do you have a first love? i had my first love when i was 16. yeah i know its puppy love, but i cant forget how much emotion i felt that time! it was really intense and i really cried ocean then!^__^ its been almost 10 years and we dont have any communication. the last thing i heard was he was working with a non-government agency that has something to do with microfinance. what about you? do you have a first love? where is he/she right now?

I was 16 and we were together for three years. I still talk to him on occasion, see him if we are in the same state. We're still good friends.

really? thats amazing. i think its kinda rare that ex-lovers remain good friends after what happened to them. its nice that you're still friends with him. me and my first lovers are not. we didnt end up that nice. ^__^

I literally grew up with my first love across the street from me. For a few years I hung around with her brother and didn't have too much interest in her. So I thought. When I was 14 and her 13 I began to notice her more. Like you said puppy love. I'd walk with her to school but usually walked home with my buddies. We giggled and teased for about a year and a half until my 16th birthday. That's when after my party we went outside and just as she was crossing the street to go home, she came back and kissed me on the cheek. That was a big step for us because we hung out with totally different crowds. Let's just say I hung around a crowd her parents didn't approve of, at all. We got quite a bit closer over the next several months until her father found out and that was pretty much it. Except for talking to her until late at night either sitting at the street corner or if I was laying on the hood of her father's car late at night. He would usually come out and chase me back across the street. As much as we wanted it to be it wasn't going to happen. We started dating other people and after I graduated high school I moved away to college. I am sick to my heart that I never went back for her. To the best of my knowledge she's married with a child or two and the worst part is I found out she lives about 3 states west from me. Her name is Maryjo. That is a name forever burned on my heart. Just thinking about her at this moment chokes me up. I brought this up briefly in one of my discussions about religion being a factor in determining who you may end up with. ‹(°¿°)›

It's been too many years and we both have our own lives. I would never think of contacting her now. From time to time I'll think of her and either smile from ear to ear or get a bit choked up at what might have been. Though I didn't mention her specifically in my discussion about religious differences keeping people from getting married. It was our story I was referring to. Her parents would have never stood for us getting married. Considering we were still very young, it was doomed from the start. Celui qui soit soyez, (whatever will be will be) best translation I can give from French. ‹(°¿°)›

awww... that's so sad. its really hard to forget our first love right? i remember a lot of things too about my first love, our memories then. but lucky me unlike you, it doesnt make me sad anymore. in fact, i just laugh at it every now and then. how sad.. it seems you still feel something for her.. how many years had it been already? i think you're not just meant for each other.

Oh, so its a religious issue. I find it really ridiculous that religion sometimes become an issue between partners. HOw come religion, which i think is always "pro-love", can become a hindrance to love? its absurd. that's hard to pronounce! "que sera sera" is much easier. means the same thing. ^__^

Gee, I don't know where he's at. He was a good looking guy. However, he cheated on me, so he turned out to be quite a jerk. lol I last heard that he married the girl, he cheated on me with, and they had several kids, and he was cheating on her. Guess she was a lucky girl. lol

well.. some people still agree with me fo not being married yet and for enjoying my single life, but there are a few who feels that I am getting "left out" and I'm not getting any younger according to them and they are scaring me with the thought that if I "postpone" having a child on a late age, when the kid grow up, I will look like his/her grandmother and not a mother. LOL they have a point but what can I do? I don't have a bf (by choice) and I'm still enjoying having no responsibility. ^__^ I do plan to get married and have a baby but not now. i'll come to that eventually. ^__^

Hello secretbear!(",) This topic of your is very intriguing. I'm guilty of reading other mylotters responses and I did enjoy it very much. I'm sorry I have nothing to share about this topic because I don't have experience anything I can consider first love. It's good that others are still friends with their first love even if they have not ended up with each other. Just enjoy reminiscing those happy moments together and leave the hurts written in the sand where it will be washed away. Great day!(",)

that's just so sad mark. i guess she didnt had the same feelings that she had way back. maybe she had found a new love. i've encountered people saying that comedians also harbor a lot of sadness and frustrations in life and they just cover it by making jokes and by making other people laugh. but i think you just havent found the right one for you so cheer up. ^__^ you'll find the one for you in the future.

