The Difference Between Mature and Immature Love

We all remember our first love: whether it was middle school, high school, or even college, it took our breath away and made us feel like we needed the other person with every fiber of our being. It’s a commonly-repeated phrase in young adult novels and romantic movies: “I need you, don’t leave me, I’ll die without you.” Modern pop culture further spreads this idea of love as the opposite of loneliness; characters such as Bella and Edward in Twilight feel like they need each other to survive, and quite literally die or attempt to kill themselves when they think that they have lost the other person’s love.

  1. The Difference Between Mature and Immature Love We all remember our first love: whether it was middle school, high school, or even college, it took our breath away and made us feel like we needed the other person with every fiber of our being. It’s a commonly-repeated phrase in young adult novels and romantic movies: “I need you, don’t leave me, I’ll die without you.” Modern pop culture further spreads this idea of love as the opposite of loneliness; characters such as Bella and Edward in Twilight feel like they need each other to survive, and quite literally die or attempt to kill themselves when they think that they have lost the other person’s love. The problem with this perspective is that love isn’t just one, easily- defined concept; it changes as people grow and develop and experience more of their lives. So consider this: what if the type of love described above isn’t necessarily true love or https://www.thefortworthdatingcompany.com

  2. false love, but just a type of immature love, one that all of us experience when we’re first learning how to love and be loved? As both men and women get older, they mature and find that the type of love they experienced when they were teenagers may not match their feelings anymore. Growing up means that love is not borne out of insecurity, a fear of loss, or a need to fit in and feel accepted; instead, it puts the other person first, and then focuses on the needs of the individual. Mature singles may not realize this at first, which is why many of them are either afraid to date or cling to the same beliefs they had when they were younger, which is that everyone is just looking for a better option, and thus could leave at any moment. Ultimately, the difference is this: Immature love says “I love you because I need you.” Mature love says “I need you because I love you.” Mature singles fall in love based on factors other than their fear of being lonely, and as a result, they are able to form and maintain meaningful relationships with others who feel the same way. Don’t be afraid to look around and see who’s out there; although the type of love you experience may have changed with the times, you’d be surprised to know how many others feel the same way you do. https://www.thefortworthdatingcompany.com
