My high school sweetheart? yep, because we were best friends long before we got together, and engaged, broke up, engaged a little later, off and on, until I completely broke it off with him and said I just dont have the same feelings for him anymore, and it was probably a different love I was feeling for him the whole time, because I never felt for Greg what I felt for other guys. He actually called me this morning, lol.
Cindy B. May 15, 2009, 11:37pm EDT
I have too, we had a kid..What do I rememeber most you ask? He is the same ass he was back then =) Godbless him! =)
bryan hairston May 15, 2009, 11:38pm EDT
Fifth grade, she was light skinned, light eyes and was the cutest one in the elementary school. I nursed a crush on that girl until we graduated high school. Saw her again at a reunion, she married...me, hopelessly single and her husband is a muscular guy! Oh well. I haven't seen her around lately, she has a few children and still has those light hazel eyes though. I am a sucker for brown eyes!
Michelle C. May 15, 2009, 11:41pm EDT
I voted wrong. I should have put "Why should I?" .. .LOL!
Deloris Wright May 15, 2009, 11:44pm EDT
I was a freshman in high school.He was agrade before me..we went back to my 50 year class reunion.He was there with his wife.We have stayed in touch since then. He grew up to be a very nice man.
Larry H. May 15, 2009, 11:44pm EDT
there were so many..
Eileen C. May 15, 2009, 11:45pm EDT
Well the first love that I really believed was real love and we were going to marry one day was a guy in high school. What I remember about him was that he accepted me for who I was except that fact that I wanted to wait to you know after marriage and he didn't like waiting much and dumped me. We happened to find each other on Facebook, chatted for over an hour and haven't chatted since. I am married and happily so and glad I never stuck with that other fellow, I would have been miserable!
Sandra L. May 15, 2009, 11:47pm EDT
We don't keep in touch, but I do have fond memories.
Renee S. May 15, 2009, 11:48pm EDT
Nope, We were in grade school and he moved away.
Dena A. May 15, 2009, 11:48pm EDT
we don't keep in touch and what I remember most is my heart being broken!
Lisa Frost May 15, 2009, 11:50pm EDT
I haven't heard from him since he found out that I got pregnent a couple of years after we broke up. He was the sweetest guy I ever dated.
jewi lim May 15, 2009, 11:51pm EDT
Thanks for sharing.. ..
Sheila J. May 15, 2009, 11:54pm EDT
Funny you should ask. I was on the phone with him when I read your post. We aren't any good together in love, but we are great friends!
Cheryl W. May 15, 2009, 11:58pm EDT
His beautiful blue eyes...and how romantic he was. He also had such a wonderful sense of humor. We loved each other 33 years ago. We happened upon one another on Facebook a couple of months ago. He apologized for some bad decisions he made back then, and I let him know that I had forgiven him a long time ago. It was nice finding one another again. I've always wondered how his life has been. We both still have our old love letters we wrote to one another back when he was in the service....:) But we are different people now and have our own lives. Still, it was nice catching up...:)
Beth G. May 16, 2009, 12:02am EDT
I felt that my first love was my soul mate, because we had an amazing amount of things in common. It just about killed me when he told me our relationship was a mistake. I've been pretty skeptical of relationships ever since.
Linda T. May 16, 2009, 12:04am EDT
Pure teenage lust that is what I remember most. Back then I thought lust was love. I haven't seen him in over 20 years even though we live fairly close to each other.
Sandy (back in Ohio...blah!) May 16, 2009, 12:10am EDT
Yes, I remember my first love. I do not have any connections with him since I moved out of state and we no longer work at the same factory......I woul love to call him sometime just to chat.
Dan R. May 16, 2009, 12:17am EDT
Our parents seperated us, because we got caught in the wood shed....
Georgiana S. May 16, 2009, 12:17am EDT
I married him! 33 years later and a lot of miles wracked up in between. We divorced, pity I lost my old friend from a bad marriage!
Heather C. May 16, 2009, 12:18am EDT
I married my high school sweetheart who was my first real love, not boyfriend though. He kinda screwed up my life and when he kidnapped my kids, he had already broken my heart when he cheated on me, he finished demolishing my heart.

