Young love

1. The love of two young people, embodying many elements such as innocence, naivety, secrecy, and intense overpowering emotions. Those involved may feel totally consumed in it, unable to think further than their love, or are subconciously "blinded" by it. They may believe it to be more than it is, simply because they cannot see beyond their affection for their lover (partner, chosen one etc). This is a completely genuine and entirely possible emotion to feel for someone at a young age. 2. Also a phrase used by adults in a slightly patronizing way when they see a couple younger than them.
