prairiewoman: No. I don't believe you can fall in love again like your first love. Because I'm not the same person I was then - I've grown, matured, experienced things. I do believe that I can love again and likely as deeply as that first love - but not exactly the same.
I agree, when you first fall in love, your heart and mind is given unreservedly which is why it hurts so much when it doesnt work out. The consecutive times you fall in love, you may be a bit more cautious.
love74: Its like the love between a man and a woman introduces you into its world and leaves you there all alone.Sometimes you win but most times you lose,it hardly gives people a second chance to touch it like the frist time. With your frist love your are ready to do anything for him or her even if it means dying but now when someone asks,would you die for the one you love,most people would say NEVER. I think frist love should learn how to give people a second chance.We have made our mistakes,pls do give us a second chance.
First love is often inmature and naive, can be big, true and very real though. I remember my one He happens to be my boss now
I recently met somebody that made me feel like i did then years ago. So good! Haven't got a clue what we have yet and i can't wait to see him again. Still trying to be out there but he is totally in my head. First love is good but if it happens in my age now it can feel even better. He will be back in my town soon and i just have to figure this out.. exciting
It hasn't happened for me, but I really believe that it can. And I think that even when life seems darkest, it can happen. When that new love comes along, it is such a feeling, you wonder why you were so worried. One very, very beautiful thing about this life: we get second and third, and sometimes more, chances. Chin up--

No, I don't want it to be the same. I have those memories with my dear husband and I deal with the loss everyday.
When I experience love I want it shiny and new . So bright to fill in all the shadows that were left when my husband died. So new and strong its not gonna break because of a little stress. Able to hold up to all the problems that life gives you. Maitenance being no more no less a normality of....... compassion, gifting joy, understanding, empathy, strenght, and character, fidelity, plus love and passion. You have to put a little work into anything u do but oh God what reward for so lttle work.
Each experience with love changed me, so when I fell in love again it was different. And better, because I knew new things about myself and had other life experiences outside the love affair. Those things changed me, too. But we never have a chance at new love if we compare it to the old. That's one of the reasons it's a good idea to take time away from a love affair and get back to ourself again. Not date for awhile and just work on me and my needs. It helps me heal and gets me back on track with my life.

In my case my "first love" was based purely on hormones (as I now realize, but oh what a tragedy the break-up seemed back then). And I think it's not a matter of dying for someone, but rather of learning how to recognize the right person (taking into account your experience) to LIVE with and enjoy every day of it.

Unless you’re still in the midst of that one your first love, grateful for it and want to express how fortunate you are, never can imagine anything better, why would you want to know? If you’re not, wouldn’t you want to fall even deeper?
If I met someone and there was the slightest hint of her comparing me to some other love she fell in, in the past, I’d take her to the chairs and say:
“Look, if this isn’t enough, if you’re not feeling what you felt before, if you’re searching inside how big this might be and if it is anywhere near that first big, it means that you’re still not over that first one, and I’m no second fiddle to any old ended relationship. I hate to go, but I’m on that jet plane, gone, here’s a last kiss for now and I’m on my way. You know where to find me, but only find me when you know for sure, else leave me be”
No i dont think you can , when you fall in love the first time you have fallen for someone you feel has no comparison therfore if you part company you seek out somebody better to help you move on , but deep down you know there is nobody better

If it is going to be the same why look for it? The first time you put on a pair of skis and stay upright; the first time you scuba dive and see how bright it is underwater; the first time you actually manage to stand on the surfboard and count to three (very fast).....the next time you do each of these things it is different but just as exciting....so carry that through your life.....
Snuggs09: The CSer's will get mad at me Stress cause I've posted about it before but here goes.
I knew him in grammar school and all through high school. Had a very hard crush on him that he didn't know about. He signed my yearbook "Always Mike". I never forgot him and through the years looked at his picture in my yearbook. Told people about him all the time.
In 2005 I came across classmates dot com and found him. We emailed, talked on the phone starting in Feb 2005. We met up when he asked me to go to his daughter's wedding in July 2005. I was shocked at how he had changed but I still had the crush.
He called me all the time and eventually I fell deeply in love with him. Months later he said the same. All this time I had been sending him money and things he needed to make his life better to the tune of $60,000. I saw him again Christmas 2005 and things weren't the way they were on the phone. I knew something was wrong but didn't bring it up.
He took me to the airport on Dec. 27, 2005 and that was the last time I saw him. He didn't give me any reason to believe that it would be the last time. I called him many times after I got home and rarely did he answer the phone.
I waited 45 years for him to break my heart....and my bank account. I'm back on my feet financially and my heart has pretty much mended but I know I will never love as deeply as that again.
good lord!
snuggs....u r a lawyer, right? ...very rational, it seems so but very emotional in reality if that u say really happened!
God, I feel for you....as I feel for myself....but reality does "bite"....as I would not expect "financial" support from someone, so I would not give "financial" support to someone...actual love is price free....really...
