 1st year together.

I don't think people really know the meaning of true love. They think just because they have something in common with someone and they do things together and have fun they are in love. I don't allow my kids to say they have a boyfriend or girlfriend. It doesn't always work cause they seem to think this is the thing to do in school. My first marriage was not out of love. I dated the guy from high school off and on. I did become pregnant and thought we could work things out even with our differences. I failed within a year. I did meet a wonderful man had a long distant relationship that everyone told me wouldn't work and because our families were so different no one thought it would last. He took my daughter as his own and helped raise her as well as 3 other children we have. We have been married for 20yrs and it hasn't always been easy but we loved each other through it all. I hope everyone can find this kind of love in their life. Being patient is the problem I think most people have with meeting the person truly meant for them.

Some pages in a book, The Adventure of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain tells story about a boy who was just 10 years old, and he was in love with one of his school mates. So it is not unusual to hear teenagers nowadays claim that they have lovers at such a young age. My first love happened when I aged 28. My girlfriend is not pretty but she is nice to me. Soon we got married and be happy until now.

I remember I was 17 years old. I had crushes and I know that's not love. I fell in love with my 3rd boyfriend but it didn't work out.
