What was the name of your first love...can you remember ?

a girl who's name I can't remember. I was in fifth grade, she was in sixth. My mother thought I should get to know her brother who was a year younger and my age. I tried and then met his sister. A year older then me. Everyday that summer we spent together. Talking, going for ice cream. Just hanging out. School started in September and I knew that she was a year older and in a differnt grade. I suspected that she would walk home with her new friends. Came out of school and she was there waiting for me. Never forgot. Not to this day. My first love.

When I was in my early teens there was this girl that lived next door that I had a major crush on. A most definately unrequited one. She was 2 and 1/2 years older than me and in high school. She would come over and hang out at our house I think to get away from her parents that were strict with her. She would torture me by talking about her boyfriends. She had about 4 or or 5 of them at any one time that she was stringing along. Her name was June.

I think I'm about 14 in this picture.

Honestly, this has always bothered me slightly. That is, when a guy is hung up on his first love. I don't know if "holding a candle" is the same as being "hung up" ---- I don't think so. It's not weird, per se --- but it sure makes a girl feel like she doesn't stand a chance. I dated a few guys back in the day, who talked endlessly (or it seemed like it) about their "first love" .... I'm not even the jealous type, but it really hit me wrong.

I will never forget my first love, it's something special for sure - but I believe you can love more than one or two people in your life. It just depends on your circumstances.

I'm sorry if that came out as a rant. I guess it's a pet peeve of mine. :ROFLMAO:

No problem at all. I very rarely ever see pictures of my first love, but when I do, my heart still skips a beat. There's nothing I can do about that, and I don't think that demeans anything about my feelings toward my wife. All of us arrive at today after a long journey, and that was one of my stops along the way. I broke up with my first love because we were kids, and were too young to handle it all.

I don't think I have ever told my wife about my first love. I'm not sure why or how the topic would come up. She certainly wouldn't know her name. She was part of MY journey, and has no relevance to the time I've been with my wife.

Mind, I'm not the jealous kind, and I know the past exists only in memory.
 
In kindergarten it was Terry P., I told her I loved her but she didn't love me back. (sigh)

First girl I asked to go steady was Chris W. in sixth grade. She had my name written on her books so I knew she liked me. I bought a ring at Woolworths and gave it to her, then proceeded to not say one word to her for a couple of weeks. She sent the ring back to me in a note that stated she wanted to date someone else.
 
Crappy photo I know but this face was on the back of a motorcycle as I was
carrying in boxes to our new home. Saw that face, my knees got weak and I
couldn't eat for days. He strolled by the next day and introduced himself "Steve".

I can't not hear this song without that face coming to mind.

I sure thought so, sadly my Mom realized I was very umm, smitten with him and she was afraid I would make her mistake and
wouldn't let me actually date him. We remained friends over many years and oddly enough he ended up marrying another
named Sharon. We both chose badly after that forced break up.

How come you didn't get together when you were old enough ?:unsure:

Time and others we hung around with. He finished HS in another school and met another who could date.
By the time I caught up to his freedoms of dating (He was 2 years older) we were running with different crowds
for about 3 years then our paths crossed again. Nice to have a "Wonder what could have been" story I guess.

LOL Now we know who invented ghosting! ;)

My first love was Ronny. I "liked" him all through high school. He didn't like me back. I realized later that was the main thing he had going for him. Friends would come up and say (this is how we did it in my school) "Mike said he liked you. Would you go out with him if he asked you?" and I would say, "No. I like Ronny." This kept me safe all through school, from something for which I was so not ready.

Who I really loved was Mr. Rochester, Mr. Darcy, and Heathcliff. Definitely Heathcliff.
