I was 17 years old when I met the first guy I ever fell in love with. We were set up by friends and I liked him as soon as I saw him, but I had never been in love before, so it was the furthest thing from my mind.I remember a month into dating he handed me a note (folded in a triangle, remember that?) and asked me not to read it with him there. So I waited until he left and was amazed to learn that he was in love with me. And even then, it didn't immediately suck me in. He was definitely good looking and incredibly nice, but was that enough to hand my heart over?
It took me another few weeks before it sunk in and I realized I was in love with him too. I remember when he sent me a dozen red roses to my work: "Although we're miles apart, you're always close in my heart" is how the card attached read. This guy had me completely smitten (later, he also became the reason why I do not like red roses.)
For most of our 1 year relationship I was in my Freshman year of college and he was a senior in high school; our lives were completely different. Yet, he was my world. Until, of course, he joined a gang and cheated on me. Yeah, that kind of screws everything up.
Yet I still have pictures of my very first "real" boyfriend and look at them and how innocent and naive I was in my first experience with love (Not to mention the really bad hair.) I've learned a lot since then, yet every time I look at Nick, I feel like he is the only love I have ever known (and everyone collectively says awww.)
Who was your first love and what was that experience like for you?

It all begun when I was 13 and fell madly in love with a boy a few years older than me. Took me a year to get old enough to even have a boyfriend (in my eyes) and during that year we became very close friends and after I confessed to wanting more we became boyfriend girlfriend. I lost my virginity to him and he was an enormous support for me in the midst of my troubled teens. The relationship lasted 1½ years and we're on good terms still.
Couldn't have asked for a better first love really.
My first real love was this guy named Don. A bad boy, complete with tattoos and a drinking problem. I was 19, he was 28. I never told him I loved him. But he told me, after every stupid thing he did.
But right now, I'm in love with my new boyfriend. We've only been dating for a few months but it's good. The best. I'm crazy about him. I haven't told him yet because I'm terrified. Things are so good. So instead, I think it after everytime he does something wonderful. Which means I think it all the time. : )
Mine was a trumpet player and we were 13 years old. However, the drama also began with him because my friend really liked him and thought they were "going together", so she was pissed when he started "going with" me. Lost a friend over my first boyfriend, but that's ok. He was a great guy and we stayed friends all through high school.
what i consider my so-called first love is a guy i met in school when i was 17. we never dated, never expressed verbally any interest (though my friends used to say that he liked me), never even became good friends. and yet despite me "dating" here and there, i was always in "love" with him for practically a lifetime. how pathetic of me haha!
Mostly, I like remembering those notes all folded up in origami shapes. Especially the ones that you held on your fingers and had to open and close a certain number of times...wish I still knew how to make those.

Mine was Sarah Michelle Gellar. But I got over it when I saw how cruel she could be.
I just really hope my first love would be my last.
When im love, you experience a variety of emotions. At times, love makes your spirit soar.
