LOVE is a concept. A WORD.

If you want to spend time with someone/something, then what is stopping you? A word?

Here is what I know:

Just because someone likes you or loves you

does not mean they will wait for you, they do not

have to put their life on hold and if they did I would

question their sanity.

However, if Love is meant to be it will happen

whether it comes to you or you find it...

no matter what happens in between

if it is meant to be it will be:

This person can get married, have kids and live

their life in a certain way before you are meant to be

together:

Example below...

I met the man of my dreams at a Senior function

the end of my Senior Year at the 4th High School

in 3 states that I had attended. Always the New Girl!

"Love at First Sight"

From that moment we met we were inseparable until

the end of Summer. However, due to circumstance set in

motion before we met, we had to part ways at summers end.

If you love someone let them go...

We were so much in Love that we did some serious talking

and decided to set each other free since we were going in

such different directions and there was so much of life to

experience..

So at the end of summer he was off to college

and I had to report for Duty in the Navy.

We wrote for a while but lost touch.

If they come back to you...

In June 2010 through Classmates.com and Face book we

reconnected. He was widowed and I divorced.

We SKYP’d all Summer. When we met face to face in

September 2010, time melted, the 35 years now seemed

more like yesterday and we picked up where we left off.

I moved in with him December 1, 2010.

True Love does not know time....

I disagree with the first answerer because I have had 3 love relationships in my lifetime and THEY found me, I didn't find them and I wasn't looking or even thinking of a relationship when they came along. I was at my friend's house one day when she was talking to her boyfriend. He had a friend at his house too and they thought it would be fun to put us on the phone to talk to eachother. I couldn't speak Spanish and he couldn't speak English! We ended up making a date via our friends translating for us and 2 1/2 yrs later we got married!! (and learned each other's language) Neither one of us was expecting to make a date that day, we were just over at our friends' houses hanging out.

To answer your question about a guy waiting til a girl is 18, he'd have to be really mature to make that commitment to wait and if he really wants to be with this younger girl and get to know her and date her when she's able to, he'll wait. If his interests are for sex or just to be a player and have a young babe on his arm to show off to his friends etc, then no, he's not gonna waste his time waiting and he's gonna do all he can to convince the girl to sneak around with him etc. and that's not love. There's never deception in true love.

Love is attraction. You can have mental, emotional, physical, or spiritual attraction, even just for a short moment. It's not a matter of finding or waiting, it's more...you're at the right place at the right time. To have certain attractions, like that of the mind, you certainly need to learn them before you can be attracted, and that takes time. Of course a strong relationship has all those attractions.

Philosophically, she shouldn't worry about love if she's not even 18 yet.

But one can only love what they know. You don't love someone just based on their appearance or their smile or any other superficial traits. It takes time to know someone.

This is actually a Ethical Question and if you are talking about emotions then your conceptions of Love because you should be able to love who you want ! But if you are religious in any way Divine Duty is the way to go because God is the highest form and his rules should be followed no matter the situation ! Personally I would go for Love ! Hope it helps !

RE:

Philosophical question on love?

So me and my cousin debated on love (even though we have no experience at all in this subject. lol) She said that if someone truly loved/liked her, he would wait for her till she was 18 (no dating. no dates either) I said that that person barely knows you, how can they truly "like"...

Both its comes to you but you have to find it. You will either find it when it reaches you or you won't and in that case you will have to do it all over again. Loves a puzzle isn't it...

Maybe the both of you would benefit by reading For Couples Only, by Shaunti Feldhahn.

It is very clear and helpful.

Nothing just "comes" to anyone, ever. You have to be out there looking for it, working on it, making yourself available to it. You're right, and your cousin is wrong, wrong, wrong.
