Do you ever really get over your first love?

My first girlfriend and me dated for like 6 months, and we ended up breaking up because we had differences. this was three years ago when I was 15. now I am 18, and I still think about my first love all the time. I dont have feelings for her anymore, but she has a spot in my heart still because she was the first girl I ever dated/kissed etc. I decided to take a break from dating until I finished high school and I just graduated back in july. and I just met this girl, she is amazing. her and me have so much in common and I have decided to date her, and I can honestly say to myself that I am glad that I met this new girl and all that time I thought I was never going to find anyone else after my first love, made me realize I was stupid because my first love was not the one for me. so keep your chin up, and things will get better for you. Someday this will all make sense for you.

We get over our 'First love" and then we move on. Perhaps it hurts a bit in the beginning, but if it was a good time that was had, it turns into fond memories - and life continues.

That you felt a "twang" whatever that is in the UK, could be from so many (other) things, and you do make it sound more like a jealous moment, where you should more so be happy for him... And then we all move on.

Life can be as complicated and chaotic as we want to make it, but also smilingly simple - you are in charge and you choose which one.

And my suggestion is that when you feel a bit sad and (envious?) read some of my blog-posts (link below). Many from your part of the world follow my blog for a few weekly giggles, etc.

Oh, and since you don't love him anymore, why the photos (and a bunch more "twangs", whatever they are). Cheers, Peter

short answer YES..

long answer... been there done that .. and you do get over it.. but it is different to all the others there always a little part of you that holds on no matter what. but things get better and you move on and some times you even find some one and have a relationship with them that make you look back on ur first and think wow how rubbish was that. it a bench mark for future happiness. we all go thought life with trial and error and learn from things. your first is just that... throw yourself in to improving your life . learn something new or just do what ever make you achieve goal and happy. and before you know it mr right will come along and your first will be a memory.... take care

If he leaves u after you got married to him, that would more painful than this.

True love always gets success.

remove him from your mind. so many lovers got separated after they got married. And they did not find the love after their marriage. All their love became bitter.

so don't think about him. If you keep think about him. You will lose you happiness with your future husband. You will not be able to react as a first Love to your would be.

completely erase all your memories with him.

This is my sincere advice from bottom of heart.

now you are going to start new life with fresh mind.

No, you don't ever forget them or get over them but you do learn to live with it and Look back and think yes it was good and not blame your self for why it didn't work, i no people say this a lot but time really is a healer, and no don't listen to that idiot you are enough but maybe he just couldn't see what he had. Someone will come along and they will love you for you.

Shy, At least say something Nice...

Rose, to me it seems that deep down you still wish you had this guy...

My suggestion would be to do something else, get a hobby that you can do regularly and if he's still on your mind then I think you should share your feelings with him... you've got nothing to lose anyway.

Hope this works for you,

Edit: And you never fully get over it. :(

You meet someone who turn your whole world around and start do develop feelings towards them, and then yes, you get over your first love.

Just move on u can get som1 better than him just try your best to forget him and hook up with som1 else.

You're not good enough. That's why he left you. Go eat some ice cream and cry over Bridget Jones Diary or get over it.

Hope this helps
