First love?

[hater13]

I was just wondering, how long did it take for you to get over your first love?

 

I'm still in the process...

I remember it took me over a year. We rarely talked during the year after we broke up but she eventually came around and wanted to be friends. Our situation was different than most though ; she realized she was a lesbian and she had to explore that. We still talk almost every day.

I got over my first love while we were still together. I dragged our relationship but I had lost interest in her roughly 4-5 months before we broke up. Once we were broken up, I disappeared 2 weeks after, and haven't looked back since.

7 weeks and counting...

Its been a year, I consider myself for the most part over her....I figure once I find the next one, and the relationship gets serious I will be completely over the ex...

1st love, with him for five years, treated badly and cheated on, loved him so much, hung around for far too long, then one day I just woke up and didn't love him anymore. I ended it and he cried his heart out, don't think I even cried. lol

 

Just the way it went.

 

Still see him about now, know he regrets it always. Still care about him though, if anything was to happen to him, I would be upset, but totally no "in-love/boyfriend feelings" there

I don't know... I love intensely, so their all like first loves and tough to get over.

Oh the first love...dont think I've ever really got over him and it was 7 years ago. Dont get me wrong I dont sit and pine over him any longer. I barely think about him anymore from one day to the next. He is married with a child now whilst I am not but he was the love of my life. Ive never loved anyone like that since. Maybe because he was the first one I experience that sort of love with it was kinda different. When I think of him from time to time I still miss him. I always will. I haven't seen him in 7 years either. Life moves on though.

Still in the process, hurts like hell.

 

I'm 36 as well, who says I'm a late developer?

My first love and I dated for about 5 months. Took about 3 months to really move on and keep her out of my life. Out of my life for the better.

I don't think people ever get over their first loves. Afterall, they were the ones that made you feel love, and that's no easy thing. Because of that, no matter how bad they might have been, they shouldn't be forgotten because they helped shape who you are.

 

But you have to remember that they are just the FIRST loves. After first comes second, and third, and so on. Everyone can love again, they just have to let themselves. And when you find someone that loves you the way you love them, well...isn't that what life is about?

9 months really.

It's been 15 years since me and my first love broke up. We were highschool sweet hearts...I was a sophmore...he was a senior. I went to his prom. He went to mine. We dated until i went to college. When I looked into his eyes...I feel like I've known him for all of eternity...yes I believe that we were true soul mates. He was good to me in every way...even though we were young, our relationships was so much more mature than the ones I had in my adulthood. During one of our fights, I made an indelible mistake that I could never take back. The guilt consumed me. ( Think of what Ross did to Rachel in friends and that's what happened)...Since then I have dated many many many guys...but in my dreams...I would only dream about ONE guy. So the truth is, even after 15 years....I don't think that I'm truly over him. I'm ON ENA about another guy--who recently broke my heart. But I know that I will get over him...I've already gone through the worst...and that was my breakup with my first love. I don't pine over him or think about him of course...but subconsciously I must not be over him because I still dream about him
