Or are couples today longing to find that intangible feeling written about by poets and immortalized in movies and songs. SEX, etc. conducted an unscientific sampling of teens' views on the subject and found the romanticized view of love remains the dominant one. The teens we talked to tend to see love as a feeling unlike any other. Some of us say love is a deep emotion that only grows over time. Some call it a kind of energy that charges and revitalizes the senses and gives us courage to face our fears and conquer our greatest challenges.
Love is the purest emotion, but also the hardest to obtain, say others.
You're willing to be totally committed to the person for life. I don't know true love. I've never experienced it. I think teenage love and true love are two different things. Most of us agree that commitment means monogamy in a relationship, although some think that may be impossible during the teen years.
