When was the first time you fell in love? How old were you, who was it and did you ever tell them?

Mine was Robert P. he was my first b/f that actually lasted longer than a month in high school. Actually we lasted 3 months and at 14 that's a long time. I told him that I loved him but we "threw it around" not really knowing what it meant for sure ... but after I broke up with him (I moved :( ) I realized that I truely did love him ... wonder what he's doing now....

Ahhh... I remember my first love.
It was so...

@#&(* **** #&%&% **** *** ******** !!!!!!!
#$&(*# %&*$( **** #$*#& !!!!!!!

ah... yes.

-AE (She was my "Vietnam")

I was 15, lasted for 3 years, he found out and he tormented the hell out of me....He was to quote the lovey Aesir...my Vietnam.

I had a high school crush on Teresa R. I had a crush on the girl for three years. I never told her. I didn't have a lot of confidence in high school, and I always thought she was way out of my league. Man, the things I wish I knew about girls back then....

I was 14 and his name was Tommy. I still have his picture and the pics he sent me from Guam.

We had a week together, then maintained a relationship through letters until I was 17 (when I met my husband) Writing Tommy to tell him I was getting married was pretty hard.

1st love? Or 1st TRUE love?

First true love...im with her now, past two years.

I found my first TRUE love early last year. Completely blew away my original conception of love and relationships. Now I know how it should be.

My first love was when I was turning 17, summer of 89. It was puppy love of course being so young, but it grew to a deep true love. In fact I'm still with him to this day. Oh we've had our bad times, but great times too. I think what made our love between us so strong, was having each other go through life's challenges together. Does our marriage still have that spark? Oh yes!!!

i dont think it was puppy love when i first fell in love, but that cant be determined until later anyways.
i was 17 when i first fell in love, ... and damn did it scare me. ;)
i was surprised because i didnt realize how much it would scare me, and i was a little peeved that pat seemed to have fallen in love so easily, and so fearlessly.

oh yeah and one time i re-fell in love with pat. -oh no that doesnt count though.

Hmmmm.....

I suppose my first real love came when I was in college. I moved in with a girl. We used to talk about marriage and kids and all that. After about two years, she went through a personal identity crisis, broke up with me, and moved away. In retrospect, that was a blessing. I picture my life had we stayed together and got married, and I would have been miserable.

She came back to me two years later, apologizing and trying to get back together. I had been dating my now wife for about six months, so it was very satisfying to turn the ex away. :)

I do think there is a difference between your first love and your first mature true love.

My first love was in high school. I thought he was the bee's knees. Of course (as many others have already pointed out) that relationship -- which was on-again-off-again for a couple of years -- was pure drama.

My first true love was in college. We talked about getting married and even moved in together. Our break-up was completely horrible and sent me into a deep depression that lasted a year and a half. In hindsite I realize that had we married, it probably wouldn't have worked out -- so it's better that we broke up. However, I feel that the experience has scarred me and I terrified that I'll never feel that way about someone again.

When I posted it ... I mean first time you wanted to tell someone you loved them.

I have not yet experienced TRUE love yet ... I think it takes time to fall in love with someone.

My first love was in high school. We were a classic example of a "dysfunctional relationship upgrade". (Friends to more-than-friends). She was everything I thought I wanted in a "girlfriend". It was more like she was everything I knew wanted in a "best friend".

My first true love was/is my beautiful bride, Maria. She's been the voice of reason when my reason walked out the door, and the kiss on my lips when the world is against me. When our relationship took off, I knew this true love was the person with whom I was to spend the rest of my life.

I was 14 the first time i thought i fell in "LOVE" i would have put everything i had on the line for that kid... WOW how times have changed! I remember how upset i was when he broke up with me i thought i was gonna die! Oh well im glad i dont have to kiss his ass anymore but i guess it was good times well it lasted!

still waitin :o ... oh well, I'm young...

definitely the kind of thing, i think only a guy can say.

[i just think girls can overthink things too much sometimes, and guy are better with just going with their gut. I think that makes them more fearless in these kinds of matters.]

Sometimes what I think is love is actually masked at something else. I thought at 15 I knew what the hell the word meant.. and I thought that everything it described was in the form of this person.. who I refer to as "*******" now. It's funny how sometimes a person thinks someone could be their match.. but how will I ever know if i don't take risks?

I figure I'll never have a true love. Sometimes things seem too good to be true.

that totally resonates with me, and i sat with it for awhile and breathed and realized... maybe that's okay.

I don't find the term true love to be very concrete. Love itself can't really 'stand through time' alone. You have to mix in respect and admiration.

Kind of off topic, I guess. :)

I don't think I ever had the true definition of first love, you know the kind you long for and and is now gone. I wasn't a big relationship person.

I've noticed, with my wife, that when you are with your true love...it's like the respect and admiration are already there. It was like (and I know this sounds cheesy) I knew mari blu my whole life and I was only waiting to meet her.

I believe you're right, "love" can't stand on its own. So many people make that mistake, but true love feeds itself. It just needs two willing partners.

Laura was my first love...we had known eachother for years, I was 14 when i realized that i had fallen in love with her. 3 days after we pledged our love to eachother I had to move :mad: We recently reconnected and it turns out that niether of us lost those feelings. Now i gotta figure out how to get her to move closer to me :)

dot com, nice quote, i actually recognized it ;)

YES! Another Rent fan.... you rock

She has never lied to me, screwed around on me,never cheats on me, never lets me down when I really need her, is always honest and to the point, doesnt mind when I beat on her and abuse her(keeps coming back for more), never whines when I leave her at home to go play with others, is always there to support me, and never judges me (no matter how mean I have been to her).

Here she is in the flesh!!

Yes I know it is a car, but I have very deep feelings towards it.

As far as real love is concerned, there is a girl that I cared very deeply for when I was 18 (roughly), I was always the one that was there to pick up the pieces after she was hurt, it took me a few years to finally wise up and say that maybe I could be more, the timing was wrong(I had a pshyco chick that i had been sleeping with previously, pull the old "I am pregnant, and its your kid" trick to try and get me back after I stopped sleeping with her, I knew it was a trick as there was no way that it added up, and in the end it was nothing but a lie, just as I had expected.

But in the mean time It ended up ruining what i had with the one i really cared for and we did not speak for 4 years.

I have not talked to her now in about 3 years

to this day i am not over her, and honestly dont know that i ever will be.

I would not go back to wanting her again, even if the opportunity arose.

She was also my very best friend, the only one that I told my true feelings to, and was there to help her with hers.

In the end she was unable (or unwilling) to be there for me when I needed her the most.:(

The last time I talked to her My father had just recently died of a heart attack, and i found out i needed open heart surgery (3 weeks later, and just before xmas 99).:(

I was just planning on making a joke with my car but i guess you get both

My first "crush" lasted 3 years on a guy who wouldn't give me the time of day.:(

First true love was in 1982........................

When I was in fourth grade I fell in love with my teacher. Its been that same way ever since: I always have been falling in love. The problem has been to get other people to love me.

criminal, I think you are just in love with the idea of being in love ... I was like that ... then I realized what it was and understand when I am in love or when I am just thinking of being in love.

Funny thing is that you may believe in love until you you get your heart broken really bad....then its like "screw love"!
