Is Age Just A Number at my age, Am I in love?

Im 15, and recently I have been on a holiday in Italy.
I became really attracted to one of the waitresses in the Hotel I was at. I called her beautiful meaning it.Later we talked a bit but me being english and her being italian we were not on the same channel.One day I asked her where she was from because she spoke different Italian to some other people i had met, she told me straight away she was from Albania.
That didn't put me off, and each day I looked forward to seeing her at lunch and dinner etc. Before I was leaving i bought her a present. She came up to me later on and told me that it was beautiful and thanks you very much for it.I then asked how old she was and she was 28. I was shocked me being 15. That night she wispered to me whilst serving "You are beautiful aswell" The next day it was time to go and after kissing me on the cheek with others i saw her later tidying up and kissed her properly on the lips with a proper goodbye.I went home the next day crying missing her.

Im from the UK, but I see her once a year hopefuly she will be there again, but I know I have to move on because of how long I see her for, but I feel so upset and depressed trying to move on, I just remember her and how happy i felt talking to her or joking with her.

Well since you were in another country I suppose she didn't care how young you were. You are a quite young to be going after a 28 year old but hey you know I've liked older women when I was 15 also. I would say you really liked her a lot but not loved her. Since she lives in Italy there is nothing more you can do but I suggest you move on and start talking to girls closer to you. Later on you will meet someone else and not feel so bad anymore. By the way since your 15 stick to girls under 18 for now because of the law but when you are 18 feel free to hook up with as many older women as you please.

sure it is love
just a "Starter" kinda love.
This is be a part of your heart for a lifetime.
Take all the Good and build on it and learn from all the Bad.
Be wise and consult an older person that will cherish this experience with you, and help guide you through this "crazy time" of your life. Believe me...it will only be crazier for the next 10 years, so be wise yourself and accept that you need that time to be "the man" that you will be and until then be a "wise" young man and make good choices in your life.

Best wishes.

Well, seeing as how she's halfway across the world and 13 years older than you, I wouldn't exactly get my hopes up, but anything can happen! I don't know if you live in the U.S. or not, but if you do and she came here looking for you and the two of you started dating, it would be considered illegal. My advice to you is to just cherish your time in Italy and keep in touch with this waitress. Later on down the line, if you two still have a romantic connection, I say go for it!

Age is just a number and you should not let that keep you from real love but you are far away from her and you'll probably never see her again. but thats ok and you should not think of her every day because the longer you cry the more other girls are being taken so go out ight now and find another perfect girl.

a woman 13 years older than you? you're not in love. and age is just a number, but that's a little drastic. it's just your hormones. focus on developing yourself as a person, work on relationships with your friends and family. she's far much more along on the maturity timeline, so just wait it out. seriously... it wouldn't get anywhere good.

Wow - how wonderful for you! If you really wanted to know, I wouldn't say you're "in love" because there are still lots of details about her that you don't know. But hey, I wasn't there and I wasn't feeling it, so how would I know? That sounds like a wonderful experience that you'll remember for the rest of your life! :D

That sounds really sweet. Too bad she's 28 and all the way over there in Italy. One day you'll meet someone more appropriate for you and you'll make a nice couple. Don't rush love though. You've got plenty of time to develop who you are. Let time take it's course when it comes to giving away your heart. Trust. ';-)

well i dont kno itd be different if it was a 15 year old girl and a 28 year old guy. all i kno is that im 17 and my boyfriend is 17 and that already kinda trips me out. she probably thinks you're cute or whatnot but im not sure if shed take u seriously. but then again anythings possible :)

WOW, that is quite a vacation. Of course you could have loved her. Humans love humans, and just because your 15 doesn't mean your interests could not attract you to her. Now, even though it is rare for this to happen, you obviously made a real connection.

I believe it was a crush..nothing more. In my opinion, you were not around her long enough to fall 'in-love'. You're not fully grown..not quite a man and she is too old for you. Sorry. You'll get over her and eventually find someone your own age.

There isn't an age limit to being in love, to be honest. You can be in love at any age, it's just up to whether or not you KNOW you're in love, or if it's just lust.

sadly at your age, age isnt just a number. you are legally a minor and she is legally an adult. but i do understand where you are coming from. if you can, talk to her whenever you can on the phone, that'll probably cheer you up

u r in love but i don't think she was. You r a little to young to be thinking about someone from a different place
without fully knowing them.
try meeting someone in your own country and see what happends.

go for it, go for it
it's all good, she might even teach you some things
my previous experience
i was 16 she was 27
you are not looking for a long term relationship here just have fun but use protection

You are a American of course she likes you! That green card is priceless.
You are a kid, be a kid you will be a grown up for a long time, enjoy it while you still can.....lust and love are two things.

Age should never matter. But long distance relationships like that most of the time do not work. I hope you know how to speak Italian.

you will always have italy... and something lovely to remember it by
i dont think age will matter as much as distance

She is crazy! Nobody that age would date a 15 year old unless there were something wrong with them mentally.

awwww someones got a little crush.

You are to young to be in love. My you have not even gone trough pruperty. Wait and be slow to give your heart away. I know.
Peace

Yes, sure, the love hasn't got age.

Age is just a number. In your case, it's called child molestation!

Age is just a number. But you will probably never see her agin so does it mater?

thats sad story, why didnt you get ur email and phone number?!? you should have had sex with her

if shes 28 and ur 15..then itd be illegal for her to date you anyways. creepy! she shouldnt be hitting on 15 year olds anyways

Awww, it's a crush! She's too old for you, I'm sure she was just being nice :)

oh wow...

i feel so bad for you :(
im sorry you had to leave.

but i dont think that was love

but guess what... right now... your age is just a number

age is just a number

At your age...that's just a little too much.

gay.....

sure
