Teenagers are lacking maturity. So, the love that blooms in their mind is somewhat showy and there exists no deeper feelings. May be they took it as an adventure and sails in there imagination. So, the love that starts at teenage may not last and end in physical or just infatuation. But real love may take place even in teenagers too. This kind of love starts when the feeling starts at heart of its own. The feelings should be complementary to take it to the level of trueness. So, when the emotions works in conjunction, the love will be true.
There will be sacrifices from both sides in true love whereas the false one will be full of obligations.

Teenage love can often ( tho not necessarily ) be based on a lot of external appearances and needs i.e to be popular , be with popular people , to be known ... which tends to attract you to the more lets say well known people like sports heroes for eg . This does not make for a good relationship because often they just use each other to satisfy their needs like being seen with someone famous or someone pretty as such . Depper emotions dont develop in these cases . Having said this I have seen some teenage sweethearts going on to make life together also .

I think teenage love is not real love.I also fell in infatuation in my teenage and thought it to be real love That proved to be a huge loss as I wasted my precious time over it and gained nothing.
I think it is not just physical attraction but emotional attraction as well but it it is not love.

well shifali, all the answers of ur qustionare 1stly yes, then no..actually both can happen..it actually depends on both of the person.in teenage people get infatuated with film stars,players & some dream boy.but there are cases when people actually find their true love in their teenage.i've seen somebody in my life who are married or last 27yrs. & they met each other in their teenage.so u know wat is it love,infatuation or just physical attraction...noone can decide. itz u who have to decide.then again physical attraction is a must even in love affair..but in teenage if people are not well aware of it then problem can happen. so i think there is just 2 part. love & infatuation.this is you who have to decide.

Well Shifali,
The answer is both-YES and NO. Its all a mental game.Remember who thought,while Sir S.R.Tendulkar,when started his career of cricket as a teenager, would continue for such a long period from 1989 and still going strong,i doubt any1 can replace him till another World Cup 5 times for him ,a new record,history, he just loves re-writing history books for himself . Same way,If a teenage love continues for about 15 yrs or more,it could still be concluded as a real love and not just an infatuation. If both hv mutual trust,vision,confident about their furture long term relationship or planning which includes marriage bonding upbringing their blessed ones own children(if it comes out of their love) and if course they understand each others fully, they know both strength and weaknesses well and ready to ignore minor loopholes here and there, YA why not? But we hardly see such instances in real life.the percentage of successfull relationship out of teeange love is countable,for that they are not to be blamed.Its just their physical growth/changes that make them more exposed, their inexperiences,immaturity of thinking,farsightedness et al. We can draw out the figures from married people say from 35 yrs to 70 yrs and ask them Is he/she married the one she/he had loved as a teenager? Right here in IBIBO.Here starting myself-i would say- mine is not d one,i had loved first as teenager.

Real love or true love is a psychological element of understanding, sharing of feelings and commitments to each other. Love does not appear suddenly from the blue. Love grows gradually after knowing each other, caring and mutual understanding. In fact, there is no established formula to acquire love. Love requires vision and approach towards life. Both should be acceptable to each other.
The important aspect in love is self-confidence and trust earned by both. Confidence begets trust. Trust is most powerful supporting means for love, attraction, admiration and then may be marriage.

There is no age bar for love. Love is impulsive instinct comes with birth. Infant, children, adolescents, youth, husband, father, mother, grandpaas, all carry with them, this celestial element within themselves. However, manifestation of love differs in various stages. Without love the world of human can not exist.therefore, teenage love also may be real love and just not an infatuation. In teenage love, it being the maiden feeling of love in life, the amount of physical attraction is more visible.

Well dear!
It could be infatuation or even true love, teen years are such that the person starts differentiating between love and affection but because of little or no experience in judging people some teeagers get trapped by the other oversmart individual who has probably learnt too much too early on the negative side. Therefore, I would suggest that even if you fall in love in your teen years, there is no problem but please do not rush, test the other person by delaying his advances, I mean to say that in no case the teenagers should get involved physically with the other person till you are around say 18 years or so, but I know some of the teenagers today want to experiment, so i would suggest that they should always use condom when they want to have sex. There is no fromula for judging whether the love is true or false except the test of time, so just give yourself time and the life will teach you to identify real and false feelings of the other person. The best thing would be to have a good friendship with a mature and older person around you, may be arelative or a friend, who can guide you and the one you can trust.

A true love is being happy for the other person when they are happy, Being sad for the person when they are sad, Being together in good times, And being together in bad times.Being honest with yourself at all times, Being honest with the other person at all times, Telling, listening, respecting the truth, And never pretending.If someone really loves a girl he never looks her physically or can't think of her sexually.We can't blame all tennaged love.Some teenagers also love seriously and after some years marry to their lovers.
