I seriously doubt you were in love with him. It does sound like you've moved on so congrats, now forget about it.

you only ever fall in love with someone who loves you back.
it just sounds like you had a massive massive crush on him.
put it this way, it may happen again some other time? if you couldn't get with him now its not the end of the world, stuff happens for the best.

i realise you'll be upset but theres much more to life

well u might have been in love but thinking of someone now and again doesnt mean u were in love with them, its happened to me, i liked someone, i think of them now and again does not mean i love them
you just over him thats all

I did the same thing with this lad at school... i thought that was love, though now i'm with someone who loves me, and i realise that the feelings i had for the first lad were nothing at all compared to the real thing! :biggrin:

why do you want to classify him as your "first love" anyway?

what purpose would it serve.

it doesnt hurt you anymore, end of problem

I had my first girlfriend in primary school, I'd hardly refer to her as my first love though lol.

Edit: I do remember her though...

well yes, that is different.
my first gf was a bitch, lol.

but to say just because you remember someone gives it certain significance is silly.

Met this girl and for the short time we were together i loved it, but for certain reasons we cudnt be together, anyway I never looked at another girl like I looked at her, she was like perfect in my eyes and took me nearly 2 years to forget her, but I still wud love to see her more than any1 else...

im not saying it isnt.

but the OP says she only thinks about him, and she never got with him.

she merely had an infatuation, imo, where as u seem to have been in love.

i remember my "first" gf. i think i was 6, we used o play animals of farthing wood. we were the foxes. and we were going to get married.

True love.

Reply 15

but how do you know what is true love, and what is teh difference between love and true love if there is one

I think it must be pretty common to think you really love someone, at the time. But later you often realise it was just infatuation.

I had a massive crush on a guy in my first year of college, I was a bit obsessed. He was pretty much everything I was looking for, and we got on quite well. And then I met another guy, and suddenly realised what I felt for the other one was nothing. I went out with this guy for a few months, and was in a right state when he broke up with me - now I can see that he never liked me as much as I did him. And compared to with my current boyfriend, we were more just like friends who kissed each other sometimes.

In retrospect, everything changes.

Just for the record, you do forget your first love.

Not in the way you wouldn't recognise them if they walked down the street, but you struggle to remember anything about your relationship.

Saying that you never forget your first love is just some romantic BS to make people feel better. You never forget true love.

What if your first love was true love though?

Well then it's true love.

The implication of first love is that they will love again.
