Is there an age level for "love", can one be "in" love if they're 13 years old?
hmm...how can I explain this without sounding like a jerk?
okay...at 13 years old I think you have the capacity to care for someone or feels a strong desire to be near that person...
but at 13, I really don't think LOVE is what you're feeling. love comes from someplace deeper inside of yhou and I think the capability to FEEL that loves comes from life experiences that most people have not had at 13...
now..that being said...I don't think at 13 you're emotionally constipated either. But I feel LOVE...real TRUE LOVE happens after you've experienced life more...at 13 you should stay friends with the person you feel so strongly about...and see what happens...how you feel about them when you're 16 or 17...even then...just wait and find out...I'm not saying its not possible...I'm saying you need to be careful about how you use the word LOVE.
Like others said, love can come to your heart however old you are, of course for a thirteen-year old, theres more likely a possibility of it simply being an 'attraction', since you're not very developed mentally enough to understand the psychology of love. It can feel like love and look like love, it can even -be- love, but I don't know for sure. :3
So most of young teenagers tend to break up before a year comes. You could've met your soulmate during those ages, but the chances are kind of slim. Of course, with every break-up grows strength, courage, and understanding. Then you'll comprehend 'love' much better than you do now. xD
I think a 13 year old can fall in love, but I don't think a 13 year old can fully understand it, or tell the difference between true love, and puppy love, or even lust... Not to disrespect younger people, but there are different stages in life, and as you advance through them you'll understand better, and you've kind of got to experience these feelings of love, through trial and error, a couple times before you really get the hang of it, most adults still have trouble with it lol...
There are different levels of love. 13 yr olds can love, but its more of an attraction, new feelings type of love. Physiologically 13-17 yr old brains cant comprehend the deeper/serious type of love. Young love prepares us for what comes later. Its through experiences we gain knowledge, and each relationship teaches us something about ourselves, and what we want/need for a lasting commitment.