I did see him once after that. He asked me to remarry him. I was no longer the fool I was. He had lived with the same guy for 3 years of our 5 year marriage. He had many affairs on me with both sexes.

He told me on the phone after I got my kids back that I was his best friend. I wasn't going to be conned into going to another ice cream parlor like when he and his boyfriend ran out the door with my 3 and 4 year old. Duh. I have never spoken to him again. It was his parents that dragged me through the courts after that. My last ordeal with the courts was in 1984, 6 years after my kids were kidnapped, 4 years after I got them back in my care.

I have absolutely no interest in contact with him. Although God brought good out of what happened and I forgive him and his parents, I see no reason for me to have another go round with them. I did speak to his Mother in 1988 and I am at peace with the whole thing. I never got an apology from anyone either. Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself.

MC ~ That is so cool that you found each other on Facebook!
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. May 16, 2009, 12:22am EDT
Krystal ~ It sounds to me as if your first love may have been smitten by you. Too bad that it's way too late as you have a little happy family of your own now.

Best of wishes to you hon! Hope you're feeling well. ;)
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. May 16, 2009, 12:39am EDT
Cindy ~ Same asshole he ever was? Well alrighty then!
penni d. May 16, 2009, 12:40am EDT
I was 5 when he got married. I had loved him all my life and was so angry that at the reception, I kicked him in the shins...when his wife tried to grab me, I bit her.... I'm sure it was true love,lol, as I felt the same when we ran into each other after his divorce when I was 14. Sure didn't TELL him tho...he woulda had a heart attack..... :)
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. May 16, 2009, 12:42am EDT
Bryan ~ That's a long time to have some one in your heart on on your mind. All through school must have been tough! Why didn't you ever ask her out?

I'm sure you wish you had said something to her before you saw each the last at the class reunion. Sorry you didn't connect with you life long love. :(
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. May 16, 2009, 12:45am EDT
Michelle ~ I knew I'd better give a silly option on this poll as I didn't want anyone to think that I had no sense of humour.

Why should you? Ya got a point there girlie!
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. May 16, 2009, 12:51am EDT
MC ~ Of course you can vote more than once, especially if there is more than one old flame that you still remember. The more the merrier. ;p
Cathi L. May 16, 2009, 1:14am EDT
Actually I just reconnected with him recently. He was my first kiss, in 2nd grade, in the stairwell at the school fair. We held hands.

The last time I saw him was high school graduation. We reconnected on Facebook and he's lived a hard, hard life. But things have been pretty good for him lately and it was really great to catch up with him.

In high school he had long, long red hair and a brilliant smile.
Ruth Luce May 16, 2009, 1:26am EDT
=~/ I'm the only one that put why should I, HA!
Cathi L. May 16, 2009, 1:29am EDT
aaah! Dan! The woodshed!!
Jan S. May 16, 2009, 1:34am EDT
I haven't been in touch with him for 30 years. I'd like to see him and catch up. It would be fun. We wouldn't have had a happy marriage, but we had a lot of fun. It was sweet.
Jan S. May 16, 2009, 1:35am EDT
Thanks for posting to Fugitives from Ignorance, Conformity, and Peer Pressure
Jennifer Lee May 16, 2009, 1:47am EDT
My kindergarten boyfriend, Sean, used to write me love notes. We lived in the same neighborhood, but didn't keep in touch. *sigh*
Claudia B. May 16, 2009, 2:21am EDT
He was a musician and he would sing to me. I loved that!

My husband has multiple creative talents including playing various instruments but he has never sang a song to me. But, he has done some art work with me as his "muse".
Elizabeth B. May 16, 2009, 2:28am EDT
mine moved back to Ireland...have not seen him in well over 20 years :>{
Chana M. May 16, 2009, 3:33am EDT
First puppy love was a guy named Johnny who lived (sort of) across the street. His sister Denise was my best friend. That was also my first kiss (the chaste kind). I would have to say that my first real love was and is Hubby (20 years now!).
Rob Appell May 16, 2009, 5:54am EDT
Seeing how I haven't found the first love of my life yet; there's nothing to remember. As for the one I THOUGHT might be THE one; I refuse to even acknowledge the rotten bitch even exists. If I ever ran into her again; I'd spit right in her cheating face.
Robert - just a simple man - B. May 16, 2009, 7:46am EDT
Depends if you mean 'first love' or 'first sexual encounter'. Based on the photo, I assume you're after 'first love'. But still I'll give both.

My first love, Danielle, is the daughter of my cousin Sharon (from her first marriage before she married my cousin and had three more), so yeah, we're still acquaintances.

My first 'encounter' was with 'GW'. She was one of my cousin Bill's Army recruits. It was fantastic but she's gone now. She is officially listed as one of the Army's non-combative deaths during the time of the first Gulf War (is that what we're calling it)?
Robert - just a simple man - B. May 16, 2009, 7:47am EDT
Now if I had my way folks, I could also give an accounting of my 'first-time' with the author of this post. But it hasn't happened - Yet. lol.
donna h. May 16, 2009, 8:38am EDT
havent seen him in 27 years, no I will never forget him
Yvonne B. May 16, 2009, 8:51am EDT
I haven't seen him in forty years....would love to talk to him. I would like him to see that I have "grown" up.
Chris W. May 16, 2009, 9:03am EDT
no, I have not seen or spoken to that person since. Personally, I think it's a good argument against teen pregnancy, the fact that we really know so little about each other in high school. Creating a reason to spend your life with someone you do not really know, bad plan.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. May 16, 2009, 2:05pm EDT
Deloris ~ You saw him at your 50th class reunion and are still communicating? That is wonderful! That is definitely a long time and being able to be friends after such a long time is even better!

Good for you!
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. May 16, 2009, 2:06pm EDT
Larry ~ there were so many..
Larry H., May 15, 2009, 11:44pm EDT

You sound like I do!! ;p Where to start, where to start...
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. May 16, 2009, 2:08pm EDT
Eileen ~ Too bad that guy from high school couldn't wait for you. That was his loss! I am glad that you met someone who realized your worth and was willing to wait for you.

Good for you!
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. May 16, 2009, 2:09pm EDT
Sandra ~ Too bad you no longer keep in touch but I think having the good memories is sometimes better than keeping in touch with someone who would only bring you back bad memories.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. May 16, 2009, 2:10pm EDT
Renee ~ Nope, We were in grade school and he moved away.
Renee S., May 15, 2009, 11:48pm EDT

Awwwww. :(
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. May 16, 2009, 2:12pm EDT
Dena ~ we don't keep in touch and what I remember most is my heart being broken!
Dena A., May 15, 2009, 11:48pm EDT

Awww, I'm so sorry that this happened to you.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. May 16, 2009, 2:13pm EDT
Lisa ~ I haven't heard from him since he found out that I got pregnent a couple of years after we broke up. He was the sweetest guy I ever dated.
Lisa Frost, May 15, 2009, 11:50pm EDT

Awwww. You ladies are going to make me cry. :O)
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. May 16, 2009, 2:14pm EDT
Jewi ~ Thanks for sharing??
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. May 16, 2009, 2:15pm EDT
Sheila ~ Funny you should ask. I was on the phone with him when I read your post. We aren't any good together in love, but we are great friends!
Sheila J., May 15, 2009, 11:54pm EDT

How nice for you! That is super cool! I too have ex's loves that I have been able to keep in contact with.
Clifford N. May 16, 2009, 2:46pm EDT
Interesting discussion here.

I lost contact with my first love during high school in a move and have many times thought of trying to find her just to know what happened to her. Made a couple of efforts and came up with nothing. I still dream about her on occasion.
Janie E. May 16, 2009, 6:33pm EDT
He was a tall drink of water with a gorgeous face. We made quite an odd couple because he was at least 6ft tall and I'm 4'9". Anywho, he was a player, which contributed to our break up. I'm glad that we dumped each other because then I met my hubby, George!! Well, actually, I had seen George riding his bike while I was on the front porch of my house!! LOL

The last time I spoke to my old flame was when my Mom was trying to get us back together again!!
Cathi L. May 16, 2009, 6:42pm EDT
Now if I had my way folks, I could also give an accounting of my 'first-time' with the author of this post. But it hasn't happened - Yet. lol.

