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

Post, same. I suffered less when I got divorced 11 years later.

Oh WHY did you dump him PostBellum?

Best...he introduced me to sex

Worst....he had sex with everyone else too, behind my back

Ah, what a tribute to name yourself after him, AF.

The flirting became competitive Elephants & we were hurting each other. We were also still very young. We met at 18 and split at 21. He was my first proper relationship - I was a late starter! I thought I was too young for him to be "the one" and I wanted to have sex with lots of other fit young me!

I was right too about him not being "the one". We are Facebook acquaintances/friends & his smugness annoys me alot.

arrrgh

He and I got the hang of sex together (more or less). I thought he was absolutely gorgeous and I did enjoy him being 6'4 and, erm, in proportion.

Best - he made sex good fun and was genuinely very caring. And we've always stayed friends, and he (and his now-fiancee who is another good friend) are people I know will always have my back.

Worst - on a mundane level, he wasn't a good match with me as we were too competitive! And we were far too young, and he got me pregnant then got another lass pregnant after we split up and decided I'd be the best person to come to to ask for support. I had a rotten time but I don't blame him - we were just far too young and got swept up in our parents being awful about it.

I do feel very lucky I have (mostly) lovely memories of all the good teenagery stuff.

ah, mine was very accomplished already

lots of fucking practice, you see

literally

Hmm. I have woefully little sexual experience myself so perhaps I am just blissfully ignorant ... but I've found men who think they're 'accomplished' tend to be awful!

I mean ...seriously, it is not very difficult to work out, is it?

Good - he was funny, affectionate, we had a laugh. I used to think he looked a bit like Jack Sparrow. Actually he looks like Russell Brand, but less "carefully manufactured scruffy" and more "actually doesn't give a shit scruffy".

Bad - he was an alcoholic (in retrospect) and didn't know the meaning of the phrase "exclusive relationship".

Best - he was interesting and different, and he had a lovely Welsh accent, dark black hair and striking blue eyes...

Worst - he thought he was a tortured genius (he wasn't, he just had a drug habit which messed with his head), and would dump me every few months because I "made him too happy" and he "couldn't be creative"

He was going to walk the earth and find himself. He went back to his home town, became a teacher and had two kids

Best - thoughtful & good looking. we lost our virginities to each other

Worst - ran off with my best friend. Bastard!

he was accomplished, lrd

not as much so as DH though, hell no

Oh lovely memories

The best - tall, dark, handsome, funny, the best kisser I ever knew, amazing body. Bought out the best in me.

The worst - nothing. He was fantastic and I never met anyone who could ever match him (just going through my second divorce so I gave it a shot!). We were just too young when we met but I am grateful my teenage self was so loved and able to love right back.

Best - great kisser and he worshipped me
Worst - nothing really.

I was about 14 and he was in the year above me at school. We met through an out of school club and went out for about 3 months. I dumped him because he wasnt very cool or good looking and girls in my year took the piss.

I'll always regret being so shallow as he was adorable. He once walked the half hour to my house on A blazing hot day because he had bought me a handbag (swoon).

It's only now I realise how much of a bitch I was and how lucky I was to have a boy adore me?

I feel a bit nostalgic and sad now

Best: tall, handsome, interested in the same things as me, same sports, same music, kind, bought me random little presents.
Worst: his mother, his infidelity.

Best - He was really kind, one time he got on a bus for an entire hour really late at night just to bring me his spare inhaler because mine had run out :)

Worst - He was very childish, still is, in fact, even though he's almost 30 now. I grew up and he never did.

Best: he was fun and flirty and had a flat top hair do (anyone remember that ?) i lost my virginity to him and had visions of us getting married and having babies together (bless i was 16 and in the throes of young love) he was cool and had a motorbike , i was never allowed to go on it though, we used to see each other every day as we used to work together in a local supermarket , I was on the deli counter and he was on the fruit and veg, and our eyes met between a set of weighing scales..
Worst : he was very flirty with quite a few other girls who worked in the local supermarket too and with one girl on the tills he was more than flirty , of course I found out and was heartbroken , he had bought me tickets to go and see the film mannaquin and when ever i heard that song from the film (nothings gonna stop us now by starship) i would be pretty inconsolable for at least an hour.
Bless....

Best: he was perfect. on paper 6 foot 3, dark hair, the most beautiful eyes. Funny, charming, Welsh accent, had his own opinions and take on things & highly intelligent. Liked to people watch with me Called me & was generally good with his phone.

Worst: Would criticise everything. Oh, and he had a wife and children back home in Wales that he failed to mention. The bastard.
