Ah you never really know that early.

I don't think you're too young. I went out with my first boyfriend at 16 and I can still say now (Even though we broke up after 2 years) it was definitely love.

Yes I think you are too young as you are acting very immature by saying that going one day without him "hurts". That is way too OTT and intense OP, it sounds more like infatuation. When you're a few years older, you'll see it for what it is. 16 is not too young to know if you love somebody but what you are describing is not right - when you are not with him it hurts and you are not yourself. You should not be defined by the boy you are with, OP and you should not allow this relationship to have that much power over you.

Yes of course you'll miss someone if you don't see them that day, but not that it actually PAINS you. Sounds like you are far too dependent on him for your own good which is not a good thing.

Don't think I'm patronising you, but I wasted a lot of my teen years being hopelessly and dramatically in love with guys, when quite frankly I could have been off having fun.

You're never going to be as young and free as you are now, don't waste it

I more or less permanently had a boyfriend from the age of 16 through to 25 (4 different relationships), and Id like to go back to my young self and whisper in her ear that it was more fun to be single or at least not so dramatically involved.

This business of it hurting when you dont see him for a day is just hormones gone nuts, full of infatuation - Im not talking down at all, I went through it myself, but its only when you get older you can look back and see it.

However, young love is also great fun, but its important to balance that kind of fun with your own friends and your own activities and not get so wrapped up in it that youre in pain from not seeing him.

Good luck and have fun!

Is 16 too young, no it's not, are you in love with this guy, that's not for us to say and only something you can answer yourself. I think time will tell, but you're only 16 so don't take things too seriously or become too dependent on this guy while ditching everyone else.

you are not too young to feel love but being 16 you need to make sure you keep your independence and make your own decisions in the relationship. I see an awful lot of teenagers use the word 'love' much too often, l hope yours is the real thing and not just a word you use flippantly. Good luck in your relationship.

It probably is love, but its called puppy love, and it does feel amazing/terrible!!
Been there myself at your age, and even though we lasted for a few years, it ended during our college years, as evidently, does most other teenage relationships.
Dont let that stop you, i wouldnt of changed my experience for the world
