Finding something annoying in fiction is not the same thing as thinking it's bad for real people to do it. Most teenagers are going to think they're zomg-in-love-forever-and-ever at least once. And you know what? That's okay. Like overactive sebaceous glands and a nearly insatiable appetite, it's one of those really common teenage things.

And the reason that a lot of people find it annoying in fiction is not that the teenage characters believe they will be together forever, but that the narrative also indicates that they actually will be together forever. The problem (for me, at least) is that ficional narratives set up these unrealistic expectations about everyone finding their soulmate at 16, which is both frustrating as an adult reader (because I have a hard time suspending my disbelief and it throws me out of the story) and as someone who has seen how seriously taking that message to heart can fuck up some young adults' expectations about love, romance, and relationships.

I'm the anon from right above you, and just want to say thank you. You've said what I was trying to much more coherently than I managed. I really should just go to sleep rather than spew incoherent replies, but eh.

Ahh, okay. I wasn't thinking about it that way but the way you explain it makes a lot of sense. Thank you!
