Your First Love: Questions About Your Experience

as for me i wont stop falling in and out of love
because i'll only be doing myself no good by not giving somebody else a chance
if one love fails i'll go into another
until i find the right one

met her when i was 15 and she was 14.
Very funny, it was feb 14 1997, i came to school on saturday and all the guys were like buying val cards to give to girls so i bought one and i was thinking of whom to give it to and i thot about her and gave it to her. i had no idea what i was getting into because i thot we were just friends. then monday morning she sent her brother to give me this card that had a love note in it! 
happiest day of my sec school life! I must have kept the card and notes for 3 years, i think i read it over a thousand times just to be sure it was real! And then later in the day, like an angel, she appeared at the door of my class, looking really shy, my heart just melted straight away.

She was the most quiet and sensible girl i'd ever met, we (err i meant she) would share everything including her money with me. i hated copying notes, she loved it and she'd pick my notes and copy them for me diagrams and all, that used to be her evening duty. One day she did not copy one note i had to turn in the next day and i lost my temper  , unbelievable! She simply stared at me, said sorry, picked the note, borrowed a note from a friend of mine and copied the entire note for me, over 15 pages of higher education notes.

We broke up (did we really?) when i left school and we lost touch. But 9 years later, we still stay in touch. We talked yesterday! 
She wants us to get back together, she never had a boyfriend since then! 
I don't know how possible that will be newayz, like i always tell her, time will tell if we can be what we once were! I loved her from the bottom of my foolish heart, she was the first girl who could stand my stupid boyish pranks those days. She still does lol 

damn y u yelling at her ,she aint ur damn slave,that was mean what u did@davidylan

What!I hope you don't think you love her because she takes all your shit?

It feels good to hear you say that, most men would rather the stupid than the undertsanding.

@Anabib

Thanks babe I feel so much better now

hv been there still on it but it ain't so guud and i'm so so such a big sucker! i just can't get myself 2 brk up with him wht if i live to regret it? it's more dan just love we connect on a whole different level.

erm, i met my first love when i was 9, n we went out till the day she died when we were 11

nah, i mean, it still haunts me sumtyms, i sit on my bed n cry, but I'm 17 now, six years to get over it

i dnt really no what love is but i think i had strong feelins for her, i have a son now, so i put my concentration on him instead

i guess

I remember my 1st love like it was yesterday. we met in JSS1, n he lived next block from me in d barracks. but unfortunately, first term in SS1 i moved 2 England, he saw me off d night i left n i've never spoken 2 him since. I still miss him, i think i still love him! we didn't really have a decent relationship with all our classmates tryin 2 come between us n my family forbidin me 2 c him because he was from d north n i'm from d east-silly really. But i'm still trynna contact him n i won't give till i do so. Oh n if any of u think they know me please get in touch!!!!

Love is just Love, and will remain love.

there's no easy way out, if there were, i would have bought it and believe me, it would be one of my favorite things.

Some of us, have been through hell and back, learned from the best yes, i hate it when i fall inlove i just can't handle the thought of thinking what's going to happen next, is he going to dump me, will he cheat, or is he cheating?

I'd rather be alone, than be unhappy,

True love will never come!

Humm, scintillating posts, make una dey post make i dey read abeg!!!

Interesting thread. I had crushes when I was younger, but they weren't real love. My first real love was with a guy I met through one of my friends. It was pretty innocent at first. We'd just make fun of each other, playfully tap each other, etc,  but later things got very serious. We tried really hard to keep it secret from his parents and at first, even lied to our friends. He was Mexican in love with a naija chick and we knew his parents would take an issue with that. Same thing with my parents who thought I shouldn't be looking at anybody but naija guys. All our friends knew it, but we'd deny that we had anything going on. But the minute we were alone, it was a different story.
His father was killed in an car accident and the family had to move to stay with relatives. We tried the long distance thing for a while, but it just didn't work.

Thanks for contributing. Welcome to NL.

@ Everyone
Part of the reason I started this thread was to see how long was the average "over him/her" period. The responses have been reassuring to me.
