First Loves

How long did it take you to get over your first love? And did you ever think that you were over them but then the next time you meet him/her the feelings all of a sudden come flooding back?

And I'm curious, how does your first love compare to your current love? Is it the same or is it better? Is it more special?

I went out with this girl for about a year, and she was my first love. It took me about 3 days after she broke up with me to figure out she was no good for me. It then took me about 3 months to start moving on. About six months later, I was with another girl, and there were no more reprecussions.

I've fallen in love once again, and it's definitely more special than the first.

Your first love never really dies. I still can't forget about her, even though she hurt me ALOT. You can't ever do it over, just do it different.

My first love...I was 16, he was my first boyfriend and the first boy I'd actually fallen in love with. We were together for 3 months lol It took me close to 2 months to realize that waiting for him to come back to me wasn't working and he didn't want me anymore :P 6 months after we broke up I started dating someone else, I wasn't really ready since I wasn't completely over my first love. It took me almost a year and a half to completely let go :P He was no good for me and I knew that but you never do really get over your first love. It's always with you and always going to be a part of you no matter how it ended.

I'm still with the wonderful man that I started dating 6 months after all that and you know, I've learned that I only thought I knew what love was back then lol What I have with him is so much stronger and more pure and dependable, it's withstood a lot of storms and we're still going strong. This love is definitely much stronger and I'd never go back but those old feelings are still there a bit, you'll always carry the memories of the first time you fell in love with you no matter how much love you afterwards.

My belief: If you truly love, or loved, someone I don't think you could ever truly "get over" them. You could only let go of them, move on from them and learn to share your love again.

I personally don't know what it's like or how long it takes to "get over" your first love. My first love, not to mention my first boyfriend, my first relationship and my first--everything--is with the very man that I've been with for 4 years. Our love and commitment to each other and our relationship only grows stronger with each and every beautiful day we spend together. He is the one I'd been saving myself for and the one I plan to spend the rest of my life with. If something were to ever happen to him or happen to us (God forbid), my love for him will never fade. Even if he just becomes a friend or is no longer in my life, the influence he had on me would be treasured and always remembered. :)

I suppose it was my first relationship, which happened to be my past one. we dated for eight months and then ended this past August. am I emotionally wounded because of it? no, I am healing and moving on. did I care for him deeply? yes, and I still do...I wish him nothing but happiness. we had a strong bond, and were comitted to each other for a good six months of our relationship. that is why I think he was my first love.

however, to some people...that is just another "teenage relationship." oh well, it's over and done with. he was just the start of my love life...I am excited to see what else(including other things besides love) is down the road for me. and hanging onto him won't really help me move on.

I thought i was over her for about two months. We dated other people but broke up with them because we still want eachother even if we try not to.

Now we back together...

Other people i loved cant compare to my first love because she was the first to make me feel this way but that can change

My first love does not compare to my current love. That is why she is not my current love <lol>. I believe that my current relationship is much better than the one I had with my first. We have been together for 8 months and it feels like I could do this forever. Yuss<----voice of Kip from Napoleon Dynamite.

Hmm, thanks everyone for answering. I guess it varies from person to person how they feel towards their first love.

I dated my first love for about a year and a half, we've been separated for about two and a half months, and although I tell myself and others that I'm completely over him and he means nothing to me, I still get hurt, upset, and sometimes teary-eyed when I see his MySpace pictures of him kissing his new, prettier, skinnier, and all-around better girlfriend.

Well, my first love's gf is not all that pretty and not all that better than me hahah :P

You probably are prettier than her! And I bet he still thinks about you too! But whatever, you can do betterrr or you already have done better ;P

Hmm my first love was actually very hard to get over..it took almost a year. and for the first year after we broke up and I would see him the feelings came flooding back...

But now its been 2 years since then and im with my current love..and it feels so much better..im happier and ive felt a whole nother way..it is a little more special to me because i now know what the worth of loving someone is and how much the heartbreak hurts so i learned from it and this relationship for me is wayy more special.

Thanks RiCEBUNNY, I know I can do better, although I haven't yet. The more I think about it, the more I realize how completely opposite we were, and how I wasn't really happy all of the time. I guess what hurts most is remembering everything we had been through before, and it was all a waste.

Haha I don't think that true love stays forever. Of it is I'm screwed cuz I'm pretty sure I had a true love and the only reason it wouldn't work was because the distance but evn then it was like he never left beacause we talked 24/8. But I desided that maybe it's not true love and fell in love with somone else. It took me about a year to get over my first love. You'll always remember your first love and it's nothing like your second because you can love people differently or at least that's what I beleive.

My first love, This takes me back.

We went out for 4 years, in total. I took me so long to get over her. And because it was my first love i compared every single about relationships, back to my first. The day we broke i can remember it like it was yesterday. But it didnt hit me until about 2days later. That i would never(possibily) be with her ever again.
All the parties that I dodged because she would attend, not wanting that umcomfortable silence, recently broken up couples always have.

But It wasnt so much the uncomfortable silence that wouldnt attract me to meeting up with her. It was the fact that I wasnt that lad holding her hand, I wasnt the lad holding her bag while she got her phone out etc.

After about 6months, I was at a party. And i saw her across the room. And when i actually chatted to her because i hadnt as mad feeling back then. I just chatted to her like a would to a friend. And chatted for the whole night. Not about relationship but everything else. and because i had that effort. and for the last 2years. she's been my best friend.

I was going out with a girl for about 5months last year, or should i say 2years now (2008) and she despised any "first love". To the extent she broke it off with me.

She's now my best friend. we can finish our sentences. I loved her when we were going out & I still Love here now, but in a different way

I could say that first love is the best, because that is the first time you fall inlove and share the first memories having a partner. i could say that my first love is not like my second love, because i feel more love than the second because i know how to handle it properly and seriously... but there is a saying here in our country that "first love never dies..." and i believe in that...
