do you know what true love is?  probably not . . . you are infatuated with him . . . and visa-versa.\n\nEnjoy your time with him . . . but don't get too convoluted in this relationship . . . because odds are when you go to college . . . you will find someone else much better.

Not unless you are under 18, and even then, falling for him is\nnot a crime, having sex with him is a crime..

You are 17, when I was 17, now 27, I was madly in love and thought I had found the man I would spend the rest of my life with.  We stayed together for three more years and he cheated on me twice and beat me up once.  I'm not saying that all guys will do that, but when you're 17 you have no idea who or what you or anyone else will turn out to be.  Don't rush into marriage.  Find out who you are and let him find out who he is and if it's meant to be, it will be.

You are young and you have plenty of time to fall in love. Each person is different when it comes to fallinf in love. You will know that you are old enough when you meet the first boy that you just can't stop thinking about. Then you will know if you are old enough to be in love. But don't rush yourself you are young and should go out and have fun before worrying about love and your future.

wait two more years. theres nothing wrong with your age diffirence. just dont do something illegal. im 29 and my girlfriend is 18. we love each other. whats important is love not age. age is just a useless number we count so that we can tell ourselves we become wiser. what a file of siht. what we are and who we has nothing to do with age, and everything to do with ourself and wagr we think of ourselves. \n\nthe long and short of it is: if you love her and she loves you go for it. just be careful not to end up in jail.

I fell 'in love' at the age of 15, but...had absolutely NO idea what that mean't until I was 21!, and by then it was someone else.\nOf course it's possible to be in love at 16 and alot younger, this happens all the time. \nBut in my experience, you need to have a slightly more adult perspective to gauge 'love' in the 'opposite sex' sense.

around 16-18 years old...depends if u truly love the girl with all the intensity in your soul and heart...and if u do once you hit 18(the legal age)I would go for it.

I think that at 17 you are too young to be settling down with a 21 yrs old boy. You haven't experienced the world yet. Your parent are right. You may think you have the maturity to deal with the world at your age, but it would be prudent and wise to wait til you are older. Chill out the romance til you are 25 or older. Go to college, make something out of yourself. Get a career. Make a living. Decide what you want to be. \n\nDon't get hanged up on a man. What you are feeling isn't love. It's infatuation and hormones. Ask yourself objectively, what it is about this person that would make him a good husband. Is he kind? Do you and him communicate?\nIn 10 years time, how will you really feel about him? Will you feel the same? If you say yes, then you really haven't the foggiest notion of what love is. \n\nTalk to your pastor if you belong to a church. Talk to an older female friend if you have one, if you don't want to talk to your mother. Other than that, wait til you are 25 before you make the mistake that other girls your age make and get pregnant and find out that life is hard. Harder for a 17 yrs old mother than a 25 yrs old. \n\nPlease, please, if you are sexually active, please use protection.\nThe best protection for your future is abstainance.\n\nBest of luck in the world on your journey to womanhood.

you are too young to experience true love. Wait until you get older. There is so much time, and so many guys.

Yes and no. I would say you are too young because I have "been there done that". Hell at my age I thought I was in love til I realized my ex wasn't "the one". No because there are some relationships that truely can last well into your old age years that start off as young as you are. Trust me you will know when you are in love or lust.

I'm 20 and my fiance is 21.. weird... same ages.. we've been together for 3 years and engaged 1.. we will have been engaged for 2 and together 4 when we get married next September. I don't think age is an issue.. you have to do whats right for you when you're ready, you can't put a time frame on love  :) if you and your boyfriend want to be engaged 20 years and have a 10 year honeymoon, by all means.. do it ... do whatever makes you happy.. life is too short to worry about what other people think =)  good luck

It's a beautiful thing to be in love when you are young.  You haven't had time to experience being hurt, disappointed and disillusioned by someone.  You love that person with complete abandon and believe that you can have that feeling forever.  I think that it's possible for young love to last.  If you are willing to stand by each other through the good times and the bad times.  If you accept the changes in each other as you go through life.  I Wish You Much Happiness!

I fell in love at the age of 5, and I still love "him" nowadays. Our love has blossomed even more and we're planning to get married soon.\n\n(I'm currently at the age of 18 right now, so yours is all ok for me... if it's not, i'm definitely worse than you.)

i understand what you are saying perfectly. after you have been hurt enough times, you don't want to go down that road again....when you are 18 and the first time in love, they really don't get it....at least not yet..........but, remember, if we do not love to keep pain out,,,then we also do not let love in.....it's a risk, but it's worth taking.. good luck
