"Every relationship will help you?" Oh please. Be realistic here. The fact is that some people start and end relationships every two weeks. Do they learn anything from their relationships? It seems rather unlikely.

They learn from they're mistakes. Stop with the "know it all" attitude cos it's starting to get annoying. I can say for myself, with the unsuccesful relationship that I will definitely learn from it. And you're telling me to be realistic and then you say some stupid example that some people are in a relationship every two weeks? Good one mate. lol

Some people learn from their relationships. Many don't. I personally must say that I know many people who started dating at 13 and continue to do so now. Their list of partners is quite extensive. And yet they still don't understand what it is they're doing wrong.

Well people starting to date at 13 is just stupid. I haven't heard of any one dating at that age. Most people I know date at a mature age of around 17 or so.

Ah. Then I understand where you're coming from. There's a significant difference in maturity level between 13 and 17. In my schools, about half started at 13 (not coincidentally, many of the girls in that cohort are now pregnant or have kids). If they start at 17, then of course it's different.

Well, I started late (16yo) and I regret it. Best girls were already taken, and no, not by older dudes, but by boys of equal age. If I started earlier, it would be different perhaps. And it's not a rule that they fail either, sure it happens a lot, but I also happen to know a couple who started dating when they were both 14 and are together until today (they are 23 now.)
So it's worth a try, even if the success rate is low 
Besides, again, it just feels so good when you are young  I wish I was 15 again, damnit.

Not the case in my experience. Maybe it's different in Poland, though.

Maybe in the same way that playing old games makes you nostalgic, and fond memories of playing in the playground, etc. But when you think about it rationally, being young sucked. It's much, much better now than it was at 13 or so.

I specifically remember how incredibly it felt to play Betrayal at Krondor for the first time, even without sound, for instance. I wasn't new to gaming, already was playing for a couple years then but it felt incredible. The combination of "Sewers theme" and the atmosphere... was just wow. Those feelings gradually went away. Now games are fun, but that's just what they are.
Similar to dates. Christmas. Everything. Nothing really tastes that awesome anymore
I miss it, really. Being a kid is the best thing in the world. Not too young, so you can take responsibility for your actions, and too old, to still feel the flame. 13-16 was the best time of my life.
Oh, and in Poland, people start relationships very early. That's why I was forced to turn to young girls in order to find some relationship-free ones >_>

What is love... well, that's pretty difficult to say in a language that has only 1 word for so many different types of love.
So regarding the type of love the ancient greeks calles "eros", this is in the beginning nothing else than hormons going wild and logics going low. And when it ends early, it's again same thing, just reverse. Think of it as kind of sickness.
Sure, if such "eros" lasts for some time, it develops a whole new dimension. At least should do. And if it ends then, it's like the end of a universe. And it is indeed. Not good, but common. Not easy to handle. And nothing to forget ever. I'm already 52, and many of these events still bother me today. That's life, you have to live with it. You won't ever forget. But if you're lucky some day you will be able to forgive. That helps.

On one hand, I know what you mean. In our childhood, we have these huge moments that we look forward to for weeks, if not months, and then when they happen, we enjoy them immensely. It's not quite that way any more.
But, if you think about it, day-to-day life has gotten much better (at least for me). If you remember, the days between the "huge moments" weren't that great.

I certainly wouldn't try to shut him up "because I have more experience" 
That's because he has no arguments whatsoever. What good is experience if I'm not going to date his ex? Everytime someone makes a "how women are" or "how men are" list based on his/her experience I laugh at it based on my experiences. What is experience, a few dozen people at best? There are six billion people on this planet. What is the likelihood I will encounter the ones he had experience with?
In this case, statistics are a far, far more rational choice.
BTW will: you omitted the experience about being extremely mad and thinking of suicide when you break up -- at least if you want to give good advice to someone, tell them everything, they can draw the conclusions themselves if they are smart enough. So be fair.
Now, Azagal does have valid points although I think he is a bit reckless as far as it goes (I hope that's the right word, you know, opposite of cautious). At least he has arguments, albeit to explore it yourself, and his point is valid, since someone else's experience isn't terribly useful as no one is the same, so explore it yourself. (unless you're gonna date the same girl). There are, of course, problems with this, main one being the reckless argument (especially for more immature couples).

Dude, seriously, shut the hell up with this "he has no arguments whatsoever" bull****. I hear you say this whenever you disagree with a person even if they have arguments. I had arguments which is clear to see. Now piss off already because whatever you say has no merit because you have no idea what the hell you're talking about in regards to love. You do realise this is a thread about love don't you?
Oh and TheDeath, I didn't want to suicide cos of the breakup, jesus, I'm not that stupid. It was because I was depressed. I was already depressed when I was dumped.

I had a girlfriend for 60 years. Thus my word is superior.
Discuss it. Argue with it.

I know that, who doesn't have humor now? My point was that it can have negative consequences if you're not careful.

I wasn't arguing at all then, yeah they are statements. Oh and I didn't get your sense of humour mainly because I don't really joke about suicides and depression and stuff.

yeah well the joke was about exaggerating the consequences, not the suicide per se. But yeah it wasn't really a "joke" just "not very serious".
