Do you ever truly get over your first love?

Answer 1

hah, wow i just asked a question similiar to that a few days ago cause yeh personal problems with thee boyfriend. haha anyway, well from what i hear, first love holds a special place in ones heart.. you see that scenerio [sp] everywhere.. movies, tv, books, etc. even in real life. but yeh personally, i think you`ll always think back on your first love.. i don`t for i have not found my first love yet but yeah. that `s what i think.. lol xP

here`s one of my favorite quotes involving this question
it`s from a book i read by nicholas sparks;

"You are who you are, Garrett. You`re a man who loves deeply, but you`re also a man who loves forever. No matter how much you love me, I don`t think it`s in you to ever forget her, and I can`t live my life wondering if I`ll ever measure up to her. I just can`t compete with her .." +message in a bottle+

lol well yeh, that`s my opinion; can be right or wrong(:

Answer 2

Yes, you do get over your first love. You have to stay busy and occupy your mind with other things and other people. Don't ever compare someone new with your first love. Everyone is different and you will not find someone just like her. I remember my first love. That was 20 years ago and I still think about him at least once a week but not to the point where I feel like I still love him.

Answer 3

I fell in love and even married the woman and we had a daughter together. We only made it a couple of years and my ex went into drugs and I could not count the guys she had been with. She finaly over dosed and died about 5 years ago but we split up over 25 years ago. I don't think I could have cared less. She was not a nice person.

So yes you can get over it and complety not care less what ever happens to your first love. You do remember but mostly just the bad stuff. I don't remember anything good about her.

Answer 4

I'm going to say yes. Because with my first "love" I was so naive. At the time I probably was in love, and would have done anything to be with him or for him. But as I think back on it, I was just blinded and totally naive to the actual situation.. some would call that love. I say it was stupidity. Perhaps I'll always remember him, but do I still love him? No, not really. I care, but not love.

Answer 5

Depends on how long you went together, How good and for how long it was good, what happend both good and bad. The time to get over it Varies person to person. It took me years to get over mine even though we were 14 and 16 and only lasted 1/2 year what bugged me is it was my fault and i knew it. I been over it for awhile but will never forget her and always wonder what ever happend to her

Answer 6

No I got my first love when i was 11 and Im still having feelings for him even though he broked my heart this feeling will be with me forever till the day I land in my grave!

Answer 7

Sorry to say but no I haven't seen my true first love for over 7 years and if he was to stand outside my front door I will be with him again and that's no lie !!

Answer 8

It's not a matter of "Getting Over" your first love; you just learn to live without him/her and you learn from the mistakes you made. You won't ever "forget" him/her, but you'll learn to love someone else again.

Answer 9

I never saw it as getting over it... I just moved on... it didn't work out and I put it in it's proper perspective. It will always be special but eventually you can look back with fondness and not sadness and see it for what it was.

Answer 10

It all comes down to how much importance is placed on it. There is nothing special about your "first" love, nothing that makes it better then the rest.
