Age and True Love?

Hm. Is there such thing as "you are too young to know whether the person you are with is the one you will spend your life with"? I know one has to be mature but I was just wondering, is there such thing like.. For example, me. I am only twenty years old. Do you think at my age, I'm too young to know whether I'll spend my life with this guy? I know maturity is a big role but what about the physical age? Do you think twenty years old is too soon? Do you think I should be in my thirties or late twenties? I was just wondering, what age were you when you met that person you realized you want to grow old with?

hehehehe well i am 24 years old now and right now going steady with the sweetest guy i know...... yeah probably would want to get married to him someday..... not that interested in marriage and stuff as of now but hell.... i still dont know whether he is the person i would want to grow old with...... that sounds like a long long time...... i dont live that far in the future girl!! but till date i havent met someone to whom i could look up and say that yeah....... he is the guy i would want to spend the rest of my life with and want to grow old with.... this guy i am dating currently i wouldnt mind growing old with him...... but firstly i wouldnt want to live all that long.... for me 60 is a very good age to leave this world ;P but yeah when you are way too young at times you may make mistakes due to the lack of ecxperience in your life..... but at times.... like me.....when i was 14 i fell in love for the first time with a guy and that guy mind u i still love....... though he is married now and i have no contact with him what so ever...... but till date he is the only guy i feel that i would want to grow old with..... i felt it then when i was 14 and i still feel the same though my parents dint quite approve of the thought........... they thought i was way too young to make such decisions and that finally when i would mature i would feel differently.... so i am mature now.... but i dont feel differently.... if they still ask me the same question as to who would be the person i would want to spend the rest of my life with...... my answer would still remain the same as it was when i was immature..... though i know that my life with that particular guy would be a challenge..... but nonetheless i would go with my decision..... but now that he is already married i would change my decision to the guy i am dating currently...... i know that if i decide this guy to spend the rest of my life with and grow old with i know the love would never go down...... plus my entire family would be really happy...... so all these decisions that you actually make for yourself arent just for yourself finally..... they involve all the people in your life.....

My friend phyrethyme I think it just happens. But usually at the right age when you are mature enough to handle pain or hurts. Take your time and enjoy life. Anyway it will just comes along. I only found my real and true love at the age of 32, really madly in love and seriously involve. Have a nice day to you! You take care!

Yeah I met mine at 12, but be careful because my parents met at 13 and ended up getting a divorce 10 years later

I don't think twenty years old is too young to know if you are truly in love. I am only 19 and have been in a relationship for 4 years with the woman that I love. As long as it feels true to you, no one can tell you that you're too young.

On my opinion, age is just a number,people mature at different rates...I'm twenty four and trust me i've had my share of "he's the one(s)" lol but they turned out not to be lol...i am in a relationship now...and i feel that my partner is the one that i want to marry...have children with...grow old with and all of that...but there's really no way to tell if that's who these things will happen with...though i want it to be...life can throw you a curve ball at anytime...so...you just have to go with the flow of things...if you feel you are in love...be in love...live in the moment...make those plans for the future and just hope for the best...that's what i do...i wish you the best!

i don't quite agree with that, love has nothing to do with age nor maturity. in my case, i felt lost in love when in i was high school, was it too early? i don't think so, who would've thought when someone you did not even know, just entered your fortified heart and made you could not sleep for ages. sadly, my case did not end like on those Hollywood movies, the hero killed the monster and saved the princess. i failed to kill the monster, even i did not have any weapon to kill it. to know whether if h/she is the right one is easy, just imagine if that someone becomes your husband/wife, what kind of life you'd lead to with him/her? and be realistic, love -in the real life- cannot buy anything, rite?
