Puppy love is an informal term for feelings of love between young people, especially during adolescence, so-called for its resemblance to the affection that may be felt towards a puppy dog. See also limerence and infatuation. In general, puppy love refers to an incomplete, immature, or 'false' love compared to 'true' love. Puppy Love does not last very long and varies between ages.
During Elizabethan times, it was known as 'calf-love', as a traditional example is in the famous William Shakespeare play Romeo and Juliet.
