Do you ever really get over your "first love"?

In my opinion, no I never got over my first love, actually I just posted a discussion! My first love had his engagement in the paper and although I am married it still hurt some, and yeah it kind of bothered me. I still have his pictures and such in a book from the past. So I dont think you get over your first love, you just learn how to live without them.

thats a very true point, ive been with my partner for 10 years now and even tho im happy, i still from time to time think back to the old days where i hmet my 1st love and the things we did then, its nothing to do with not forgetting ur 1st love, but instead, its a lesson well taught, u can only learn through mistakes or other poeples mistakes that effect u, and learn from it, thats what makes you a better person.

I think its more of knowing that you did almost all the "first" with your first love that makes it memorable. People differs in handling the lost of a first love. To some its easy to get over and yet to most it is difficult. But I one thing I am sure of, the "first love" is not the type you would ever forget.

I dont think you ever really get over your first love at least for me i have never been able to forget. I also from time to time think about what we had and what went wrong but I love my husband now in fact he and my first are a lot alike in there tender careing ways,he is gone but not forgotten.

i guess it depends on the person and to the people he/she meets in life. In my case im still in love with my first love, well i'm still young and might still be able to meet a lot of men, and i really hope i'll get over him soon. i don't even know why i love him so much, we've never been officially a couple but we were good friends. i somehow felt that he had feelings for me too because all my friends even his friends tell me that i always get special treatment from him but he had never admitted any feelings.i don't know if he has just different priorities or im just not his type of girl. the sad thing is we started out as good friends but now we barely talk with each other.. or better said we don't talk at all besides the occassional hi and hello.. and he used to call me even for the silliest things.. i hate the fact that i love him and im doing everything just to forget him...

It is tough to get over your first love. Personally, I had a hard time forgetting him. Even if I had a new boyfriend. I use to miss him a lot, especially when I'm reminded of something...but now...I can say that I've totally moved on, thanks to my current boyfriend.

My first love is my first crush too, my first heartache and my first struggle when it comes to the matters of the heart. He is the very person I love that much. I was not able to forget him no matter how I tried until I accepted the fact that I can never forget him. The memories with him just make me smile. I have learned my lessons as he have learned his lessons too. I still love him and I have learned to live without him. I am now married to my husband for more than a decade, a man who loves me somehow. I sometimes miss my first love but I don't have that longing to be with him anymore as before. I sometimes wake in the middle of my sleep after dreaming of him. I have learned to ride with the tide and swim the tide without drowning myself. I can handle myself now. I think we have people in our lives who we can never forget and the number candidate for it is our first love.
