Well..I thought I was in love with this girl Carolyn..Because everything with her seemed to fall right in place and it was so wierd, how everything was just falling in place..I dont really know how to explain the situation we were in..But it wasnt love, and at that point in my life I dont think I knew what love was..And the funny thing is..That was just about 5 or 6 months ago..But OrangeSmoke couldnt have said it better.."when you find the right girl, you will definitley know what it is"..I mean..People might say I am too young to know what love is..But the girl I am with now..I know she is the one..I mean..I could go on all day about her..Ahh..I mean..I dont really even know how to say the way I feel about her..I am in love with her..And I truly do believe it was "love at first sight"..Because when we first met each other, something went off inside me..And automatically there was 'chemistry' or whatever you want to call it..And me and her have talked about marriage...But of course first we have talked about what we are going to do for college and everything..And since she is a year younger than me we have discussed what I am going to do while she finishes up her senior year and everything..I mean..Me and her can sit there and not say a word and we would be happy together, just because we would be together.I mean, wow..I love it..I love her..And I dont care what anyone says..I have had my fair share of girlfriends, and there has NEVER been one like this before..And there will never be one like this ever again, because I know we are going to be together for the rest of our lives..

Danny! You are a lovestruck fool! And that does not mean it will not work out to be the forever and always dream you have! I wish and hope for you that it does! Here are some points of reality to reflect on:

1) Change is constant. Things WILL change. Being aware of that can help you to be in control of the changes, so that you two can shape your own future together rather than letting it shape you.

2) It is a long life, and people change! Growing together as friends is so very important. In the blink of an eye, people often go crazy on you and bail. It is truly a leap of faith to trust another human being, and their level of commitment. I read your post, My friend, and it speaks to me of your Love, and your commitment. You are talking about decades and decades of loyalty. Dude! A single decade, especailly at such a young age, is a long, long time! Young people, in particular, go through incredible changes as they mature and experience life. So many are the stories that start as you told us, that end in bittersweet growth and maturity when the dream comes apart at the seams! There aint no good guys, there aint no bad guys, there's only you and me and we just disagree! Unless somebody has a lack of integrity and CHEATS! This happens a lot, dude! Especially women do it! They have the power, and the control, and then nobody knows except them. The guy usually only finds out later. You have a long life in front of you , Dan, keep your eyes open! Not everybody is as good and kind as you are! Sometimes a guy does not find that out until way later! Be aware!

No actually. I haven't found that one girl that has rocked my world and changed my whole view on life. When and if it happens, i'm going to take a lil bit at a time and not rush into anything. Rushing into things always leads to disasters.

Yaba, West!

Love is not a feeling. Feelings come and go, ebb and flow like the tide of the ocean. Love is WHAT YOU DO. It is not what you say, or a feeling, it is what you do. A person who hurts you over and over while claiming to love you, and talking of their feelings, why that person is showing you the nature of their love! It is what they do, not what they say!

I am giving you young pups GOLD here!

How many of you have had a romantic relationship that became serious enough that you loved them. How many of you have "loved" more than one person? How many of you have considered marriage with that person, or are or were married to taht person? How many were married more than once?
