For teenagers, that is a BIG question. If you are an adolescent boy, the answer is NO to love, YES to lust! An adolescent girl, however, will always believe she's in LOVE!

That's just the female makeup. We feel more from the heart than anywhere else. A young girl can feel for a young boy like he is the love of her life and she would do anything to please him. Her hormones have been activated and she is wide open to the thought of sex with her new love. She believes she will be in paradise and they will ride off in the sunset together one day and live happily ever after. I was a girl once and I still remember how it felt to think I was in love. I realized all too soon, after the boy's "real" girlfriend tried to beat me up that I did not love him like I thought I did. He actually laughed when he heard what his real girlfriend had done to me. I was humiliated when I told him and got that response. How dare he laugh at me! God knows there's a thin line between "love and hate" and I learned that in a snap!

When I was in my Junior year in high school, I did meet a boy that I fell in love with and that was the love of my life. Real love is something that you will know for sure. It's how two people treat each other with the utmost respect and caring. I was sixteen and he was nineteen and he never once approach me in a threatening manner for sex. I was still a virgin and used to boys saying, pawing, and doing backover flips in order to get into my panties. But not this boy. Even my family loved him. He had a personality that was all-consuming and we got to know each other very well. We knew we were in love because sex had nothing to do with it at that time. And when we did embrace, finally, it was something so divine, I will never forget it for as long as I live.

Young ladies, that is love. If you don't have a relationship based on getting to know each other and I mean really knowing each other, then you have nothing. He will disappoint you the first time he ask you to do something for him if you love him. Those are the words of LUST, not love.

For example: This is a true story of a young 14 year old girl who thought she was in love with a 16 year old boy. They went together for a few months and had their little kissing and touching moments. One day the boy asked her to his house when his parents were not home. He took her up to his room and talked for a very short time before he started in on the kissing and touching again. She told him to STOP and not touch her there.
