Firstly we are both young (I'm 17 and she is 15). The thing is though. I'm always thinking about her, I will always listen to her, I would take a bullet for her, she has really changed the person I am, or more correctly showed me who I really am, she makes me feel like no one else can, I find her extremely attractive, I want to be with her for the rest of my life.

But also I'm a realist. I know that I'm young and really I can't be sure if I do love her. As far as I'm concerned I do.

As far as I'm concerned, as far as you're concerned is all that matters. There will always be someone who will tell you, "You can't possibly know what love is yet, you're too young." But then, how else are you expected to describe these feelings, these emotions, that have no other name for them but love? The only advice I can give you, is love and continue to love, regardless of others opinions. Never let go, not even for a second, or you may be sorry. Good luck to you both.

What I would say it, at the moment, you're smitten. In relationships we have what is called the Honeymoon Period. Where everything is covered in roses, you'd worship the ground they walk on. You want to spend every moment with them. Once that wears off, you see the real them. You learn how they are. You feel what it's like to have an argument. And you subconsciously decide THEN whether the real person is someone you love and want to be with.

It took me about 3 years to fall for my first boyfriend.

Let me ask it this way. Have you ever felt similarly about someone else?

I am not trying to minimize your feelings. They are real. But whether they are enough for a long term relationship, only time will tell. In the meantime enjoy what you have.

Hey, it seems I can only reply through answering my own question.

This is my first relationship and she had a relationship with another guy for seven months. Based on your replies it seems that I do love her. But like DC said a time will come where I found out if I really want to be with her.

Thanks!

If this is your first relationship, then there is the possibility that you are more in love with the idea of being in love then with your girlfriend. Again this doesn't minimize your feelings, just puts them in perspective.

I really liked what ScottGem had to say! It's wonderful that she has changed who you are today but I really think you should try to take things day by day. Take one moment at a time. YOu are very young and you have no idea what the future might have in store for you. Just enjoy the feeling and don't rush into things too quickly. YOu have your whole life ahead of you and so does she!

Nothing wrong with being in love at any age. Just enjoy it, and don't get carried away.
