I was a teenager when I fell for my 1st (and only) Love. We grew apart because we loved but we were just bad for one another. I was a very immature young lady, and now realizing I could have looked past his flaws I really miss him. Don't get me wrong I wouldn't date him again. I just wish I never met him in the past; and met him for the first time today. I have grown and I know I would be close to perfect for him now being in this season of life that I'm currently in. I know I am not the only person who feels this way or close to it.

I'm pretty sure others feel the same. I've wondered myself about how things would have turned out had we only just met in the future. I'm glad it was in the past, however because I learned pretty valuable lessons that I'd really rather not be finding out about later.

I know all too well what you mean. I was 17 and I met my first love. We were so alike it was scary and we really cared about each other a lot. I had the emotional security I needed and everything was great. However, right after high school, we grew apart. We weren't mature enough to take things to the next step. We just simply weren't ready and he wanted to pursue other interests. I took me close to 10 years to forget about him and stop comparing him to other guys I've dated. Sadly enough those other guys I dated never provided the emotional security and the kind of relationship I have had in the past. Although, now I hear he is married with children and I am very happy to hear that he is happy with his family. "It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all."

i, like you met my first love while still a teenager......we even made it as far as to be married the summer before each of us turned 20....then things changed....neither of us had lived away from out families, let alone on our "own" so the stresses of figuring out how to maintain a household added to maintaining a relationship just cause a lot of stress. I also, (with life experience that i have now, and didn't have then) have noticed that people seem to change a LOT on their early 20's.....getting out on your own, finding yourself etc...it is a hard enough thing to do on your own, let alone trying to do it WITH another person.....
if i met my ex now, instead of when i was 16/17 years old...would i date him? actually probably not....as we have both developed our own views and thoughts on life, and they differ a little too much. but if you asked would we be friends and get along? probably.....
