DIE-romantic. agony auntYour not too young to fall in love. Its just that younger people may not know what real love feels like, which i never did until i met the person of my dreams. I do look back on my previous relationships and they was just a phase, but this, its entirely different so i know that im in love and hes the one for me and im not even dating him. Real love feels amazing, and its something you want to hold onto forever, you never want the feeling to fade. Just seeing that person, your heart races and your whole body feels as though you are flying high above the clouds, you find yourself shaking and trembling, even when you are just thinking of them, they never leave your mind 24/7, just a natural reaction, you cant help it. Everything you do, you do it for them.

Like AskEve said, they might be opposites to you in maybe everyway, but you have a strong spiritual connection, and you know deep inside that its he/she that you want. You are happy to look in his/her eyes and not say nothing at all. And you find yourself transfixed in their eyes and cant take them away. The looks that you pass each other can say it all. You feel that no one else in the world can make you feel the way that he/she does.

Take care xxxx

AskEve agony auntIf you truly love someone then you respect them for who they are, warts and all. You want to look after them and protect them, you look out for them and put them first. You feel happy and content in their company and enjoy being together. Above all you can be yourself when you're with them. You never try to be anything more or someone different because you don't need to. You don't have to impress them to win them over and you never have to play games to make them like you. There is trust and understanding on both sides and you feel safe and secure within yourself. You would never undermine them, they are not someone in whose company you feel threatened or small. They are someone with whom you can share your innermost thoughts and worries, a person with whom you should be able to share anything, they are your friend and your confidante and you can be honest with them at all times, you can tell them anything because they love you as you are.

He/she may be someone who is the direct opposite of you. On the surface you may seem like chalk and cheese. Whilst you may be loud and forceful they may be quiet and thoughtful. You may come from different backgrounds, different countries or be twenty years apart but this doesn't matter. There is an unspoken language between you, the spiritual connection between you both is so deep that you seem to be able to communicate without even speaking to each other. You are happy to lie in silence together. You feel sometimes that there is no need to talk because you feel that you know what they are thinking anyway. You feel so close to them that sometimes you think you could almost read their mind. You know when they are worried, in pain, or sad just by looking at them. It is as though there exists some kind of telepathy between you.

Real love stands the test of time, you laugh together, cry together and even have your differences but this doesn't matter, you love that person AND their failings. You come together in a crisis and work through things together and this just brings you closer. You take their feelings into consideration in all that you do. They are the most important person in your life!

If you believe you can tell him anything, i mean anything, without being ashamed or embarrased, you love him. and as others wrote, you are never too young for love, but remember that as people grow into adults they change, you probably won't be the same person 5 years from now. but there's always a change that you could grow together instead of apart, in any case, enjoy it.

No you are not too young.

I personally didn't fall in love until I was 23 years old. And I had been in long relationships before that. But looking back on them, I wasn't in love. They were kind of contrived. It's cause I was a late bloomer, and I didn't really begin to really know myself until I went off to college. When I went off to college I was on my own and made my own rules in my life. And because of that I discovered what I liked and who I was. And once I knew that, I met someone and fell in love for all the "right" reasons. And not just because he is popular, or he is cute, or everybody else likes him. But rather because my heart, and only my heart, was smitten.

kenny agony auntWhen you love someone its one of the most wonderful feelings in the world. You bet butterflies racing round in your tummy when you see them. They are the first thing on your mind when you wake up in the morning, and the last thing before you drift off to sleep. They are constantly on your mind 24/7.

Enjoy this wonderful feeling of what being in love brings and cherish every moment.

All the best x
