 Our first loves are filled with so many wonderful memories. You look back and you think what if,what it could have been yet it never happened. I married  the man that I truly loved he was my soulmate he passed away and I'll never be the same again.

They're all kinds of loves passionate when you're young and you want stability when you get older. When you're my age 75 really hoping to find someone! Forget that. The men all want 30 years younger!! I just only hope they can see to drive a car, can hear what you are saying ,somewhat healthy and a companion and to old for bad habits. When I read the obituary I think wow he would have been a good one but to late!

I still think of my first love, wonder what could have been.  I still have dreams about him.

I dated a lot of guys, once -- because of him.  I had two great loves after him.  One guy for 5 years.  I've been with DH since 1980.

Every time he ran into my younger sister he asked about me. We ran into each other when our kids were little, about 12 years after we split. (he married "her")  He said "It's weird we have kids with other people"  I thought,  OMG do over! but I just nodded and smiled.

It's no secret to DH that I want to see him again.  He's cool with it.

I cannot even manage pining over a teenage love for 50 plus years.  I can't wrap my mind around that.

@Mary Bailey. Thinking is one thing, but doing something is another. That's a slippery slope!

@Vickiv. Very sad, but funny, too. You can never be alone though, with all of us, right?

Not able to speak on first loves. There is reason but won't elaborate. What I'm able to speak to, Deep soul and intimate relationship. You know the feeling. Movies are written and songs poetry so on. Ooh so intense so passionate. True summer love. Air force magnificently handsom. Intelligent, Long discussions on many levels. Reasons we didn't end up together are personal and won't share. Think about him often. Wonder if he's living? Miss what might have been. Last night watched Summer of 42, Revisted 1976 my summer of change and sweet memories. Shanus, Enjoy your trip down memory lane. Let no one take it away. You love your husband no question. Believe with age natural and quite right to ask....what might have been? 💁

When I was a freshman in high school my dreamboat transferred to our school.  He was a sophomore and because he was from out of state, he had to take a required freshman course.  My girlfriends and I all fell madly in love with him.  We spoke just a few times, usually about assignments.  The following summer I saw him at a local hangout.  We began talking and talking and talking.  The next thing I knew, he was my boyfriend.  We did everything together. We dated until early in my junior year when I became seriously ill.  I knew my recuperation would be long and possibly not complete.  He was a senior applying to college.  I would be a burden and did not want to be pitied. I broke up with him.  I cried forever.

I met my husband in college.  It was months of dating before I fell in love. This love was different than what I felt as a 14 year old.

First loves you never forget.

I am married to my first love, too. I wouldn't change a thing.

When a first love ends it is memorable, precious, and does a pitter- patter to the heart. It does not have an end, it is within you. Good or bad it stays. It can also be wonderful because you can imagine any ending you want.

My first love was my 1st boyfriend. The dating scene lasted but a few short weeks, but being first boyfriend was something special for me since i was not allowed to date while living at my parents house.

he dumped me to date a friend of mine, we were in nursing school. She was in my class.  Last word i heard which seems like 100 yrs ago,they did indeed get married but divorced soon after marriage.

I met my 2nd boyfriend a few months later. I kissed him good night and told the girls in my dorm floor I was going to marry this cute guy I just met. We did indeed get married and will celebrate 47 yrs married 49 yrs together.
