Do you think that you ever really stop loving your first love

even years later? sometimes I just get a twinge in the back of mind, even though its been over for years, plus i've been with plenty of peoples since!

It varies to individuals I s'pose. It's been like five years but I'd got over it.

Twinge? Aww poor guy. So you know the depth of your pain.

No. ALthough you might not love them anymore, you'll always feel something for them, like anyone you truly love I guess.

I think however much you try to forget about them, there's still a part of you that loves them, even if they were a bitch/bastard whatever.

you never stop loving your first love, you just get used to living without them.

this is the case for many people anyway... mine will always have a fond place in my heart, but we never fell out.

You might stop loving them, but you will never ever forget them. There will always be a small place in your heart for them. Afterall they had a huge impact on your life, you can't just switch that off. Of course you get over them and find someone else but you won't forget them ever.

If you have loved more than once, you have never truly loved at all.

Yes. I fall out of love extremely easily. I don't feel any sort of twinge for anyone I used to go out with - even though at the time I was completely in love with them especially not my first love. Once it's over it's over for me. Dead. Gone. Buried. I've always been the one doing the dumping though - perhaps if it was the other way around I'd feel a bit more fondness for them. I can be very loving but I really get over people quickly. Which is good because I don't really get hurt. I'm female by the way.

I hope not but probably. I'm still in love with my first love and we broke up a year ago. I guess i dont love him with the passion that I did when we were going out but i still have a fondness for him, even though he was a complete **** when we broke up.

Would a first love include someone you were infacturated with (nay, loved possibly) for a long time?

I think not... but am I wrong!?

I don't think so. No.

Infatuation is simply an emotional state in which only one person got involved. It's not actually love which involves a couple. Infatuation comes and goes in a way that's different from love.

Well the last time I spoke to my first love, I was 16.

Its been nearly four years since we've talked, but I still feel something for her. I'm over her, but I will never truely forget about her. Its just one of those things that you will never forget.

i think you will always feel something for them it is only natural. it is the first time you have ever loved someone so it is special and it will stay with you. but the whole love thing and not forgetting them i do not think you do!

I think you can stop loving them especially if they turned out to not be what you first thought they were. If that makes sense!

But like others have said, you'll never forget them.

I hope not.

As someone once said to me, the first person you're in love with moulds a lot of hot you see and expect love to be. Whether or not you stop loving them, they'll always be a part of you. Everyone you meet has some effect on who you are, but your first love is one of the few people who'll have a large effect.

I don't think you forget any of your loves. Be it your first love, love of a friend, or even the love of a pet! If you really love something, you've already given it a place in your heart, and nothing can ever undo that...

Also, if you have "loved more than once, you've never truly loved" is balls. You're saying you can only love one parent? One friend? One thing in this infinite universe? Unless the thing you love is yourself, you'll never be happy thinking that way...

P.S. Barbie, don't you think London is more of a city now? It used to be a town, then started doing well for itself... And don't give up, your man is out there somewhere :smile:
