First Love.--"The One"

December 26, 2007 7:31pm CST
I am 22 years old and I have only ever been in one relationship in my whole life, we are still together going on 2 yrs next month, and he is my 1st...everything! This just seems so rare, is it a good thing? My Grandfather always says I have nothing to compare him too, and should date different guys to gain different experiences, but I see no point in that when I know I have everything I want in him and we are planning our future together, he is "The One". Are you still with your first love? Want to share a story about your first love, or love in general? This is the spot to talk about all of that. How did you know the person you are with was...."The One"?

I have to agree with your grandfather. You won't know if he's the one if you have no one to compare him to.

I wish I were still with my first love. I had dated a few guys before him but never considered them by boyfriend, he was my first boyfriend. I met him when I was 20. We were together for four years. I broke up with him because I felt I needed to see what else was out there. Breaking up with him was the biggest regret in my life. He was a great guy. I tried to get back together with him a few years later but it was too late. I have had relationships since him but he's the only one I really love.

That was another question I was going to ask, once you have been with your 1st great love...are any relationships after that ever really the same?

But other people I have told my sob story to have told me it won't be the same of course that makes sense. They're different people and you won't love them the same as the first.

i have had 2 boyfriends. i know i felt love when i was with them, and cared for them the best way i know. Funny looking back and how we broke up and all - my very own doing and my own prerogative. I couldn't be any happier now that i am not with them anymore. Maybe because we are not meant to be, i never felt that we are for each other. no spark, no connection, no love that keeps me awake all night thinking of him, no daydreaming of joining our names together... those littles things that just by thinking of them will make you smile... Maybe i have yet to find the perfect match of my heart. someone who could make me feel butterflies in my stomach, someone i will cry for with swelling eyes and just by his smile i feel all better... i want to be able to find that person i will watch sleeping everyday for the rest of my life... someone to grow old with.

I am marrying my first love in 2 years, we have been together for 4 years since we were 17/18 and although i had other relationships he was my first serious and I his. People say similar things to us but at the end of the day if you feel it then you have to stop listening to others, they should be supporting you if you feel you've found the one. My fiance moved to London to be with me in my 2nd year of Uni and we have been happy ever since. Its rare but it happens, go for it!!

Love is a great feeling which has to be expressed. If you find it true, never fail to convey, thats a tribute to the love in real.
