Foo - Do you still hold a torch over your first love?

I went to my class reunion and saw my first girlfriend. Geez, I thought I was over her.

It's said that you never forget or get over your first love. In my case, I guess it's true. :(

My first love. Hmmm. Nope can't remember.

Hate to admit it, but I do.....

Not at all. Staying with him as long as I did was one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made romantically.

Wow, my first love? I fell big time. My heart was like fertile ground ready to grow. She was wonderful. Afterwards, the fertile ground became more claylike. :rolleyes:

Pfft. Yeah right. :rolleyes:

But he has regrets and every once in a while finds me. And I tell him the same thing every time:

NO!!!! :mad:

I saw my first love a couple months ago. No candle burning there. He still calls/sends me a text every now and then.

Nope!

I've considered holding a torch over my first love....

Hell yeah, I love myself.

I've considered holding a torch over my first love....

You mean under.

Nope. Married him and divorced. End of story.

Yea, I do.

My first girlfriend and I are still friends, but there's no romantic interest. It wasn't always a pleasant relationship after breaking up, but after a few years of growing up, we've been good platonic friends ever since.

I think the husband of the first girl I actually loved would shoot me on sight. That really puts a damper on things.

I don't do the whole "love" thing so I don't know what the big deal is.

Would I want to be with him? No way. Could he still make my toes curl with a look and a few words? Absolutely.

This lady at work said the reason her toes curled was because she forgot to take off her pantyhose before hand....

:eek:

I don't do the whole "love" thing so I don't know what the big deal is.

:eek: But you just said...! I'm breaking up with you.

I don't think anyone ever "gets over" their first "true love." For guys, I don't think most people ever feel the same way about anyone beczause they dont let themselves get that close again

nope, biggest waste of my time, but she was easy on the eyes....

:eek: But you just said...! I'm breaking up with you.

WOO HOO! Yep! He says one thing and then plays it off. Good for you, April! HIGH FIVE!! *slap!* :D

Mirona? That'll learn ya! *shakes finger at you*

Mirona? That'll learn ya! *shakes finger at you*

Heh... maybe he's just mad that I didn't verbally return the love. Mirona, I'm sorry! I want you back! I loooove youuuuu!!!

Wusses. Both of you. :rolleyes:

My first was definitely a hottie...and definitely a ****....so, no.

love doesn't exist.

love doesn't exist.

That sounds like a yes to the OP's question.

:roflmao:

Is she still available and what's her number? :)

Not interested.

Guess we needs to takes ourselves a moment here and consider what we mean by "first love."

First infatuation?

First lover?

First real love...?

I got over my first infatuation. Very easily. I forgot my first sexual lover (he did not understand the concept of foreplay :mad:).

I also got over my first real love when I had him come visit for a weekend (my husband was in Europe and knew about it and approved because he trusted me). We (my first love and I) found that we were still able to talk like close friends as before, but that we'd both changed very much in 13 years, and we just weren't the same two people anymore. To this day, we are still friends, and he (and his second wife) were very supportive of me following my husband's death.

As regards, sex: I suspect that men are more likely to remember with some wistfulness their first "love" than are women, who often repress the rather sad and uneventful experience. ;)

Is she still available and what's her number? :)

Not interested.


Wow. Rdad is playin' hard to get.......

Wow. Rdad is playin' hard to get.......

Are you calling Rdad a ****? Shame on you, Siu. And Stan, I didn't know you swung for that side.

:p

Her name was Anne and I'll be damned if I recall her face........she left me not knowing what to do..........

I don't think you lose the love but I am sure we are so very different today......I think of her from time to time but I don't think the opposite is true!:(

No.

Many highways....

I remembered my first crush back in middle school -- felt it deeply and painfully years -- because it was unrequited love. It was also filled with regrets and what-ifs -- a girl who showed interest in me for quite awhile, and who I didn't have the balls or life experience to do anything with. By and by she wrote me off, and in the dramatic plight of Bart Simpson in the episode entitled "New Kid on the Block," ripped my heart out and showed it to me before I died. I'm talking for years later I would think I saw her, and to this day still think of her. I finally saw her recently (online) and she was NOTHING like I remembered. It was good for me to see how age had taken a toll on her. It kinda snapped me out of it.

Taken in this context I married my first real love over 25 years ago and still married.


First infatuation, 7th grade . . . first lover, not old enough.

///The Simpsons smartly subverts traditional family sitcom convention, but anyone who thinks the show doesn't have a heart is advised to watch "I Love Lisa" and "New Kid on the Block", two fourth-series gems that absolutely nail the agony and ecstasy of unrequited crushes ("You won't be needing this", a heartbroken Bart fantasises his babysitter saying while dropkicking his heart into a wastebasket in "New Kid")

For anyone out there with unrequited "love" from HS, just hang on patiently 'til the 25th reunion. ;) Heh.

First love?

First love?

Yes. And, again, I posit the same caveat: http://www.bikeforums.net/showpost.php?p=5022960&postcount=32

Nope....I always wondered if I did until last year. I saw her while out with my brother and his girlfriend and my first instinct was to duck and hide. I didn't even want to bother catching up....I was afraid it would take a long time and really didn't care all that much.

No candle at all. Am very happy to have left previous loves/lovers behind.

Yes but it's at a very manageable level. 25 years later she is on hubby #3 and we are still good friends. She may even come out to visit after the holidays. Her current hubby has given her a better life than I could have so it's all good.

If, forty years later, you don't still have warm thoughts about the girl who was your "first love", then she was NOT your "first love".

I had two "first loves". One was the platonic "love" I had for a girl I met in fifth grade...that lasted for five years, and we continued to be friends until I went off for an "all expenses paid" year in Viet-Nam.

And, my second was a less platonic "love" I had for a girl from age 17 to age 22 or so...but she spent that year I was in Viet-Nam auditioning possible replacements for me...things between us were never quite the same after that.

But, even forty years later, I ask mutual friends about how both of those ladies are doing...the fact that both have gone on to have long and happy lives pleases me greatly.

I'm still with her...

ugh...

+1.
My "first love" will always have a special place in my heart. I still think of her some times and I recently ran into old friends of both of ours and asked how she was doing (married to a kid I knew growing up, 2 little girls).

On a side note, they also told me that the first girl I ever kissed (I was 9) died of a rare form of cancer. That sucked.

no, nada, no frickin way...she is dead to me...ala Fredo

Well.......I was head over heels for this one girl in high school. And I think for a while she may have been interested in me too. Of course I never had the balls to do anything. She is in the same city and teaches in the same division as my wife. But a torch...naaaah, some what ifs? maybe. Too much time has passed, not the same people anymore (I know I'm not!!)

Would I want to be with him? No way. Could he still make my toes curl with a look and a few words? Absolutely.What Donna said!
