There is no age limit for love when we are a baby we love our parents right?
but we get naughty abilities when we are 12-14+

You are old enough when you know the difference between having a strong physical attraction for the person versus true love. This can come at any age but waiting for it is worth the wait!

Well firstly
I do not believe it is possible to "fall in love."
Falling in love implies that you suddenly love a person (hence the word fall) and it is not possible to suddenly love a person (it just won't be real love)
That aside, there isn't any real age but most people until the teenage years only love their family, and then the may or may not start to "fall" in love.
In my opinion to truly love a person you need to know them for at least a few years, that way you understand who they are not just how they look.

I think the obvious answer is 42.

....no, I was not being serious. Hitchhiker's Guide ftw :P

Love doesn't exist - it's just another human-made response to outside stimuli and inner desire to find a mate.

42 Lol!

Love is what you think is love. Love can have different forms.

i say 27

sounds about right

There is a huge line between love and lust.

Thiiiiissssssss old.



I didn't know there were age requirements for emotions...

You only have to be five. Maybe younger. See this book.

A few years ago my family life teacher was talking to us about the difference between lust and love and here's what he told us:

Say you have a girlfriend who you 'love' now lets say she gets into an accident, where all her hair's been burned off, she has 3rd degree burns over 90% of her body. She will have heavy scarring for the rest of her life.

The deciding factor:

Are you still willing to spend the rest of your life with this woman? That is the difference between the two.

Say you have a girlfriend who you 'love' now lets say she gets into an accident, where all her hair's been burned off, she has 3rd degree burns over 90% of her body. She will have heavy scarring for the rest of her life.

You can be in love anytime you want. Period.
