How Old Were You When You Had Your First Heart Break

I guess my first real heart break was when I was in 7th grade. I must have been about 12 years old. I really, really, really liked a guy named Oliver. He was my boyfriend for exactly one month. He cheated on me with another girl and I broke up with him. It was really my fault that he cheated. I was so shy around him. He kept asking me to go places with him, but I was too scared. So, eventually, he turned to someone else. I remained friends with him and every time I saw him - all the way through to my high school graduation, I would get butterflies in my stomach. For some reason, he really struck a cord in me. He was the first guy I ever cried over!

I guess I would say nearly 14. I had it coming though. I was seeing this boy, but I broke up with him twice an got back together with him. The third time around he broke up with me, so I guess I had it coming, that was the end of it. I guess in my young naive mind I always thought he would always be there waiting for me no matter what I did to him. I deserved to get my heart broken and it taught me a lesson, a lesson I needed to learn. I am lucky I learned early on.

i was 13... i think.... major crush on my best friend's cousin who doesn't even notice me and treats me as a friend and nothing else... ouch! i got over it... obviously.

I was 19 when the love of my life (at the time) moved to Colorado.
