I don’t know what love is, Rosie
Hey Rosie,
I am an 18+ young lady who tells herself that she is in love…..Rosie, to be honest, I donât know what love is, but this boy came out of nowhere and just catch me in the trap; now I guess Iâm in love. He says that he loves me, but I donât really know if itâs true or not. I believe that he does, but I have no clue of what is love. Rosie, can you tell me what love really means?{{more}}
Young Lady
Hey Young Lady,
What is love? Love can mean different things to different people. I think in your case, being so young, itâs finding someone who makes you blush and giggle. Someone whom you Facetime with and day dream about a lot. Also someone who makes you feel uncertain and sometimes jealous, because you are not yet confident in your personal vision of yourself and what a relationship can be.
These feelings are very similar for people who are older, but at that stage you might start thinking about long-term relationships, building a future and possibly marriage, along with children.
However, my very simple advice to you is to just enjoy each otherâs company. Donât put big strains and demands on the relationship. You are only teenagers and that is not necessary at this stage. Also know that it can be puppy love/infatuation, which can end abruptly. Donât panic, this is all a normal part of young love. So again, enjoy the journey, be safe and know that you have so much life to lives; so, embrace your carefree years.
Rosie
