i agree where is the never option cuz i fit that but then i just turned 20 in october so im not sweatin it. plus its takes a long time for me to trust someone and then love them so it might be a while and im good with that too
 
I was 20. He was 21. On our first date he told me I was going to be his wife. I said okay! We've been together for almost 8 years (married 7)!
 
In high school, I *thought* I was in love. But like another poster said, I was just hooked. Sure I had feelings for the guys, but I have never loved any of them the way I love my current SO.

I count him as my first love (started dating when I was 18), them other dudes was just puppy love.



OMG! u took the exact words out of my mouth. All the others before my SO now...just can't compare! I'm with him now. It's soo funny b/c we went to the same HS and saw each other around but never talked. Then last year we met my senior year in HS (He graduated 06)and have been talking since. He was widely known in school...I was brand new..just starting at that school!:spinning::smirk:
 
I was truly in love when I was 16. Although I know I was only a teenager, I had very very very intense feelings for the person that I was with and felt that way for years afterwards.

Now that I am in my later 20s, I have yet to feel close to what I felt then on an adult level. Some may have called that puppy love, I do know that when I feel that way about another person in a more mature adult frame of mind, I want to marry him :yep:
 
Another never checking in. I have to say it is comforting to know that other have had similar lack of experience and that I'm not just some weirdo with vulnerability issues. I guess everything happens in its own time.
 
OK, hold up, anyone here think they have not been TRULY in love yet... I don't think I have, and I'm in my 20's :sad:.

Yup.. I'm 29 and have yet to experience genuine love with a man.. there's been lust and infatuation, but not love. Maybe it's easier for me to single for long stretches of time than some other women because I don't have those memories or know fully what I'm missing.

I'm confident love will come in due time :)
 
I'm 33 - never.

Thought I was with my last boyfriend which ended last year but that was just infatuation. It was a one-sided relationship his feelings for me were no where near as strong as mine. Horrible experience.:ohwell:
 
I've had a "great" love at each decade. I was truly in love with all of them. :yep:

15 yrs. old - Rodney (my first eva, eva, eva true love - I was crazy for him!)
26 yrs. old - Mike (I was engaged to be married to him, but outgrew the relationship)
36 yrs. old - Mark (I luurved him to death - out of all of them, he broke my heart. The relationship was doomed to fail anyway.)
46 yrs. old - Isaiah (he's 17 yrs. older than me, but one of the finest men I've known. He's extremely handsome, built and in great shape, and retired :lachen:)
51 yrs. - ????? - been with my SO now for 2 1/2 years. We're having our growing pains now, but we'll see. He's got some maturing to do before I commit any further. :ohwell:
 
I dont think I have ever been in love??? How does when differentiate love from strong like/infatuation etc? They say love is more than a feeling but rather a choice right? IDK!!
 
I was 23, and it was the real thing, No lie, no poetry, no kiddie love. Real firecracker, head over heels in love. Love that really makes you smile all day and you didn't even realize that you were until someone says "Why are you grinning all day?" Love that makes your skin glow and thirty people ask you what do you use on your skin? Love that makes everything seem brighter, prettier and food taste better. Love so wonderful that any task, no matter how grueling seems effortless, since you met that person. I have been very fortunate to truely experience that love, and to have it everyday. Married and together in Love since 1998.:yep::yep:

I was 16 and it lasted until I was 21..I still love him but will never, ever give him another chance. I actually give him advice about other relationships and it doesn't bother me at all...
 
20 I would say... Though each "love" was different the first being 14, the second being 17, none of those have endured the trials that this one has, none have been as serious as this, and none have truky challenged my person and character like this. Still, in none of those did I even know myself as much as I do in this one, to be able to give of myself the way I do now.
However I am inclined to say that those were puppy love, because I kinda forgot what those felt like. Still, none beats this one- for more reasons than just age.
