Is it strange to still think of someone you dated 25 years ago?

every single Love that we had passed. They are kept deep in our heart. Sometimes, we see something to make us remember all the memory with each date that we had. It's absolutely normal. That is how GOD created HUMAN which is different from any kind of Animal.

Well, i can't deny that even I reflect on my past relationship's. I find myself smiling when I remember things my 2nd X hubby used to do to cheer me up.  We were the best of friends. Always joking around, It just didn't work out and we agreed to end it together, cried about it together, but he was honest that he had hurt me too many times and I had grown bitter. But, we were honest about all. My present hubby doesn't lack in this department. Just sometimes a song will come and  a memory will flash , but that is all that is, I am in love with my present Hubby.  Our lives have chapters in them, we can't erase history in our lives, we are bound to remember or reflect (not compare). Just as long as he isn't remembering during intimate times, there should not be anything to worry about.

I don't think we ever "forget" them...I was married for 71/2 years...been divorced for almost 16 years...and I don't think there's ever been a day that I didn't "think" of my ex in one way or another...I'm not so much "in love" with him...but I do miss the times we had and I will always love what we were together!! When you think of her...always remember one thing...\n\nThere must have been something about her that was good because you loved her enough at one time to marry her.....:)

When you're together does it feel like you're 17 years apart?\n\nThe older you are, the smaller that gap seems. There is big difference between a 17 yo dating a 34 yo and a 32 yo dating a 49 yo. \n\nAre you at very different places in your lives right now, mostly due to age? (Ex.: college student vs. granparent)\n\nAge is just a number, if you both seem to be on the same level emotionally, and are truly in love, more power to you.

I am currently and have been for the past 5 years been dating my best guy friend of 15 years, and all is great.  We just had a baby boy together 6 months ago, and nothing has changed between us at all.  We are still just as good of friends as we were all those years.\n\nI personally believe that if the person is the one that you are supposed to be with for the rest of your life, you shouldnt have to change one itsy bit about yourself.  And if you accept him for who he is and he accepts you for who you are...then go for it.  You stand a good chance.\n\nAlso I am a firm believer in fate, and soul mates.  I believe that you can meet, hang out with or even date your soul mate years before you are destined to be together.  So even though you have had a few go's at it in the past, it doesnt mean that it isnt right this time.  Maybe then just wasnt your time together.\n\nI say go for it and let fate decide where you stand.

No it's not old.  Date the ones your age and stop looking at the ones that are younger.  Trust me your not old.  Ask this again when your 30.

No you aren't, forever is one very long time. It's true that you may have lost your soul mate, but that doesn't mean, you won't find another.\nOne big problem, that you have, to my way of thinking is, that every guy you date now, is being measured against your old soul mate.\nThat's not fair to the guys you date. They are different in many ways from him. They cant possibly be expected to compete against a Ghost. \nIn your mind, your former lover can do no wrong, and will forever be perfect in your mind.\nIt isn't fair to his memory, or your life, to live in the past, like you are. Open yourself up, to new ideas, new people. If you meet someone new, judge him on what he has to offer you, and your future.\nIf you continue to judge  the new friends against what is gone, you will never find what you are looking for.\nKeep his memory alive, by all means, but don't let it stop you from finding a new love of you life.\nIt won't be the same, but that doesn't mean it can't be just as fulfilling and bring you much happiness and joy.\nSo open your mind to new alternatives. You are still a young woman with much to live for and  much to share.\nIs living a lonely life, what you really want, I don't think so.\nYou won't be settling for less, you will be looking forward to a new future.

I had a crush on a professor once. Even though I never acted upon it. It's been almost 8 years, we're both married now, and correspond by e-mail. To tell you the truth we both wonder what could have been. BUT there is only a 6 year age difference (my husband is 5 years older than me)

hey, lemmie break it to you gently....people rarely or never get over their first loves....it always has a nice feeling to remember that time and why should you forget it, we should treasure good old memories....as long as those memories dont get in the way of your marriage dear keep them....... i still remember my first love like it was yesterday, its unfortunate though that many people dont get to marry their first loves probably due to age, finances or other reasons but i woudnt want to forget that coz my past made what i am.....

I have mine. We've been together for 8+ years, and are completely in tune with each other. I have never had anyone even come close to this before. We think alike, finish sentences for each other, say something that the other one was thinking - things like that. If it wasn't so cool, it would be spooky (it kinda is!). Have a good night!

Yes....20 years ago and I'm still together with him.  He is my soulmate.  He changed for me, and I changed for him and yet we still have our separate identies.  \n\nI knew because we started out as friends and when my boyfriend (at the time) dumped me for something cuter, he took me bowling, just to keep my mind off of that.  I knew he was the guy when he took me home, walked me to the door and hugged me.  20 years later - he's still hugging and the feeling just keeps better.\n\nLike turned into love and we've been through every stage of the marriage vows except death.  We are better now than we were 10 years ago and I feel like a young woman all over again, and maybe even more so now because I'm a little bit older, a lot wiser, and I know I'd do it all over again.\n\nMy dad always said you know you've found him when you can picture him in a wheelchair and you're right by his side.  Well, I did, and I am.  My dad was right.

I remember all my ex-girlfriends and do regret some of the things I did while I was with them, and I'm a man, so "Yes" I guess. Whether your Ex will is probably all down to the kind of guy he is though, I wouldn't call myself a typical Man...

Since you only dated this guy for a very brief time you didn't really get to know him enough to fall in love; therefore, you created a fantastic image of this person. I'm sure your fertile imagination introduced someone incredibly irresistible and that is who you cannot forget. It's time for you to face reality and respect yourself enough to move on and expect the right person to enter your life. The past is over so please stop looking back over your shoulder because you'll never go forward until you let go of what no longer exists for you.

If you still love him,tell him the true. Do not make the same mistake I made. I'm been married for seven years, but I still feeling something for my ex-boyfriend. I know isn't love,but maybe butterflies in my stomach. That is strange or not?
