Who was your first love and what were they like?

So I'm feeling quite nostalgic today after watching a bunch of cheesy Nicholas Sparks movies and I was wondering, who was your first love and what were they like in terms of their relationship with you? I'll go first:

My first love was a girl I had met through our families (our dads used to pray together). I liked her from the day I saw her but I didn't actually say anything to her for a long time because she was quite religious and I wasn't sure about her reaction. But a few years later on NYE, we kissed and then we dated for about 7 months before she cut contact with me completely because her family didn't want her associated with a girl who liked girls. We got on amazingly well when we were together but recently I saw her with her husband and kid. She ignored me completely and pretended I was a stranger.

She told years back that she had never been attracted to men. Only females.

Oh god that's so sad :frown:

Anyway, I met mine on TSR and we were together for about 6 months. We broke up right before he went off to uni. In terms of our relationship I'd say we got on pretty well in person and over messaging. It's what he was like after the breakup which really annoyed the hell out of me and nowadays I just feel relief we're not together anymore. He will always remain my first love though. Even though he was a massive douchebag which no self respecting girl would ever date now.

My first love was an hijabi, we were together for 5-6 years.

I knew her since I was 11 or 12.

I don't really like talking about what she was like.

But I am an apostate now anyway.

And I know I will never ever truly stop loving my first love. Even if I don't talk to her or think about her any more, I know I still love her, because when ever I see a Muslimah, I see her.

But that's part and parcel of life, just got to move on and try stay positive. :tongue:

Another question for people, how long was it before you decided you loved them/what was the thing that made you realise you loved them?

Can't tell you how painful it was when I saw her that day with her husband and kid. She looked so unhappy.

I think with me it was when I had a six hour convo with him over the phone. It felt like 15 minutes. Never had that with a guy.

How old are you OP?

I met my first love when I was 14, began dating at 15, relationship went well. We met at school like a lot of teenagers do, we used to have a love hate relationship and just fell for each other I guess. We split up last year over WhatsApp though :/ We lasted over two years, I am impressed.

It must have been awful to be treated like that. Do you like both men and women or just women?

Yeah but we broke up about 4 years ago. I like men and women.

It's funny because I've had a boyfriend and a girlfriend over the past 4 years and I still love her as much as I did then.

Ah well. Such is life.

His name was James. I have known my him my whole life, everyone has always made jokes about us falling in love and getting married. We were together for 3 years and throughout the relationship (except towards the end) he was just perfect. Such a gentleman and so loving.
