Generally speaking, to be naive means you do not think enough. People who are "naive" tend to believe in whatever they are told, without questioning whether it is right or wrong. As for age, it can be anywhere from 1-100. Anyone who has not lived through and seen enough of this world is generally referred to as naive.

Apr 27 Word of the Day
A horoscope so bad that it strikes fear into the heart of the reader, rendering them unable take action or make a decision on anything or to even leave the house. This is caused by a paralyzing fear that those actions or decisions may cause the predictions to come true.
After reading "There is a lot of uncertainty around financial transactions and investments right now, and the wrong decision could result in dire consequences" in his daily Horrorscope, Edward climbed back into bed, pulled the sheets over his head and remained there for the rest of the day.
Edward only had enough gas in his car to get to the gas station but was not sure if he had enough money in his account to pay for gas. His cell phone service had been cut off because his payments were in arrears, and since the only way he could be sure he had enough money (to pay for gas) would be to call the bank, he felt it best to hide in bed and hope his horoscope for tomorrow was more positive.

A word that is commonly used to negatively refer to a person who is very idealistic and believes in supposed non-existent social constructs such as "soulmates", "true love", "peace on earth" etc.
However, this needs to be reversed as there is nothing wrong with it and those who hate on naive people are just envious their innocence was already brutally shattered by some tragic mishap (i.e. being dumped or cheated on)
People who are naive are not ignorant fools but rather they are people who dare to dream and go against the grain of the all-too-common cynical realist who love playing the role of joy killer
And for the record, the concept of "true love" cannot be disproven either, so some people need to stop preaching like it's not real just because they suck at relationships

Guy 1: Joe is so naive. He thinks he has a soulmate somewhere out there. The poor sap will probably only get his heart broken and end up being like the rest of us
Guy 2: Stop talking like the bitter realist that you are

A naive person is someone with a childish/innocent view of the world. The opposite of a cynic, really.
1. Everyone has some good in them.
2. A stranger is just a friend you haven't met.
These people are naive, because they believe that people like Himmler regret sending all the Jews to the gas chamber, and that people who say you shouldn't go somewhere on your own with a stranger are overreacting.
