Do you believe in love? Why or why not?

I believe love exists. 

I'm sorry your parents aren't the best with having or showing love. 

I have personally gone through toxic relationships time and time again, with only one turning out well, and even that ended. I've had a pretty rough end when it comes to that, but I still believe love exists. It's hard to find, especially at our ages, but it's around. You just need to find someone who's right, and let love come naturally, not trying to rush it or anything. 

If you've had alot of relationships end up feeling like you're doing all the giving, or they are just getting whay they want without really doing much for you, I'd try to communicate at the beginning, or just in general that you'd like an equal exchange in the relationship. I know I've had tons where I felt like I was the only one giving affection or care. 

I hope you're able to find the love you truly deserve 🫶

I don't know I don't know... I also thought about it a lot recently.

As a girl, when I have a crush on someone, I have tend to have real feelings for them then, and really love them.

But idk how it works for guys. Especially since I'm a teen, I'm 14.

Can I expect a 14 y.o. boy to have genuine love feelings for me ?

I don't know what boys want at this age. I'm not the typa girl who wants to be in a relationship just to be in a relationship. That's why I rejected all the boys who asked me out. I want to be with someone I love, and that loves me back as much as I do love them.

But when I'm looking for real feelings, I don't know if boys are looking for that too. All I know is that most of them see girls as a conquest, and just wanna do couple stuff.

I read a book about boys and for boys, and it said smtg like "there's a girl that you find pretty, that you like and that you'd want to date ? Ask her" and I was kinda shocked because I'm looking for love while boys are just like "she's pretty, Imma ask her".

I think I'm expecting too much, especially for my age. But I want to experiment a teenage love so bad and I'm afraid I'll never be able to, at least not with a boy.

But my question is, can boys genuinely experiment love ? And at least before they're 21 ? Or will them always see a girl as a pretty thing they wanna go out with ?

I love a boy, who told me he likes me too. He's a bit like me, wich means he doesn't wanna be in a relationship just to be in a relationship. We both see a gf/bf as like a "premium friend", with complicity, trust, etc.  But to be a premium friend you have to be friends first ? We aren't really friends because we're both shy asf and barely ever talk. (We're not dating btw) And idk what to think, I want him to really like me but I'm not sure what I should be expecting from a not even 15 y.o. boy. (Please go see my post I did a few minutes ago in this forum, I explain the situation a bit better).

Thanks to whoever'll respond to me lol, and sorry if that was kinda random
