  • Can Puppy Love Turn Into Forever?


    Is puppy love something that older people reference to when they see a young couple in the mist of love? Some people think puppy love isn't going to last or your not going to be with high school sweetheart but it can happen somewhere it has happen.I think if you just have a stable relationship with loyalty, knowledge, understanding you can make it work.

    I was recently talking to one of my good friends and we were discussing how one of my other girlfriends and her boyfriend have been dating 2 or 3 yrs and they are planning to get married and out of  our whole groups of friends they are the one's that are going to get married and not get a divorce and stay together forever. But i think if you have been with your significant other for 2 or 3 years you can still breakup even if you have been dating that long it can happen.

    Do you think most couples after high school work out?

    I'm not sure if it can last or not.... but awwwwwwwwwwwww that is the cutest picture!!!!
  • Parsimony@xanga

    It depends on how strong the foundation of the relationship is.  I think most likely it won't last because when people date in their youth they are still developing as a person and viable to change since circumstances are usually not contingent for lasting relationships.

    It depends on the couples. It can work if they make it work with being loyal, trustworthy and honest.
    its true people can still break up after 2-3 yr old relationship...but again it depends

    Most couples that were together in my high school are no longer together now (a few years later). But some people do meet the love of their lives at a young age and they're the lucky ones. 

    People usually change so much as they're transitioning into adulthood that they're not able to sustain a relationship with someone who loved their former self. But I find it amazing when people can grow together and preserve their relationship. 
    And as far as people breaking up after two to three years dating: People divorce after 50 years of marriage, two/three years is not a very long time in the big picture. 


    (Speaking of pictures: those puppies are too cute!)

    i think some couples can but others tend to change and their values/priorities are not the same anymore o-o

    That picture is so cute!~ :O
    My cousin and his wife met in the 7th grade, and started dating about three months after school started.  They broke up once during 9th grade, but that was the only time. They dated from the 7th to 9th, 10th to all throughout college, and then another two more years, until they finally got married :) It is possible.

    @soberheartss@xanga - I totally agree:)
  • zxzeebrastar@xanga

    I think it depends on the couple.

    no most of the time something like this never lasts that long. one reason for that is because atm they are young and inexperienced therefore they don't know how to deal with most problems for that particular fact. also overtime they start finding effects on each other that just won't do so that's when the conflicts start. it is rare when something like this does happen. not including all the things they had to go through to even make it this far. i've seen many cases in which couples who were in high school are no longer together for some minor problem that happened or for the most insignificant thing due to their inexperience and what not. thing is that these sort off couples often aren't sure if that's the life they want or not. if they are ready for such a big step. of course those who are married know of what I am talking about. it's not something you just get to decide out of the blue you need to know of the commitment you will be making and that life won't be the same once you make that choice of being with that particular person. moreover, puppy love as they call it only lasts for a few days/months if lucky a few years but other than that it is quite unusual and rare if the relationship goes any farther than that.

    Absolutely not.  Most people are really immature at the time so they are just looking for a good time not a lifetime commitment to a partner...
  • hansoyan@xanga

    nope, i think it's super rare when a high school couple last because during college, everyone separates and changes..
  • Katja88@xanga

    @xx_ng_xx@xanga - I'm hoping the same for mine

  • wachamakulit@xanga

    Well Ive been dating my bf for 4 1/2 yrs since 10th grade and were now into our 3rd year of college. Weve been through rocky parts of our relationship like every other non perfect couple, but he's the only person I can see myself with. I just feel like I'll never get anything better than him, loyal, sweet, intelligent, driven.  Im not the kind of person either to have to "date" around for experience. Its not just for me. You will rarely find a good catch and when u do you shouldnt take it for granted.


    Im hoping mine works out till the end bc he's my best friend too. I do get discouraged sometimes when we have break ups and people do tell me that if it didnt work out once it can never work but its really up to the couple to willingly take control of where the relationship is headed to. If you love each other  then to hell with people's opinions. You dont always have to listen to what people tell you
  • kittykaser@xanga

    I think they can. I've been with my bf for over 2 months. I know it doesn't sound that long, but we respect each other. I do think they can work out... as long as they respect and know each other as if it was like the back of their hand (does that make sense???)
  • curiousxpolie@xanga

    It is possible to be "high school sweethearts".

  • mywordsx@xanga

    It can work out, but most of them probably won't.
  • bass_chick57@lovelyish

    I'd say it depends on the couple.
    I dated a guy for two years in high school; he seemed to be head over heels- he even proposed to me! He kept talking about how we were going to make it and how great our future would be. as soon as he went to college (he was 2 years older than me,) apparently 10 miles apart was too much distance, and he began seeing a girl on the side. Now they're engaged.

    So mine didn't work out, and I hope that no one else has to face the same situation as I did.

    However, it's funny... I realize now that for all the big talking he did about how smart he was, how talented he was, how good he was...  he was actually not smart at all, not talented (just injury and illness prone), and how umm, lame he was. He was actually really needy and depressing and not attractive.

    I've moved onto bigger and better things. :) and I'm only looking back once in a while to laugh.

    I met my husband in 4th grade.
    We started dating when we were 15, and now we're 20, married, and we have a son.
    He's my best friend, and even though I can't stand him sometimes, I still can't imagine my life without him.
    The most important part is being able to grow separately, but still love the person they become.

    my parents got divorced after 32 years. i haven't lost faith in love though - i just believe that no matter what, its always going to be a risk, a bit of struggle for a lot of worth it.
  • leong8815@xanga

    I believe puppy love can last forever. ha, but my ex didnt believe it. 
  • Lil_Firefly_25@xanga

    After high school, it's really hard...
  • Galbsadi@xanga

    It *can* happen, but typically, it does not.

    Of course, in today's world, a single relationship lasting a lifetime seems to be the same...and I know many still hope for that, so...don't give up hope either.

    (That said...I remember the "puppy loves" I would have in HS...and they don't even compare to what I've tasted of love since)
