Mine was an immigrant from Kenya who was in the U.S. studying nursing. Shortly after we met, she was offered a scholarship to a school in Texas and moved there. We kept in touch and later decided to take a trip together. We fell in love on that trip and decided to try a long distance relationship until she finished school and moved back to Maryland. Sadly, the relationship ended less than six months later when she realized that she had made a life for herself in Texas and decided to stay there. Gosh I miss her.

My first love was a long distance relationship too..we met when I was studying in the US..we ended the relationship too but never ended the friendship.
I am not sorry though..it was just not meant to be and I keep my good memories with me
My first love was a beautiful gal in high school, former model too..bonus for me...
She and I were completly inseperable, i learned how to love also the pains of love...When i went to basic training i came back to learn she cheated on me...
It broke me and my heart into pieces...we tried again but i couldnt let myself love her the way i should...so i drank and drank....and drank...
Now, she is married, but the last time i seen her, I was at the bar, and she gave me a huge hug, wanting to really sit down and talk with me, but i couldnt it hurt pretty bad the way we ended....
So the moral of my story is, what doesn't kill ya makes ya stronger. Now, im happy for her and her husband and wish them the best. And learned that the fairy tale i cooked up in my head is just that a figmen of my imagination...
I am proud of you! Healthy of you to be happy for them.....heartbreak is hard, but we learn from it too. It just wasnt meant to be for you and her but you will find who you are looking for.....
Good luck and I appreciate you opening up like that. Its not always easy...
Mine was during the summer between 10th & 11th grade. We went together for a few months & mutually decided to break up, just before school started back up. I went to the shore (beach) with his family that summer & we had a great time.
We got back together a few times after I graduated. In fact, I was "seeing" him while he was stationed in California in the Navy. He'd write me all the time. Unfortunately, I met my (now) ex-husband while he was out there. When he came home, he wanted to get together at my place & have a few beers. Stupid me... I invited my (now) ex too. That was the end of that.
I ended up getting married, of course, to the wrong guy. When I saw his engagement in the paper, I knew I'd made a huge mistake. Then, my ex & I were walking the dog one day & walked past the church, just as my first love & his new bride were coming out. I left my ex shortly after that. No use in delaying the inevitable.
My first love is now married with 4 kids. I saw him & his brood last summer. He hasn't changed too much, but he doesn't keep himself the way he used to.

High school - He was a football and baseball player and gorgeous! I was so happy that he asked me to be his girl. ISSUE: He had a girlfriend the previous year who had moved away and they had broken up. She would call him every once in a while to cry and tell him that that she was miserable without him, etc. and that would make him feel bad. Eventually I was forced to realize that he was torn and so decided that it would be best to end it so he could get his head together. I know...so much drama in high school, right? He eventually realized that he had made a mistake but I was able to see him just as a friend after the HORROR of the heartbreak went away....
He played a very pivotal role for me at that time. I was diagnosed with Scoliosis (curvature of the spine) and had to wear a back brace for a year. It was a pretty bad experience AND I had to go through it in high school of all things, but he still cared for me and didnt get freaked at all. That made me feel OK about it and I held my head up high. SO, the break up was pretty hard to deal with. But we remained friends.
To this day, I do still think about him every now and then.
Any Love I have ever shared was eclipsed and made a pale shadow by the only woman who has completely captured my heart and soul. She is everything I could ever have dreamed, to the point that I often wondered if she was even real. Of course I know now that she is more than real and the best blessing my life has ever had. So perfect in fact that just her friendship is more than I have ever have had from any other woman in my life. She will always be the transcendence of Love in my eyes no matter what the future brings.

I hear you loud and clear brother. If i change just a few words in your post i could call it my own. Good moral of the story i might add....

We kept the freindship too. In the three months since we broke up (yes my story was that recent) we've been writing to each other once or twice a week, just not everyday like before. And we don't take trips to see each other anymore.
It wasn't meant to be for us either, but I think I need to find my second love before I can say I'm not sorry it ended.
