Don't take this the wrong way, but I don't think you're even in any danger of being in love at your age.

You're just in danger of having your first serious romantic relationship by 15 years old, and this is enough to make most teens proclaim they're "in love." (OF COURSE it feels like real love. Because at 15yo what are you comparing it to? Sharing lunchboxes with someone in gradeschool? Making out with someone in their parents basement?)

But when the same people are in their 20s (or sometimes even just their later teens) looking back, they just about laugh at themselves for thinking what they had at 15 was "real love."

i think you love someone when you're willing to do ANYTHING for them maybe without them even asking.

You love someone when they're always on your mind and you smile randomly when you think about the silly things they do.

You're in love when you miss them every waking second and you can't look at any other person without thinking they're not as good as the one you love :)

you get butterflies all the time haha and they just take your breath away just by looking at you or talking to you!

you can love ANYBODY you chooooose tooo :) regardless of age, race or location :)

you'll know when you're in love :)

i hope this helps :) xxx
