Is it wrong for a 12-year-old to be in love with a 10-year-old?

Emphatic NO! Age has nothing to do with love and there have been many amazing poeple who have had age differences greater than two years. My own parents are six years apart, and I know of a couple who are ten years apart.

Um, kind of.

Oh, anonymous person, you forget how age difference is so big at this age! For your parents, they're basically on the same maturity level as each other. What this person is asking is basically "Is it alright for a 7th grader to be in love with a 5th grader?" Twelve year olds now are so much more precocious, yet ten year olds are basically still the same. It depends a lot on which gender is the older.

answer

Age matters for a certain period of time especially during your teenage years. For example it is not a good idea for a person who is around 17 to go out with a 13 year old , relationships like that seldom work. Even though this kid is only two years younger to you, you'll constantly be 2 years ahead of this kid in terms of maturity and bunch of other stuff. Its ok to like him , but if you are going for a relationship then its best you wait for a few years (and get to know him in the process) and maybe things will work out. There is nothing wrong in an age gap for marriage, but during your teenage years, you want to get away and spend time with people your own age and who can relate to things you are going through, so wait awhile till you start a relationship with this kid.

Answer

Why is it that so many people try to put an age limit on something as personal as love. Of course there's nothing wrong with it. Anyone can be in love as long as the love is true. If you feel that passionately about each other than you wont even be considering what age you are. Love is natural and doesn't have an rules. We can't bottle it up and try to say what it can and cannot do.

ANSWER

You can't control how you feel. You might love her or maybe you just aren't comfortable around girls your own age and want to aim younger. It's fine but don't tell her or make it apperant to anyone until she is a little older. It could be very akward for both of you if she knows this young. She's not mature enough or ready for dating or any kind of relationship. When she's a bit older, after you've done some thinking, then you can tell her that you've felt this way the whole time. I found myself on the other end of this situation a little while ago and it can be very confusing.


Um its a little wierd

right now it may look kinda weird. the maturity level will be kinda tough to get around. when your ready to take the relationship to the next level its probably still gonna be akward for the young one. Once yall are in high school it will get better try and wait till then when yall are both more experienced with relationships and such.

answer

To be honest, changes are going to happen. There is nothing wrong with a 12-year-old loving a 10-year-old, but it may not be that way after a little while. As long as it's innocent (which I highly hope it is) you shouldn't need to worry. Odds are it's not going to go long-term. So be prepared if a break-up happens.

Answer

Well, that age difference may be a bit bigger than most...well, all parents would enjoy. If you were the same age then yeah, it would be cute, but at those ages 2 years is a long time. When you get older, and if you're still close friends it's would be alright for sure.

Answer

At 12 years old you are not in love, you have a crush, or you are in like with the other child. You are a child, you do not fully understand being in love with someone. You can love someone without being in love. Also you are not yet mature enough to be worrying about being in love, much less with a 10 year old child. Enjoy being a child, adulthood will come along soon enough and it is not all that it is cracked up to be. Be aware that being in love and in a relationship also means responsability. Time will come that you will find your soul mate, the love of your life, until then love your friend and enjoy your childhood.
