Don’t Fall In Love When You’re Young

Skip to content. She had told me about him a month ago, telling me that this really cute guy kept approaching her to talk with her. At the time,I talked with her about ”the dangers” while also validating how good it felt to have someone notice you etc. I told her she was not to give him her number. So, now they’re texting and she’s grinning and blushing and feeling all special. My mother-bear self wants to lay down the law and tell her no way in hell is she going to be dating an 18 year old who we know nothing about.

According to this rule, society should accept a 50 year old man dating a 32 year old woman. A quick poll of my friends says otherwise. Reactions.

I am sixteen years old and my boyfriend and I have been together for over a year. He has bought me a promise ring and we spend nearly all our time together. It isn’t lust. We are both virgins and are going to stay that way at least for another year. I know he is the love of my life. I have no doubts! I am sixteen years old, female, and I’ve had the pleasure of dating my boyfriend for seven months today.

In my opinion, we have a relationship that is more enduring then many married couples today. Both of us have our own family problems, and we aren’t just dating for what most teenagers date for– feelings of love or desire. We’ve overcome many obstacles, and I’ve matured in more ways then one over the course of our relationship. We both love each other, and ever since I admitted my strong feelings for him to my parents, they’ve cut ne off almost entirely from him. They’re afraid of the heartbreak and risks that are often side effects of dating young.

I understand their concern, although it hasn’t stopped my relationship.
