I have my first love before 8 years back then. I love the person so much that I cannot forget anything about her. I remember her birthday, how we met, our sweetest moment, our affections and places that we've been through as we're just lovers by that time. Actually, I consider her my First Love because I feel so serious with my feelings to her. Now, we've separated apart and I think she doesn't even know me. I met someone I consider my True Love because for almost several years now, I still feel the same way for the new person even though I'm the one who makes a move to break up with her. I want her back but I don't think if she wants me still. For you, which is the best feeling you've ever felt love, your first love or your true love?

All love is "true", or else it isn't really love. Your first love is often different but special because it's the first...first time to experience that strong emotion. However, that doesn't mean it will be the strongest or best love of your life.

My first love wasn't my true love and that's why my first love didn't last that long.I was with that person for just one year then i realised i don't love him and i broke up with him. I fell in love again after one year with other boy and all i can say is that i'll always love him, he'll always have a place in my heart.

It's depend upon on your feelings. If you feel you still love your first love till many years and you never meet anyone but still you are waiting to her well i can tell it's great. First love really struct our hearts deeply because we also learn from here. The strange feelings unexplained comes first and we cant sleep well. Compare to true love, i can tell its almost the same as first love but it's much deeper than first. Based on my experience for me true love is much best, coz it gives us the reason to live more and and deeper happiness.

every person have their opinion. For me the best is the true love because true love is the best love you can get. Sometime we can forget the first love,but only true love can make we happy. Sorry for my bad english, because i'm from indonesian.

I too have had the opportunity to experience both of these loves in my life and I actually struggle to tell you which of the two loves that I think is the better love. I mean with my first love I had the opportunity to experience a lot of firsts that I didn't have the opportunity to experience with my husband, whom I do consider to be my true love. I think that they are probably both the best loves that we can have in our lives but they are the best for very different reasons.

Thanks for this discussion, true love is love, first love might be just lust.

True love is the best! First love is part of our life. Memories cannot be deleted thru our minds. Maybe that is what we were thinking that made us not forget about our first love. We may think of them but nothing could compare true love.

We have to separate passion from love. I prefer true love because that lasts forever, a long time after passion disappears. With a true love you can look forward to a future together instead of just looking into each other`s eyes.

They're both the same person: yourself---the one you're always coming back home to, the one who's always there when you wake up (and who's usually there in your dreams too). All other relationships are like gifts you give yourself. Family-relationships are a little different---more like gifts you give yourself `coz you need `em (socks, underwear, eyeglasses). But 'outside of family'-relationships: what you love about them is how they make YOU feel & how YOU make them happy.

Firstly, I don't think first love and true love is different for everyone. Some people marry their first sweethearts :). But... for me... true love, definitely. Well, my first love was platonic. It was all teeny bopper love with pink sunglasses and pixie dust... now I know what true love is, and I wouldn't exchange it for anything.

I guess, I would go for my "True Love". I must say that because maybe in some point, my first love did not turn out well. I mean, it did not succeed. Well, maybe because I was the only one who loved him because he's my crush and I was not loved back. lol. My present relationship with boyfriend is so great and I totally agree and claimed that his my true love.

Maybe your first love also became one of your true loves in the past. But you shouldn't bother getting back to them because you have your current true love now and the past is past.

According to me,it is not necessary that our first love can't be our true love sometimes when we meet someone for the first time in our life we fall in love at the first sight, as we all know that. But how many of us get that love actually , I think the numbers would be less than 1% . So when we meet our first love we might fall in true love with them and be ready to lose everything for them. In your case i think this is what has actually happened your true love was actually your first love and so now that she's gone you can't stop thinking about her, which itself signifies that it was and it is 'True Love' indeed.

I fell in love only once but it was for a lifetime. I married my first and only boyfriend! To answer your question, I think, whether a girl is your first love or not, the best feeling comes from loving someone and being loved in return. The best feeling comes from the twinkle of her eyes everytime you tell her you love her, from her smiles everytime you do something for her however menial, from the way she encourage you or support you or boost you up when you feel down. The best feeling of being In love comes from the mutual feeling of love and respect between you and your loved one, it doesn't matter if she's your first love or your true love.

either both can't make a choice on this topic, i had a question in mind, what if your first love is your true love? but when i comes to excitement, i choose the first love, this is the time that i don't have any idea on to handle the thing called love, there is mixed emotions, adjustment time, and lot more kind of emotion. Anyway we are not new on love, actually my first love is my parents. But loving a person not your blood line is different.

In my opinion it's true love that lasts long.But also there is also a saying that thr first love will be the one you will find it hard to forget as that is the only true love that one will have in his/her life. Anyway I am also going through such a situation. Therefore I can say that first love is really really the true love. Now it's almost one year that we broke up and still I can't forget her.In fact I don't want to forget here.

First, past, current, true or fling, i think the important part is you continue to feel love and be loved. Everything changes with time and the part of you that you should sustain is to have a clear understanding of how you feel, what makes happy and complete as a person, and to keep on loving.

hello borgieboy7! I think the question here is how would you know if it is true love or first love? Could they be the same in some aspect? True love is loving the person for all that he is beyond imperfections. It is like taking your own desires on a back seat and care more for what makes him or her happy. I see first love the same way with the second, the third and so on. What's in a number anyway. That is somewhat confusing now, isn't it?

Putting all other stories aside, the answer to the topic itself is clear enough, 'true love' is much better. Why? Because it is 'true' and when things are true, they last.
