I remember being so in love that I would have done anything. I remember being so in love that I sat in my room and cried for weeks because he didn't feel the same way. I remember being in love with someone that I never could have had, and feeling worthless because of it,

I've been there and I think many of us have been.

I agree with Alty...you're listening to us and that says a lot about you.

Good luck to you.

Thank you so, so much. I know what it is also, to feel like you're in love and get your heart broken with a much older man, hahah. I remember crying for weeks, too. He was 23, in a band, and I don't know what it was about him, but I thought him perfect, like the best thing that had happened to me. This was, however, before I got hooked with the guy I'm mentioning here, but I know how it feels.

My mother always tells me to watch out from guys' lies. They sometimes just want to lead you on, and my mother lost her virginity at 16, just a step away from my age right now (I'll be 16 in a few weeks). She knows the pain and misfortune of not having someone take her seriously because of what happened all those years ago, and like you, doesn't wish that for me or anybody. I understand.

Thank you so much again, I really value the advice given to me here because it's from adults and not just anyone. Kids sound silly when they try to give advice, especially teenagers like me, so I'm glad I found this site.

My big crush was a body builder. He and his group went to schools as an inspirational thing. He came to our school and I had such a huge crush on him, instantly. There was just something about him. When the 1 hour presentation was done, I felt so very down knowing I'd never see him again. I found out that he was doing a presentation at a facility in the city, you had to pay to get in, 3 hour presentation. I dragged my best friend to go.

After that presentation he left to go on the rest of his tour. I cried for days. I was so depressed. I never even talked to him! He didn't even know who I was, but I was convinced that I was in love with him. I was 16 at that time.

Looking back now I wish I could go back and slap myself. But hey, being a teen isn't easy, and the feelings you feel during that time feel very real. But real love comes later. Not saying that you won't end up with this guy. You could. I know people that have been together since they were 15, got married, and are still happily married today (they didn't get married at 15, just to be clear). My friend got pregnant at 17, and she and the father married before their son was born. They're still together to this day, and happy. But those stories aren't the norm. Heck, even mine isn't. I met my husband at 19, and we're still together, and very happy. It does happen. But there's a bigger chance that this will just be a bump in the road. Still, why not enjoy it, as long as it doesn't negatively affect your life.

I was madly in love with Nena....ok, to be honest, I still am....it's just that I understand it all now.

If he can't understandyour needs and your time schedules, and becomes "emotionally unstable", than he's not worth your trouble, ihmo.