I thought I was in Love in High school, she eventually wouldn't see me, Two years ago I found her in Classmates. com, we wrote for 1 month and decide to meet, I spent three hours talking to her, because it had been 30 yrs. I felt embassed, I gain weight, I was so slim in the 70's. I didn't know she was so short, she eventually didn't write me, so I gave up, I guess I was wrong about trying to go back to my past, time for me to move on, reinvent my self, find something else to do with my life, I guess that is why I turned to Stand Up Comedy, it's all those times of rejection, people can relate to and laugh, because it didn't hurt them, they see me as vernable, and feel good that it wasn't them that got hurt.

hiii secretbear, i am glad that you actually got over the pain of leaving your first love.but i would say i am lucky enough that i didn't face any such situation till now and hope not to either.initially i was very dumb kind of person,so i hadn't any boyfriends at that time.even if anybody shows some sign of getting into relationships with me i ignore.i was more concentrated on my studies. i had my first love,and last also,when i was 20.though it wasn't from my side but gradually i developed a liking for him due to his caring attitude and behaviour towards me.and still i am continuing with my relationship.its been 3 long years.we had our engagement recently 2 months back and i am going to marry him soon.thats my story.a bit silly and funny.lol...

that's not a silly story, its sweet! ^__^ I think you're a late bloomer that's why you only fell in love at the age of 20. and I know you're a very responsible women so you put your studies first as your top priority and only gave love a time when you got "older". I am happy for you rinku! best wishes and good luck to both of you!

Yes I had my first love, unfortunately we broke up almost three months ago, I also cried ocean for him I never done that before with my other ex bf, there are still days and nights that I cried for him. But I know even if he's my first love I have to accept the reality that my first love will never be mine forever and that I can't spend the rest of my life with him. I dont know where he is now. But wherever he is I'm hoping that everything is doing great for him.

I was 14 when I met my first love and we dated all through high school and broke up the summer before i went off to college. He didn't finish high school and last I knew he had spent a few years in prison on and off while I graduated college. He was a sweetheart, but he just couldn't stay out of trouble. I am so glad that he didn't influence me or halt my education. I think I had a pretty good head on my shoulders and I knew better.

oh that's just so sad. was it a long distance relationship? those kind of relationships are really hard to maintain. I had one too before but we simply lost communication one day and it all ended. I guess only those with true love survive that. sad thing it doesn't include us. ^__^;; I guess were just not meant for each other. and so the two of you. ^__^

Yes i think his life probably could've been better, but it was hard because we talked on the phone all the time, but were only able to see eachother on the weekends in the beginning and he had other influences that he was listening to and hanging with. I just couldn't keep up.

I had a first love. We both loved Johnny Horton, he was the singer who wrote "North to Alaska" which shows how far back in time it was. So since that was in the 1960s, I have no idea where he is now and frankly I do not care. He was a mama's boy and he probably married someone whom his mother approved.

i had mine when i was in highschool, aged 14/15, we knew each other through a common friend...we kinda hit it pretty good as friends...then i started writing her letters...love letters, (cellphones were still a luxury then)...i ended up having a box (shoebox) full of them...but the fact is, I can say that we loved each other, but never really had a chance to make it official...don't ask me why...hehe then highschool ended and we had to go our separate ways...so it just ended after a while...but i still thought of her for 3 years or so...we were able to hook up again (through the net) 2 years ago she's still in college (like me) but she already lived her dream, somewhat. She's a member of a choir and theyre joining international competitions...It was her voice that captured me at the start...we still meet occasionally (through the net, hehe) but none of the romantic stuff now...

How did you get a stranger to love you? How is it possible for your crush to love you? Sounds kind of Far-fetched to me.

"How did you get a stranger to love you?" Become no longer "a streanger"? "How is it possible for your crush to love you?" Let him/her get to know you and fall in love with you? I don't see how love is far-fetched at all.

gloomcookielex is right. love is not far fetched. it can happen to anyone under any circumstances. unless you're not willing to love somebody. love becomes far fetched if a person refuses to love, if he denies love. ^__^

oh..that first love..i'm confused who is really my first love. i had this classmate and we go along much of the time during first year in college. i had this crush on him. he transferred to another school during our second year. we text and call each other..sweet nothings you know.we even say we love each other that much but i think we just have this misconception of our feelings.then on my third year in college he returned to our school to pursue the same course as mine...that's the time he became my boyfriend...my first ever boyfriend at the age of 21(hahahaha older huh?!) at first, i found it exciting and uhmm..mixed emotions since he is my first boyfriend..but i never knew how to handle the relationship..in short, we broke up. after three months, there's this schoolmate from high school whom i met at a certain meeting of alumni homecoming. i found him nice and kind...he is my second boyfriend and hopefully the last. now, i am deeply in love with him and we are turning 4 years this coming christmas (ohhh...so sweet!)...thru him i found the true love i've been longing for... but oh..forgive me..(because everytime my first boyfriend and I meet, my heart really is like a drum..like a drum)..joke...we are friends right now and we see each other everytime there's an outing or a simple reunion.
