My take on love is different than most peoples, but that's okay :]

So, I like hate him. He's a jerk and I never want to see him again and hope he'll just go away. But I can't stand to be without him. He's amazing and compelling and when I'm with him I feel so alive. It's a feeling I have with no one else. He gets me. In some crazy way he just knows. He's my best friend in a different way than my other best friend are. I get butterflies when he calls or when I just see him on my missed calls list. He's the one I lost my virginity to. And I've done it with several other people, but it's always the best with him. And I think that the physical components of love really do play a big part, so I think that tells a lot too. He's protective of me in his own way, and it's so cute, but I'd never let him know because then he's be embarrased and think that he was ruining his reputation haha. So, I hate him, but I love him more. He just had this way of making everything seem okay even when it really never will be.

I know it sounds twisted and dysfunctional and well it is. But it works for us. And for me, that's what love is.

when you wouldnt even consider wanting someone else
you always think of them
you wish you were with them every part of the day
when you like them too much to say you like them so you say you love em :)

i agree teens can be in love.
i mean its not like after 2 weeks "I LOVE UUU!!!"

I do think teenagers CAN experience love, but I don't think every teenager is going to experience love nor is every person. I don't see why we're saying love is "so complex" when, since we're teenagers, we supposedly don't know what it is. Love can simple, it can be difficult, complex, etc.

love is a feeling felt more with your heart than anything else. it can be any type, theres romantic of course, but also families and friends. and u love people you hardly know too. like ur classmates and stuff. and also for some people, me included, there is the way you love God. when u love somebody u trust them.

for the people that said teenagers dont know wut love is after giving a description of love, unless ur not a teenager u just contradicted urself.

i think teenagers do know wut love is, because every single person on the planet has felt love in some form. whether theyre 5 or 50 or 105 they know wut it is, or at least have. some ppl forget wut love is and a lot of them are teenagers. a lot of people think that theyre in love when they arent, but some really and truly are.

i think sometimes the younger u are u feel love more purely because its unclouded by anything else. maybe not romantically because u cant appreciate it fully at all. but other types of love, yes.

"in kindergarten love was simple
and,
love was bliss.
love was love if u had a hand to hold
and a cheek to kiss.

people say we didnt know
way back then.
that we couldnt judge.
way back when,
we really knew how to love."

love is also when u accept all of someones flaws and are committed to them. anyone can love, and everyone does love at one point. they can turn their back on love, or they can feel it. but if u think ur in love, u just might be.

love is when two people are so into eachother they cant imagine life apart. its when you can tell them anything and they can tell you anything.
love is a beautiful, strong feeling.
it can also be VERY hurtful.
like someone on this post said, love is not lust.
love is...
when you think about them constantly, and never wanna quit.
its when they treat you good and you treat them good.
its when you get butterflies hearing their name.
Love is hard to explain, but love is so amazing.

yeah teenagers have emotions, but not ones deep enough or complex enough to experience something like that kind of love. sure we love our parents and friends, but that's different than the way married couples love each other. we're too inexperienced to know the difference. and i think it's kinda funny how people define love as when you cant stop thinking about the other person. that's infatuation/obsession. my parents love each other, but that doens't mean they spend every waking second thinking of each other.

there is a difference between loving and being in love. i love my mom, but im not IN love with her. you know what i mean?it is a felling between two people and it is hard to explain, and since ive never been in love i cant explain what it is.

i dont think most teenagers know really what love is. im not saying ALL teens, because i really do know people who are truely in love. you can just tell by the way they talk to each other and treat each other and stuff.

love can't be put into words.
its too....amazing.
its when you would rather die than have to live without them.
its when nothing else ever matters, as long as you are with your love. you would do anything just to see that person be happy. even if it means making you very un-happy..

and i dont see why teenagers can't be in love?
why not?
they're people too.
they have emotion.
they have compassion.
why can't they fall in love??

I dont know how to really explain love, its like when you know everything about the other person, there life story, all of their mistakes and their flaws and you still love them you still want to be with them no matter what, loves when you truly cant see yourself without them, and you want to be with them forever.

I dont think many teens know what love is, i think there are soooo many cases where they think they are in love, but its so often mistaken for lust.
like my guy friend, ask this girl out and litterally they had been going out acouple days and they said they "loved" eachother. the word love is thrown around too easily. And im guilty for it, ive said i love you to acouple guys that i really didnt.. i thought i did.
But i do believe that some teens are inlove. Love is a feeling and compassion for someone, its not based on age or how experienced you are in life.
But yeah, lots of teens mix up love with other feelings.

teenagers do NOT know what love is. how can a 15 year old who hasnt even experienced life be so in love? they dont even know what love is. ill stad by that til the day i die.

for me love is almost like a magnet. you think about the otehr person constantly, you couldnt imagine life without them. the tought of you cheating on them repulses you. you can trust them, they'd do anything to see you happy. etc

love is trust. love is commitment. love is having an emotion for someone that completely changes your life in the greatest of all imaginable ways possible.

idk how you'd define love. i just describe it as an emotion that makes all other past obsessions seem stupid and insignificant. it just tops everything. i seriously dont think teenagers know what it is, they just think they know. i know that i dont know what it is. teenage love and adult love are two different things on two different levels.

It's not really something you can explain. It feels different for everyone. It's not counted in time or whatever, it's just there just because it's there. And, yeah, I do feel teenagers can be in love, I don't see why not.

I don't think it's something I'll ever really understand.

But I'm a fan of the Dan in Real Life quote "Love's not a feeling, it's an ability.".
