Do you still hold a little place in your heart for your first love?

[stratford]

Do you remember your first love? How old were you and still you still keep a little place in your heart for him or her?

[Lliam]

Yeah. From the time I was 16, I had super nice girlfriends. They were really pretty, too.
I'd say I was deeply infatuated rather than in love with them, though. I didn't know what true love was. But all except one hold a tender place in my heart.
I'm Facebook friends with my first girlfriend. She's a happy grandma now.
I lost track of my other girlfriends.

When I was 34, I lived with one chick for almost a year. She was absolutely gorgeous but turned out to be a psycho. I never want to hear from her again. She was the exception.

When I was 36, I met a 30 year old named Petra. She is the first woman I ever loved with my heart and soul. We lived together for over a year. Physically, she was the image of my feminine ideal, but I loved everything else about her, too.
Unfortunately, we weren't destined to be life long partners and separated for reasons that had nothing to do with cheating or anything. It's complicated. But I thought I was going to die without her. I've never felt such pain in my life. It took me a year to pull myself together and move on.

About 18 years after we last saw each other, and close to 15 after I married my wife, Petra found me on Facebook. We even spoke on the phone a few times and her voice made my heart melt. She was living out of state. I was overjoyed to be in touch, hear what she was up to, and know that she was happy.

5 years later, I read that she had died from a sudden medical problem at age 55. I was devastated.

Anyway, I never stopped loving her even though I knew we couldn't be together. I will always love her and will never forget her.

That fact doesn't diminish the deep love I have for my wonderful wife.

[hahahmm]

7-8th grades & nope. I went to her wedding when we were in our 20s. I think she still feels something for me tho based on her weird reaction to some stuff when we talked (public conversation) years back. but I'm leaving that alone. A bunch of the girls I knew in high school (including her) aged like wine. One aged like milk left in the sun tho.

[MsBell2018]

Absolutely!!!
We met & dated @ 17 for a few months.
Met back up & dated @ 19.
Met a 3rd time @ 22. I was engaged & said I'd break my engagement to be with him. He said no, go marry the other guy because he had nothing to offer me & didn't know where his life was going at the time. (Very romantic & selfless, I know) I said I'd love with him in a box over a grate as long as we could be together. He still sent me away.
We ran into each other again @ 27 when I was pregnant with my 3rd child, but nothing was said because I was married with kids & not going to cheat. The feelings I had for him were still very strong because he was my heart's one true love.
We met for the 5th time @ 47. We dated & lived together 7 years. I broke up with him 6 months ago. He's still an amazing man, we just want different things in a relationship at this point in our lives.
He will always be my heart's first truest love & I'll always be in love with him, our journeys are just going in different directions.

[Valdemort]

Certainly.
At 18, I had never met anyone who was willing to be as caring, interested and welcoming as he had been. Even though we never dated, as we never got to that point because we lived hours apart.
But since I was in a difficult space during that time, and he truly cared, I will never not be grateful for him.
We ended things on bad terms, because of my lack of understanding, and he wasn't interested in me making up for it. But I'll never hold any grudge towards him.
If anything, I'll always be grateful to have known him.

[Hawkes_Lady]

Yes, I remember the first boy I ever had a crush on, the first boy I ever kissed, the first boy I ever sucked, and the first boy I ever slept with. They all hold a special place as being the first.

[OlderAndWiser]

After 50+ years, it is a very tiny part of my heart!

[AviatorTom]

Yes, I remember her fondly. I was 18 and she was 17.

[Nikki_0508]

I was very young but I do consider him a first love. It was a puppy love situation, I was about 14. He never thought he was good enough for me and refused to "ruin my life" as he would say. Despite this... he didn't leave. I love him still but not in a partner sense. I wonder how he is sometimes and wouldn't pass on the opportunity to have a small chat although he has changed a lot. He carries himself in a very odd manner. The few times I have spoken to him, he seems to have become very egotistical. But I would still never pass the opportunity even though I am in a very happy relationship now.

[IslaTheWitch]

We are still in contact. He named his daughter after me, lol

We write to each other at least weekly. We meet when I visit Poland. We are not the closest friends because of circumstances, but still, he is one of three people in this world who know everything about me

[mooky06]

I was 16 with my first serious relationship. I lost my virginity to him and i was head over heels with him. Do i have a place for him in my heart.. No i don’t and i think the only reason why i don’t is because we had a messy break up and there was another girl he was seeing involved

If things ended different, possibly.. sure. But it is what it is

[Smashingdoozy]

In a way yeah. I hated him for so long, for absolutely no reason at all really. We broke up so I thought I had to hate him. But I don't, I'm actually quite proud of what he has accomplished and I'm thankful that he was my first, as First relationships and loves go I think I hit the jackpot.

[RebelinSteel]

Yeah I do, we dated off and on at school. The really weird bit was going to her wedding a couple years back. We had not chatted much for years but I felt a fair bit of emotion watching her get married. Most likely just a sign of how messed up I was at time.

[GoodManDave]

My first big high school crush, yeah. I mean, I haven't thought of her in years, but I still remember her, because it felt like such a big deal to me back then. First love... not if you're talking romantic relationships.

[Bricealan]

I think no one ever forgets that... I was 19, and she was 22, her name was Monilee Marie Michele Howell. Met her at the Sands Night club. I was broken hearted for months when she broke off with me. Never to be forgotten

[Demonatrix]

I do remember him in theory, but not what he looked like. So yes he does have a small place in my heart. I was in junor primary school and he was in the upper primary school.

[2_beHappy]

I can t say I ever had a first love;it was more like an infatuation, the first time I really liked someone. First love is different from that, in my opinion.

[FunkyMonkee]

Do you mean the first girl I fell in love with or the first girl I fucked? I, pretty much, have a place in my heart for nearly every girl I ever had at least a minor crush on.

[RavenDarkheart]

Yeah, guess I always will. He’s married to another girl he dated after me but will always haunt a small part of my soul.

[DizzyDesii]

I have a hard time hating anyone i ever loved. I may wanna distance myself from them forever but i can't wish bad on them

[Jumpintoadstool]

Of course. I'll always care, even though things didn't work out. We just weren't good for each other romantically.

[LazerBean]

Yes. A very big place, actually, because we are married.

[Wallythewalrus2]

Yes, I married my first love and we’re still going somewhat strong.

[abc3643]

Not anymore. She irked me this past September.

[NathanDavis]

we're close friends

I've always have my friends in my heart

[NathanDavis]

I think the last time we spoke about our relationship back in high-school... was like 10 years ago, lol

so yes, we do consider each other longtime friends rather than "exes"
