Do you ever really get over your first love?

In reality almost no body marries their first love, and when they do happen to get married, they end up divorce. The right person may no be your first ove but that person will meake you happy.

It depends a lot on what happened at the end, if it was your first relationship, was it "true love," etc. Also, (this may sound sexist) but boys and girls look at breakups differently.\n\nAs a boy, I didn't really get over my "first" for a long time. The first month was the hardest, and I still thought about her for years afterwards. From her point of view, she went out of her way to try and hurt me, leaving pictures of herself with other guys in my locker, flirting with other guys at parties, even taking advantage of some poor sap to go to the same prom as me.\n\nWhat I later learned is that girls and guys look at breaking up totally differently, and what she did was her way of dealing with it.\n\nIn my opinion, time is the only way to get over it. Try to find other hobbies and friends. Try not to do the same things you did before, but find new things to do.

No.  A new love can easily fix it.  New interests and pastimes can make you forget the old love.  What you take from an experience that broke your heart is: Greater knowledge of who you are, what you want in a partner, and how you deserve to be treated.  Move on---best wishes!

It can be the worse pain you'll ever feel, until you realize its not going to kill you and it ends up making you stronger...its just that first love gone wrong puts you in unfamiliar emotional territory..you know its not going to stay this bad but not knowing for how long makes it seem like there is no end to the pain it causes...any broken heart hurts...but that first one...ooouch!

Your first love you won't get over for years, you will have to fall in love like a couple of more times and go through some s***.  Then you will still wonder about that person from time to time.  It is all a process just take it one day at a time. it will be a long road, and don't take him back he will treat you worst, I am sorry that you had to give your virginity away to someone who couldn't appreciate it but that is what happens when we don't wait until marriage.  See our parents was right about something, my first was a disaster to.  I wouldn't take it back though I have learned a lot from it.  Just make sure the next guy is worth it or you are in control.  To get over him just think about how much he took you for granted and just treated you like a piece of crap.  You can never get your virginity back, no matter how long you go with out sex and never do it again.  So think about that, and get over it sweetie,  he is not worth the space in your head.

You never really mend it ... you just move on and dare to be vulnerable with someone new. I could list seven names of people I feel have a piece of my heart, but number eight, my partner, has access to the overwhelming majority of it.

Of course your first love is the first person you ever dated and or perhaps had sex. its special because its always remembered, because the first is never like the second nor last.

My boyfriend thinks his first love is his true love..but you never end up with them.  But..you can also have a deep love for another maybe even deeper..and your first love can still be your true love.  I don't know...I think there's something special about the first person you ever loved..it's a new experience, a new feeling, and I think maybe part of it's falling in love w/the feeling.  It's like experiencing anything for the first time..then the more you do it, you get used to it and it's not as exciting you already know those feelings.

I think your first love is the stepping stone for a good second relationship .All the mistakes were made the first time and hopefully you learned from them .

Let it rain...you have to let go of all the pain and situations in the past before you start dating again. It's hard, but you got to do it. Yeah, you got the memories of your ex, but if you want to love again you got to move on. Don't call her. Don't do anything to her. Maybe there's some attachment to her if she was your first love and basically first everything, but you got to let her go. If things were meant to be between you and her it would happen. It goes with the saying "if you love something set it free, if it comes back to you it's meant to be." If you and your ex were meant to be together you will get back together, but on the mean time move on with your life. There are plenty of fishes in the sea. Really and don't shut out on some girl because she looks too much of your ex or because you have an idea of what you want don't shut out on girls that don't met your qualities. You are just missing out and not giving this girl a fair chance if you are comparing her already. When you know you are ready to date is when you don't even think about your ex anymore or how much you loved her.  I know it's cliche, but yeah, just move on and the best way to move on its well, to envelope that person and then send it away. As in get all that feeling in your system then either write, cry, or whatever guys do out and then send it away. Throw away all those memories or hide it away. Anyway, a new love will come into your life when you least expect it to. Good luck and hope I helped.

You are not alone. First love does take a longer time to get over, but trust me, you get over it. Be patient and give yourself time.

You never really get over your first love. If you want to move on you have to find something or someone to fill your extra time. Maybe you need some time without some one until you are confident again. It is ultimately up to you when you want to start a new relationship. Jump back in only when your ready.

Yes.  If you really want to get over them and move on, then you have to be able to focus on yourself and not have them always around to bring up the past.  Perhaps some day you can be friends but especially when your trying to move forward and get over them it is best to shut them out of your life completely.

Of course!  People say that you can always find someone better...and you might, but what if your heart doesn't want or can't handle "better"?  \n\nUm, but there's that old saying "if you love something let it go, if it comes back it's yours....".  I truly believe this is true.  \n\nI lost a really great guy almost a year ago.  Another great guy came into my life, but I didn't want him.  My heart cannot forget my ex.

Well, you can never ever ever forget your first love...unless you get konked on the head and get amnesia or some such like that. Heh. ^^; Anyway, it's normal to hold your first love higher than the next. You want the next to be just as perfect and wonderful. It is possible that he isn't the right one either, but you shouldn't ruin the relationship you have with him just because the love you feel is different. Best of luck hun! ^^

I don't think that you can forget about or get over your first love.  But do not dwell on it..there's always other fish in the sea.
