Is it true you never forget your first love?

I still think about my first love a lot.

But then again I haven't exactly met anyone else since him.

Will it go away?

    you will never forget your first love. no matter how it ended, they will always have a piece of your heart and the memories will always be there. you can always love them, whether deep and secret or just as friends, but you can also fall in love with someone else.

    my advice is to let time do its part. never try to find another guy and use him to get over the first one.

    Yes, it's true. You never forget your first love. As they say, the first cut is always the deepest. Over time, feelings will fade down to a minimum. There may be like an ounce of feelings left for that person, but it will never entirely go away. Once you start dating and fall in love again, you'll be preoccupied and happy with your new love interest. But no matter what, thoughts of your first love will never go away. & that my dear, is just life.

    YOU NEVER FORGET YOUR FIRST LOVE

    and guess what none of us have either

    this is one sure fact about life

    we are all on the same boat together

    not one of us on earth forgets your first love

    just try to find a way to smile when you do.

    thats what actress Meg Ryan said

    The only way I really was able to sorta get over my first love even after years of pining away for her was when my mother died tragically in an auto accident

    it was then that all my priorities sudden went into order and I realized pining away for someone for years has wasted alot of my time that i can never get back

    o o time for reflection again. sorry. you'll be fine

    its okay to move on too. it'll be alright the sun will shine again. :)

    If you were nine, twelve or twenty you will always remember what he looked like and his whole name. There are also some people that are just hard to forget. I remember a little girl I walked to kindergarten with. I also remember some men I should have known better. Your first love will always have a special corner in your heart. When your old those memories keep you warm.

    That's actually sort of funny because I haven't thought about my first love once in years until I read your question...so no, it's not true...you can definately forget your first love.

    I think it's because eventually you meet that one person you want to spend the rest of your life with...that loves you as much as you love them...you realize that you were never actually in love before. It was just a crush or "puppy love." I thought I was in love many times...was with them for years and and thought I loved them more than anything.... but how I feel about my wife now...it doesn't compare...and those other girls are nothing compared to her...and no...I never think of them.

    you can pretend it gone. you can talk to yourself and say it's over long ago. then - bam! the memories, feelings, images, and longing emerge. it was there all along. never really gone if you truly loved. sorry folks-first true loves will haunt you as long as you're alive! i wished i could go back, because i wouldn't have let that beautiful girl get away. now she's only in my dreams.

    It will never go away.... I experienced my first Love who was also my first boyfriend, ive had guys since but the feeling definitely dosent compare, simply because he was the first person i felt anything for in terms of Love or Lust.... Every gy that comes into your life will be compared towards your first Love but never will you forget your first Love, only if you get altzheimers P: god forbid........

    You will move on, of course. But you'll never forget him. The longer you dwell on him, the longer you'll feel the way you do. Get out. Date. Experience new people. One day, you'll look back at this and not remember why you were hurting at all. Trust me.

    I have the same situation as you. I have forgotten most of the memories. I haven't dated since the day my girlfriend broke up with me. She was my first and only. Time will tell. I asked that question myself sometimes.
