Do you ever have First love?

Good or bad memory at least it's just experience life lesson.

I don't know if this is asking if I've had one or believe in first love. But either way the answer is yes.

At the moment, things are in a massive grey area. But I've been partnered with this girl for nearly 2 years now. She's my first love. She's so attached to me, I'm so attached to her.
It's a long distance relationship, she's in Georgia, USA and I'm in the UK. We first expressed our feelings towards each other after two months of talking, when she was 16 and I was 17. Now she's 17 and I'm 19 (a year and 9 months apart) and last month her parents found out she was talking to someone online (ie me). I always told her she should tell her parents but she was always too afraid to as she felt they'd react poorly.

And she wasn't wrong. Since they found out, they have cut all possible communication between the two of us, put her through counselling and reported me to their police department as a possible "Sex Offender". That alone hurts, to be accused of being a sex offender, I've literally done nothing wrong to them before they found out. I have no bad intentions and I've offered to talk to them directly, in which they refused (even before taking it to the police). I recently contacted the detective investigating the case and she was rather passively aggressive towards me I guess? Spoke to me as if I actually was a sex offender and told me her parents want me to get lost.

Sorry to over-elaborate but it's something that's always on my chest right now. I miss her, and I can tell by the songs she listens to on spotify (it doesn't have dms but you can see what others are listening to) that she too misses me.

In 3 months she turns 18. I just hope to god that she gets back in contact with me after then. I won't leave her and she told me she won't leave me but if I can't take it anymore then she understands. I don't want to. But now I haven't heard from her at all, probably because her parents are constantly watching everything she does.

But despite recent events, she will always be a good memory. I love her and always will. I do believe first love can be strong.

Such a lovely and sad story.. thank you for sharing.

Nice question. Yes I had. But it's a very painful memory at my brake up. After 3 years from brake up, she came to me and asked to be as a bestie for life time. I accepted and within few days she's getting married.

[CapricornHoney]

Yes I did, we broke up about 5 years ago now. I have only good memories except for the actual break up itself. No break up is ever fun to go through though. It certainly was an experience for me to learn from.

I had my first love when I was 12 to 13. Everything was excellent, and then he cheated on me, so I learned early on what some men are like. I took relationships very seriously after that.

[dthomas89]

I've never been IN love. I've "loved" but, it wasn't serious

[Phoenix98]
