Your first love

[pharaoh malik]

Caffeine.

It has been a lengthy and ongoing relationship filled with sleepless nights.

....are you implying that caffeine is cheating on me? :| Because I'm quite certain we have a similar relationship.

By first love, do you mean a crush or someone you actually dated?

That's open to interpretation.
Whatever had the greatest impact on you, I suppose.

I define "love" as the opposite of "hate", and I'm pretty much over every crush I've ever had.

 

[MajorKris]

It didn't work out. His betrayal made me a little bitter for a few months, but thanks to good friends it got better. A year and a half later I had given it another go, and now I am with the most wonderful young woman I have ever met. The bad experience of my first relationship makes me very cautious, but I would be lying if I told you I didn't love her.

Well, I suppose you could just take it as the first of your romantic experiences that stands out.

may she burn in hell...

Mine was called Annabelle. Spent two years friends with her and loved her every minute. She then moved away and she came to visit every so often which was fine. Then she stopped completely. Then I never heard from her, even on Facebook. Now she lives in New Zealand.
Thank you Annabelle for being the most adorable and irratating lover ever

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.

I don't believe in love, or at least, not for me. So, I've never fallen in love.

And then there was my first real, adult, grown-up, honest-to-gods, capital letters LOVE, at age 20. I loved her then---13 years later I still love her, and I always will. Our relationship ended because she literally descended into madness. Schizophrenia, DSM-IV genuine psychiatrist diagnosis schizophrenia. And watching her slip away from me...I've dedicated the "Forever Rachel" song from Final Fantasy VI to her. I hope she's OK. I haven't seen her since everything went down.

If you dont mind me asking, where is she now then? Couldn't you visit her?

I lost touch with her...and to be quite honest, I'd rather leave that in the past. I don't know how she feels about me after all these years, but I don't know if I could keep myself from falling for her all over again if she's anything like she was during the good times when we were together. And I can't let myself do that. Not to her...not to myself...it would just be too much on my mind. I'd always wonder if she was going to slip away from me again. And it would be way too much living in the past.

I know that sounds melodramatic. But I don't care. For the sake of all involved it's best left as a tragic story. And if she got better and found someone that makes her happy and gave her the life she was supposed to have with me...then it's the gods' will.

Dude, that's awful. As much as I'm only 15, and am nowhere near understanding your pain, I certainly can feel it.

My regards
Jake

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.

Wait, wait I'm confused. You agreed to "Date" one boy, then your first love was a girl? I have to ask are you a girl or a boy?

A woman.

Soooo...

Are you lesbian then? Or was that a one time thing with the girl, and you actually like guys?

 

[Fawcks]

I lost my first love.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh.

I still love her.

Yes, I'm a lesbian.

 

[oreopizza47]

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*

I'll hug you too, I know how this goes. I still don't know if we were going too slow, or maybe she didn't see it the same as I did. I dunno, it's these things that don't seem like much to people on the outside that really get in your head and start forcing open the sanity cracks.

Do you have multiple personality disorder?

*DING-A-LING-A-LING-A-LING!*

You've won the "Christ, I haven't heard that in a while!" Award!

*Ahem*

No, I do not. I believe that all of your questions are answered in this thread. Except that one involving the dog and Youtube. That one you need to figure out yourself.

Calumon: He is a nice dog though!

 

[FlyAwayAutumn]

Yes, I'm a lesbian.

Oh, O.K.

Kinda blunt about things aren't you?

 

[FlyAwayAutumn]

Well fuck that's a double post if I ever saw one.

 

[TheLiham]

My First One, I want to brutally torture and murder.

My Second, I want to beat with a cane.

As you can tell, I've lost almost all respect for women. But I'm Happy.

This.

Mental hi five dude

 

[Ace of Spades]

She spurred my affection and further solidified the tendency in my life that when I try to do anything substantial, everything fucks itself over. I haven't tried to kindle a relationship since, but since I'm only 18, I'm willing to wait a bit.
