Do You Feel Sorry for younger people who "think" they are in love?

[Equint77]

My parents did not have a shotgun wedding dammit

Though my mother was pregnant with me though

it's a nice day for white wedding.... it's a nice day to start again...







wait.... that wasn't a white wedding... never mind.

I wanna know what love is, I know you can show me.
I wanna feel what love is.

Do you feel sorry for younger people who "think" they are in love with someone?

I don't.

People who go out with someone and fall in love after 3-4 months and such. People who aren't experienced like most. People have more life ahead of them, and they "believe" that they are deeply in love with someone and they are a soul mate at that young age very quick. I think it's very stupid and naive for them (especially girls, no offense) to believe that, to only break up less than a year later and cry and complain. It's bad enough when someone does it once, but when you do it again, it's just plain stupid. I think it's kinda desperate. I think people just want a relationship so bad, that they don't care and go mindlessly into that stuff. Immaturity is a killer in this situation. Some don't even know what the L word means.

Don't get me wrong, it happens sometimes, but dang, It rarely happens after such a short period of time. Ok, I know some are thinking I am shallow/mean, but it just makes me kinda mad. Gf/Bf is good as hell, don't get me wrong, but you gotta know where to draw that line.

...but that's just me.

I'd have to agree.

I'm 19, and in the past 5 months, I've had feelings of love, but I got smart.

One girl I really liked, and she didn't like me back, and just wanted to be friends. I was thinking way ahead of myself, and finally stopped and thought about it, and realized I didn't want to be with her.

The second girl, I used to work with... she was being an idiot. Talking about another dude right in front of me, when she knew I liked her. That was the end of that one.

Like from Anchorman..

"Yes, what is... love?"

"Well, it goes a little something like... (sings 'Afternoon Delight')"

 

[DareDemon]

Someone I know has "fallen in love" after knowing someone for one day.....twice. He's a completely pathetic person even ignoring that. He thinks having a 5 minute conversation is enough to fall in love with the person, get all depressed that they don't like being stalked, and become scene.

I am of the belief that you need to be with someone for at least a year to get past that "good date behavior" where the cute little quirks that your gf or bf does that turn into pet peeves.

I also think that most of us don't consider that 2-3 month relationship we had in high school as anything more significant than a fling or high school thing.

What I am not is presumptious enough to belittle a 14-19 year old feelings. It's all perspective. Sure that relationship does not have the trials and tribulations of adult ones where issues of money, family, work come into play. But to trivialize it as nothing, naive or stupid is pretty audacious. I look back now and laugh at how silly I was over a girl who "broke my heart" but at the time it was the whole world. High school and college is where a lot of us earn our battle scars, and grow from them. It's those trivial dating we do that sometimes shapes how we date later.

 

[U.S War Machine]

respect them

 

[batnkevlar]

Hmmm... I don't think love comes with every relationship... that's stupid to thin that way like many younger people...

me and my ex-gf, I've known her for four years... we've had our ups and downs, she's my best friend now, and I know her and she knows me.

I love her. It's just the way it is.

I don't think it's cuz she's my first gf. It's cuz I know her so well. I mean, I spent 18 years with ideas on how to be a perfect bf, and when my first gf came, i was as close to it as I can get.

yeah, i love her.

What do you hate life? Cause relationships and falling in love (even at an early age) is part of life. Love, pain, learning, that's all part of growing up.

 

[jaguarr]

No, I don't feel sorry for them or pity them. It's just a part of growing up. They've gotta get some experience somehow, after all.

Ok, yeah, this thread backfired.

MODS can close this down.
Somebody else can make a thread on this.

Hells no! Lackey needs to reply to my thoughout and stimulating post about our anal sex.

 

[Edd Extraordinaire]

I don't think half the people on this website can even grasp the concept of love. No offense, but I doubt none of you have really experienced it.

 

[Clerk]

Why do you get all the love in the world?

 

[Addendum]

Jealous black and envy green
No one died and left you queen
Rotted flesh and broken bones
Place your ass upon the throne

Just say no to love
Just say no to love

Multihued transparency
Of the girl you'd like to be
A special frozen place in hell
Preserved for those who love themselves

Left is right and right is wrong
None for all and all for none
I've had enough, say no to love
No to love

Jon Lord said that you were killed
Not possibly be more thrilled
A party thrown, I'm so excited
Since you're dead, you're not invited
On your grave I made a wish
You beneath me is such bliss
A fitting end for a phony
You dumped me for Tony Iommi

Left is right and right is wrong
None for all and all for none
I've had enough, say no to love
No to love

 

[Decay]

why should I be sorry????? it's totally normal for younger people to experience some kind of affection for someone and to believe it's love...in fact how can you say what kind of affection is love and which isn't?

 

[Fried Gold]

I feel sorry for anyone who thinks that they are in love.

 

[November Rain]

of course not, it's either that they have actually found it at a young age which is possible or that they are simply just going through the learning process of life.

people have to make their own mistakes to grow. however if they have advoided all those tedious steps and it's right for them, who am i to rain on their parade.

except for november rain/lm

 

[AndThePickles]

The part of this thread that I really disagree with is setting an age limit to love. I'm almost 20 and I know that I'm in love.

Have I THOUGHT I loved in the past? Yes, so I am familiar with those false, giddy feelings that people mistakenly think are love.

I can't say that I feel "sorry" for people who think they are in love but aren't....everything is a learning experience. It gets annoying hearing couples who have been going out for a week say "I love you", and toss "love" around like it was nothing, but they'll learn eventually.

 

[redmarvel]

No, I envy them. Being in love is a wonderful feeling as long as it is reciprocated. Young love is the most innocent and wonderful feeling of all, without all the cynicism that comes after the first major breakup/letdown.

can you spell

accident...

The thing is though, love ultimatly is nothing, nothing more than an emmotional byproduct of the human desire to come together like a pair of flesh magnets, and then pro-create and raise offspring and the cycle can begin anew. Love isn't this devine creation that certain individuals are blessed with, but rather a biological and chemical reaction to the appropriate stimuli.

I didn't mean most of what I said in the first post.
I said it on the second page that my friend did some dumb s*** and it made me mad because I thought it was pretty stupid.

...and trust me, I've been past that "good date behavior" and dating for over a year.

Wowzer.

 

[Speedball]

I voted yes without reading the question.

I meant to vote no.
I'm young, and I don't think I'll fall in love til after I get out of college.