Well make one up! I'm dying to know!
Susan Roberts May 16, 2009, 7:49pm EDT
my first love was in his twenties, I was 5 I think. He rented a room at our house. He took me to the store and bought me ice cream when I was sick. He broke my heart when he took me over to his girlfriends house and he kissed her in front of me!! His name was Norman and he was the handsomest man I had ever seen. He got married to that same girl. Norman passed away a couple of years ago, after I got to talk to him on the phone and we got to talk about a lot of things. I got to talk to his wife and she laughed when I said that he had been my first love. I keep in touch with his niece on line.
Dorine H. May 16, 2009, 9:29pm EDT
He was amazingly romantic! And full of all the lovely details that make you feel special. After we broke up he tried to get back together again, but it just wasn't working for me. We have not been in touch since 1975.
anne ( way 2 crazy of a life ) c. May 16, 2009, 9:50pm EDT
i do remember mine it was my highschool sweet heart, we were together almost 8 years
Elizabeth (This place IS my Soap Opera) O. May 16, 2009, 10:23pm EDT
Over the years I've realized he looked like a chubby Tom Cruise. And no, absolutely not. If we were to EVER be in the same room, he wouldn't leave it intact.
David P. May 18, 2009, 11:31am EDT
My first love was a girl I dated for 2 years when I was in high school. She looked a lot like Hayden Panitierre. Super nice girl, who if I was going to live my life up north, I probably would have married. But I couldn't take cold weather and left for college in Miami. I never saw her again but she married a doctor and has two kids and my sister sometimes sees her.

When I started my job here in Miami, I fell for a secretary who was divorced with a child about 8. It was mostly physical but she was very nice too. I took her and her child to the circus and we had a nice time. Soon after, she married someone else from the firm and moved out west. I've never seen her again, but the weird thing is there is a girl working in our firm now that looks just like her. It could be one of her daughters or maybe a relative. I never asked her but whenever I see her I can't stop looking at her and wondering. The secretary had a unique beautiful face that I've never seen again until this new employee. But I'm not about to start up any office romances ever again. Very difficult.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. May 18, 2009, 1:36pm EDT
Cheryl ~ Wow! He must have been someone very special if you still have his love letters and he has yours! That is super cool and neat that ya'll were able to contact each other recently and catch up.

I guess time does move on since you both have your own lives and are mature enough to realize that you can't turn back the hands of time.
Missy Cline May 18, 2009, 3:15pm EDT
first innocent prepuberty boyfriend was Paul...first grade. we were the smallest in our class. he was a major sweet-talker and a player at 6 years old! lol I always figured he must have had an older brother he picked up stuff from. he was a sweetie.

first 'real' love was and is my husband David. we started dating in the summer before our senior year in high school.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. May 18, 2009, 3:52pm EDT
Beth ~ I felt that my first love was my soul mate, because we had an amazing amount of things in common. It just about killed me when he told me our relationship was a mistake. I've been pretty skeptical of relationships ever since.
Beth G., May 16, 2009, 12:02am EDT

Oh gosh hon. That would have killed me and caused me to become a Nun. So sorry this happened to you!
Peter Joseph Swanson May 18, 2009, 3:56pm EDT
Well, mine was a secret. A secret to him. He was straight. But I'm sure he knew. I think he's glad he lives far away from me, now. It's very very VERY embarrassing.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. May 19, 2009, 2:00am EDT
Linda ~ Pure teenage lust that is what I remember most. Back then I thought lust was love. I haven't seen him in over 20 years even though we live fairly close to each other.
Linda T., May 16, 2009, 12:04am EDT

I too was confused and thought that lust was love. I don't know whether I could keep from being in contact with someone I once loved if they lived that close to me. I guess I'm just a sentimental fool.
Dawn (purple fly on the wall) Jun 13, 2009, 3:05pm EDT

he was my 1st kiss. he was my first love and he'll be my last
Dawn (purple fly on the wall) Jun 13, 2009, 3:05pm EDT

he died in 2006
