How old were you when you first fell in love?

I think I was 19 when I first fell in love. That is because I am 19 now, and the guy I'm with now makes me feel totally different than any other guy I've ever met! He is so sweet, and I get butterflies when I'm lying in bed with him.. when he goes home, I miss him right away, and we'll talk on the phone for 2 hours every night before we go to sleep, even if we've seen each other the same day and don't really have that much to say to each other. We can talk for hours about pretty much nothing.. How old do you think you were when you first fell in love? And was it real love, or were you just kidding yourself?

I was 14 when I first fell in love. I spent 6 yrs with that same guy, we had our ups and downs, but I do believe it could've been true love. I've been in love since, and I'm no longer in love with that first love. The guy that I was in love with last, was really true love, because that love just hasn't left yet. He was everything I could've hoped for, though we were just friends. We had two different lives, and that's what took us from each other, but like I said, that love hasn't stopped yet. I'm waiting for someone to sweep me off my feet, that one who I will indeed love for a lifetime.

Falling in love? .... hmmh ... until the age of 36 years old as like this, actually I still wonder what it's like falling in love. Is it true as they say the poets, when we fall in love with a flowery taste of our lives. I honestly have never felt anything like that. The only feeling confused when was pleased with the opposite s*x is when my age 13 year old, but I do not know, whether it is a feel confused is a feel "Falling in love"? until now, I do not know

i guess i began to like others since i was 11,of couse,all of them are secret.actually i think i used to focuse on about 8 guys,that really make me have a sense of sin.there was a special guy whom i used to like for 4 years,i believed he was my love at that time.however,he's not.and so was everyone of them. finally i knew that i just fell in love with my own imagination,my own feeling... my first and last real love began from my 20th years old.he was my friend.i don't have the feeling of exciting like before.sometimes i even wonder why we stay together at the end.but the moment i know that i can't leave him when we quarrel against each other.maybe i would admire at the romantic love of movie,the strong love.but i know the only one whom understand me is him.

I was 16 and it was 39 years ago. Yes even with hindsight I think it was real love from my side, although he didn't feel the same way about me. Just now and again, after all these years, I still think about him sometimes.

I think at the age of 10 years old when I have a first admirer then at the age of 13 have my first boyfriend. Thus, it would never last as we are both immature. I never know if that is love or infatuation,and the guy is sweet, gentle, caring and with a sense of humor that melt me in an instant. Well, this guy is my classmate then i use to ride on his bicycle way back to school and he always been part of my friend groups. Then, we just parted when my family move from another places and that is the last time i see him. Thus, in the coming years I have suitors too but never get so serious with them as I am busy studying. Thought, the communication is only from phone and YM as he live in another provinces. Though, we met every December and other important occasion. I could not say it is love unless I marry him, and for now just enjoying each other company.

I was 19 years old the first time that I thought I fell in love, but I realized when I was 21 and I met my husband that I had been kidding myself. I just thought I was in love with the boy when I was 19. I was 21 when I really and truly fell in love, and that was with my husband. We've now been together for seven and three quarters years and we've been married for just over five years. We have two children together and we rarely have fights with each other. I know that we will be married for the rest of our lives.

I can still recall the feeling, the joy...even the pain..cherish it all for when you grow old you will have something to tell your children or even grandchildren. Cheers!
