Q: I’m a boy, fourteen years old. I have a girlfriend I like a lot. The problem is that I’m not sure how you’re supposed to feel when you’re in love. What is true love? How do you know when you’re in love? My girlfriend claims she’s in love with me, so I feel guilty not being in love with her.
A: Have you ever heard a guy who has just seen a beautiful girl remark «I’m in love»? Is that love? No, it’s infatuation. Infatuation is normal. It involves many of the same feelings and emotions as love.
So, what’s the difference between love and infatuation? Basically, love stands the test of time—tough times. First, true love takes time to grow and mature. It’s estimated that teenagers «fall in love» at least five times in high school. Don’t be in a hurry—true love develops over time. And don’t feel guilty If you’re not sure it’s love. Second, true love survives tough times. True love is more than fuzzy feelings. It likes to give, not just get. I suggest you use 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 as a measuring stick to help you determine whether you are really in love.
