Tell me about your first love

[dictionarydiva]

What was the best thing about him or her? What was the worst?

I'll go first:

Best- he was so bright and witty and we liked all the same things
Worst- he was only about 5ft 7" and made me go to Marillion concerts. Plural. As in more than once

The best and the worst can be summed up in that he was/is a gentleman and a Trekkie. It meant that where all other teenagers were snogging in the back row of the Star Trek movies, I remained frustratedly unmolested.

Haha a Marillion fan and a Trekkie. Come on people, I'm shamelessly bumping this. We can't be the only ones with shit first loves.....

My first love was at university. He was 6'4 and gorgeous, always smiling. We were doing music degrees. We started off by getting together at his place at night, and we used to read this little book of quotations on music and discuss them! What plonkers! But this led onto night of hot lust and falling asleep when the sun rose.

Unfortunately he would never go out with me, but we used to sleep together on and off throughout the whole 3 years and then a bit afterwards too. Eventually we just became friends. We are still friends. Lots of heartbreak tho really, I should have ditched him off!

Only love and with him now. Had to kiss a lot of frogs along the way though

OMG dictionarydiva. Was his name Tim?

Or is there more than one of them....?

He was lovely, sweet, patient, kind. Everything that I want now (luckily got it from my dh)
He wasn't a bad boy, and stupidly back then I ditched him for a 'bad boy' who broke my heart.

I totally deserved it thou!

Best - he worshipped the ground I walked on! Bought me flowers/chocs regularly (I was 16, he was 18) and he never pressurised me into sex. So when it happened it was lovely! If my daughters have 1st boyfriends like him I'll be very very happy.

Worst - he became a bit too jealous when I went to Uni even though I was completely stupidly faithful.

Made up for it when we split thou

Best - he adored me (or so I thought)
Worst - he was a bit too nice...if you know what I mean...

He's now in a relationship and living with my younger sister....

Haha no AwesomeWellies He wasn't called Tim... but tell me about Tim. Did he collect deleted picturediscs of Kayleigh too?

finnbarr, woah that's not in the rules is it? If my sister went out with one of my exes I would be none too impressed

My first love good: very funny, creative, sweet
bad: a bit of a boy in the emotions dept which was quite draining
We're still friends

He was perfection on two legs in pretty much every way not encountered in my life since :)

Can still remember how much it hurt when he dumped me

I've always felt grateful to have had the 'classical' experience of first love and all that went with it.

Best- absolutely the funniest person I know, a cross between dara obrien and boris johnson. Just thinking about that makes me smile.

Worst- he just didn't love me as much as I loved him and treated me pretty badly.

With my first real 'love' I didn't even realise that he was until a long long time later, at the time I thought he was a crush I'd get over when it became painfully obvious I was just a drunken kiss. This was during my A-levels at school and 10 years later I still think about him sometimes.

Good: He was gorgeous, truly. And he was funny. For weeks we'd play cards in our common room and ridiculously flirt. He used to draw and gave me lots of his artwork. Random texts.

Bad: Turned very cold very quickly after the night of drunken kissing when his mates started teasing him about me. Gave me the cold shoulder and then dropped out of school. I bumped into him a few months later in the highstreet and he pointedly ignored me while talking to my friends.

Ah young love.

BibiBlocksberg I definitely had that classical kind of "first love" with Mr. Marillion but looking back I'm not sure if that was a good thing. It definitely made anything else seem weedy and rubbish in comparison for years and years. Although I guess I knew that my husband was "The One" because I felt like that again although it was years later and I was older (and unfortunately) wiser about life.

Weird isn't it, how when you're in first love you believe it will last forever and when you look back you often think "well that was doooooomed from the get go!"

Best: incredible upper body :o and wonderfully sarcastic/clever

Worst: turns out he preferred cock

We're still mates though and I love him in a totally non-sexual way!

Best: introduced me to some great music and the joys of Pizza GoGo. Was good fun to be with. Amazing bass player. Bought all the weed. Got me awesome Christmas presents even though he was already thinking the relationship would be over soon.

Worst: told me I was scaring people off by using the title "Ms." and that I needed to tread more softly with the whole independent woman thing. Gave me peculiar tests to see if I really trusted him - pretending to do something hideous in the hope that I wouldn't complain because that would prove I really loved him, or something. Didn't get round to fixing broken seatbelt on my side of the car for ages and then told me off for making him worry when I suggested it was a bit dangerous for me. Threw up in his bedroom bin when drink and didn't clean it out for weeks. Had a total complex about being short.

I was absolutely crazy about him, and our break-up felt like the end of the world. Looking back, I think I dodged a bullet.

Best - good looking and really funny.

Worst - didn't treat me very well. Always put his friends first. Don't know why I put up with it.

DH asked me out whilst I was with my first love - I turned him down. Luckily, DH asked me out again a few months after my first love shagged someone else behind my back.

I don't hold any grudges against him.

Er, drunk, not drink.

I'm the same as bunny
Best he was funny, sweet, kind and adored me
Worst he was just too nice
I dumped him for a 'bad boy' wish I knew then what I know now

finn

elephant in my experience the best ones always do!

I was 20,he was 19. (I think the age thing contributed as well...I was young, free, gorgeous and living abroad for the first time) It was love at first sight. Saw him and the universe clicked into place.

Best- ^^ that up there.
Worst- he had to go and do military service and it fucked his head up and I ended up crying a lot.

He is still my yardstick and no-one has ever come even close. I still love him

Never been as crazy about anyone as current BF. Been engaged three times and married but looking back I was never really in love maybe more in love with the idea of being in love. I do think fondly of my first fiancé though, we were both young and it was never going to last. Found out he died a few years back not so long ago and was about that. Best thing about him was his spontainuity. Worst was the possessiveness and controlling trait.

Interesting how many people dump nice guys. I think we are all looking for that edge and are then gutted sometimes when we find it LOL.

Best: he had big chocolate brown eyes, he drove a Spitfire, he was cool but also very sensible, we spent 3 years working our way through the joy of sex!

Worst: he was a bit smug sometimes, he was a massive flirt.

Even though I ended it, I thought it would kill me. I've never known physical pain like it - not even when I got divorced. I used to literally howl with the sense of loss annoying all my flat mates & lost about 2 stone! Young love eh?!

I was an early starter and had gone out with lots a few boys before him. We were both only 13 when we started going out together. We lasted until I was turning 16. He was my first love and it was genuine and he will say the same. I was heartbroken when we broke up. Looking back I regret meeting him so young and think it could have ended in marriage if we had been older.

Best thing, he truely was my best friend and we were a perfect fit.

Worst thing, getting involved too young and having my heart broken at such a tender age.
