Q: Why did you part ways from your first love? Your personal stories will help with my issue. Thank you. Please feel free to go into as many details as you want or leave it as vague as you choose.
wow this is so ironic, i was actually just talking to my friend about this. she is just beginning to try to get over her first love, so i was telling her about how i still felt about mine...
Anyway, I was madly in love with a guy about 2.5 years older than me, my parents did not like the idea of us seeing one another, i snuck around to see him and my parents finally accepted my feelings towards him, we dated for about 4.5 months. I gave myself to him because i had fallen madly in love with him. He introduced me not only to love but heartbreak, one night we were suppose to see each other and he never called me. My friend flipped out and took my phone secretly calling him, i was a mess, i figured wow was he ignoring me because i slept with him? I went to his webpage saw i wasnt even on his top friends (yes sounds ridiculous but it meant something to me given the fact he was talking to his ex) So i sent him a message. The next day he called back complaining about the message i sent him, of course i gave in apologizing, even though i know now i did nothing wrong. Then later he called again accusing me of being with another guy, this broke my heart ( yes there was a guy who liked me, but i love the guy i was with) So he didnt believe me, then he called again saying hey lets forget this ever happened, we made plans to hang out and all so he could actually meet my friends which he never did. He then canceled those plans with me, i asked him what are we, what do you want us to be, he said just friends, I WAS A WRECK. Over the next 2 days we talked online and he said he wanted to see me so i of course wanted to see him, we hang out, him manipulating my thoughts making me think we could work it out saying he still loves me calling me on the phone at night. Then about a week later he calls me after school and says your not going to like this but im dating my ex again, i simply said whatever makes you happy. It's like the world stopped for that moment, everything ended. it was just me standing there like an idiot. We talked for awhile after that he wanted to see me but i didnt see him because i couldnt just be friends with him at least at that point. He would still call on a private number so i would answer, he would send me back emails i sent him about how much i loved him asking if i remembered writing that, i moved past him, it been 2 years, sure to this day yes i still do miss him, yes i still do even love him after all he put me through. He taught me so much and made me stronger, made me stop being naive, helped me shape who i am today, from that experience i matured into a woman, but most of all i thank him for letting me love him and for making me feel loved.


a first love is not something you ever truly get over, they remain with you. "you never stop loving somebody, you just start loving somebody else"

anything i can help you with feel free to ask.
