Understanding What Love Is at Any Age

Love is a complex emotion that can be experienced at any age. It involves connection, care, and understanding. There is no specific age or experience required to truly love. Many people find love through self-awareness and genuine relationships, regardless of their age or life stage.

"it doesn't happen with someone you have never met."

this is true, i know i flirt alot, and quite frankly i hate that about me
but i know that I dont think i felt the love feeling for someone i just met, thats for sure.

well i have noticed it can cause tensions with other people...you know?
i'm too much of a people pleaser for tension but think this too.
flirting isnt serious and people want serious eventually.

....flirting isnt serious and people want serious eventually.....

*stumped* that's true....

If you want friendly flirting, just stay away from the serious folk : ) You can spot them right off the bat . . If someone is flirting back and you know they do it with everyone though, diff story. Flirting or not, eventually someone always wants serious. Kinda like, "can men and women really be just friends" sort of thing...

Random, from what I've learned, men don't always feel the same about the "just friends" part and there is always an ultimatim. I have 3 brothers, this is what they have taught me, lol...some females have an ultimatim too

Scorpius,

There has been research on what I 'm about to say. Women don't understand what true love is until they are between the ages of 25-27 or older. Men don't understand what true love is until they are between the ages of 27-31 or older. However, all the data was based on "serious relationships and why they fail". Scientist believe that the older you get, the more you realize what you want. It's no longer about looks ans the silly trifles anymore ... However, this only applies to those who are over the age of 25 and still single.

That's my 5cents πŸ™‚

Here is what I want to know. Does anyone ever find exactly what it is they are looking for? We all want/don't want certain things. I look around and I see soo many people who are married and just miserable. Of ripe age or not. Some shit always happens.

Most people want serious, real, "committed" relationships. Does this really exist? I'm sure it exists for some time, but forever? Even though people wed....it's not always because of love. After 10 years, is it really still . . "happily ever after'?

Maybe it's the negative that you're willing to put up with that shows you love someone after a certain amount of time. Because everyone has it.

Hi real love is an instinct a feeling like no other, a past life karmic connection and sometimes you cant read it until you are mature, mentally not necessarily physically. But if you feel it is real then it is.

I think love happens when you least expect it. Seems to be that with me every single time. When I want to fall in love, it doesn't happen. When I'm not looking, it always happens. To fall in love takes a very LONG time for me. You know, being an Aquarian, I have to observe and see what the person is all about. Love is very difficult. Having crushes is something I often have. I don't like to show my feelings too fast at all to the other person. I can tell very quickly if a guy likes me but I don't show all my cards as a protection. Right now in the recent, I have a guy I really like and I haven't even told him. I'm a little worried it'll backfire since he and I are good friends. Love is not easy I can tell you.

Scorpius, it doesn't matter you are only 19 years old. When you find love you won't want to let that person go and will do everything in your power to keep that special girl. Don't worry. You will find the special one when you least expect it.

Yeah, I'm sure Mr. Taxman loves everybody who works. I do wonder where the majority of the money goes since there are so many people who need help. Where I am (I'm an American living in another country) they tax us so unfairly. It's so expensive here but it's a great to live in. Don't like the taxes though.

my ex is English, when she told me how much they got taxed, i felt i had no more right to complain about our taxman...its a trade off though, your social programs are much better than ours...

Gem*Two,

I live in Norway, although I miss America very much. It's where I was born and lived for a number of years. America is a great place to live. Now I'm a fulltime college student and I work parttime also. I'm almost done though. My soon to be oppucation is very popular in attracting the opposite sex.

I had an ex-who's dad was from Norway, she visited and said she had a great time...would be interesting to see that place.
