Your first love

[Jonluw]

Hiya escapists.

I was just recently thinking of a song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ycFYM5M6lM&feature=related].

Spoiler: The chorus goes, roughly translated, like this.

"My first love
Did more for me
Than you can ever imagine.

My greatest love
I gave to you
There was only one of it in me"

So I can't help but wonder; dear escapists: How was your first love, and what did it do to/for you?

Spoiler: My first love:

Spoiler: I do not really know if I have fallen in love with anyone yet, so I have to go with this girl

Yeah, she's a cartoon character. I know.

How has this affected me?
I suppose I have sort of a weak spot for read, semi-short hair and big eyes.
I'm also afraid that spending so much time fantasizing about love in my younger days might have left me with unreasonable standards and an unachieveable ideal of true love.

The first girl i fell in love with has fucked me up. Makes me trust people less. Has made me almost too forgiving. *sigh* but i love her still

the first girl I loved? don't think I have *loved* one yet... this current one is getting there though ^_^

good on you, mate!

Erm, I guess my first serious girlfriend. It lasted a while, and I lost my virginity to her.

hey, at least you can't say Escapist members never have deep conversations.

 

[Jack and Calumon]

The first girl I loved? Made me think bad about myself and think about what I did wrong. Was I too slow for the relationship? Not loving enough? Not her type? A dick?

2 times we went out. Both times she ended it. Never explained why.

...

I'm sad now.

Calumon: *gentle hug*

Me and you both bro.

Because all the cool kids dig red hair.

*Generic love is for the weak speach*

There is something unique about falling in love for the first time, simply because it is the first time. That doesn't make it the greatest by any stretch.

The first woman I loved was good to me, until her subconscious clock ran out and we had a nasty breakup. She appears to have gotten better now, 6 years later, and I still wish her well, but it was probably for the best.

 

[Aurora Firestorm]

The first guy I loved was pretty awesome. He and I shared a lot of interests; we had lots of great experiences; he loved me back; it was great.

Then he dumped me out of absolute nowhere after saying he'd stay with me long-term. It made my current relationship a real hard thing, because now I live with an eternal paranoia that one day I'll wake up and everything will go horribly wrong again. I feel like it's all my fault for asking him to commit before he was ready, and so now I try my best never, ever to bring up the topic. Nothing can convince me that I didn't screw myself over.

Fun times, eh?

 

[Best of the 3]

She never made it out of the basement I locked her in Mwahahahaha

It was a while ago now. Actually it was a norwegian girl. Very beautiful. I was over there for a long holiday. A wedding I think. I met her and we hit it off right away. Nothing came of it though as it was all very innocent and because we were in different countries we never really got to speak to each other again. Shame. Still, it was fun while it lasted.

As of now I can't really say I love anyone at the moment. I'm not really looking for a relationship and it sure isn't finding me.

 

[aseelt]

I married my first love!

Sounds familiar. First time, pulled me out of depression, second time she sent me into it by leaving me for a total **** on Valentine's day. Smooth.

 

[Dublin Solo]

My first love is my only love. I'm still with he same absolutely great guy, eleven years and counting.

 

[Lieju]

Well, there were some kids I loved in a not very romantical way when I was in elementary school and younger. Not really crushes, more like friendship, although I agreed to "date" one boy who was my buddy, since he asked, although there wasn't any romantical interest on my part, and it made me a bit unconfortable he had a crush on me.

I suppose my first love was this girl who sat next to me in school for a few days, before transferring away in junior high. It was the kind of thing where just being near her made me unable to do anything intelligent. We hardly spoke, since she transferred away after few days. I do remember she had a horrible case of acne and smelled nice.

 

[Harlemura]

Not sure if it's love, but what love is goes a whole other route, so we'll leave that.
Closest thing I've come to it at least is someone in my IT class who I met in September. We've only spoken a couple of times and even those have just been work-related topics, but there's a soft spot I've got for her that's kinda difficult to explain...

Three cheers for internet anonymity allowing me to admit this!

 

[DiMono]

First girl I fell for, I waited too long and did everything totally wrong, and ended up feeling really down afterwards. But hey, that's what high school's for, right?
