When did you get your first boyfriend/girlfriend?
How long did it take for you to completely get over your first love?
I just got together with my ex (who is also my first love) who i hadn't seen since our rather turbulent split six months ago. this brought up a lot of intense feelings of longing and loss and after we parted ways i realized that i am not over her yet even though i thought i was. So, How long did it take you guys to get over your first love, and is there any advice you have for a young man like myself? At what age did you find the ONE? Who was your first love, and how did it work out? How long did it take you to get over your first love or did you ever actually get over them? What helped you forget them? How long did it take you to get over your first love?
It's been over 5 months, and I'm not over him at all. I still love him just as much. We don't talk much, but it doesn't help.
The breakup wasn't bad. The main cause was because he is studying abroad in Germany until next July. I was supposed to graduate next May, and he said that he couldn't ask me to give up my life for him after that since he has another year after me (except now I won't graduate until December 2014 due to adding a minor).
We had a fantastic relationship. We never fought and we loved each other greatly. The breakup was basically out of the blue, which I think makes it hard, and because he essentially told me that if he wasn't gone, we would still be together. How long did it take for you to get into a relationship with your SO? My boyfriend broke up with me before Christmas and I was literally TORN to pieces, and as much as I keep telling myself I'm over him, I'm not. He was my first boyfriend and maybe that's the reason I keep trying to stay in contact, but he wants nothing to do with me any more. And it breaks my heart. We were best friends from 15 years old and then we went out for 2 years until I was 18, he was 19. Shit happens and he moved away and didn't want the bother of a long distance relationship. He wouldn't answer my phone calls, he didn't reply to my letters, he just didn't give a shit. So I thought going to his new city would fix everything. Spent money on flights and trains and we were reunited and it felt like normal again, I met his new friends and loved them all!! Had the most amazing few days and cried when I had to leave. He texted my mum to tell her he thought I was wonderful and that all his friends liked me a lot and that he missed me every day. Life was back on track.
The weeks went by and things dragged again, the same stuff happened until one night, he texted me that he'd cheated on me and if that wasn't bad enough, he 'told his mum we weren't a thing anymore'. It's now April and I can't stop thinking about him. I keep trying to stay in contact and he says we can be friends but he's being so dry when i talk to him, probably for my own good. I've kissed a few boys since and had cuddles with a long time 'crush' after a night out but nothing gives me even nearly the same feeling as seeing him even just smile does. How much longer do I have to go of this?! And how can I speed up the process because by the looks of his social media he is definitely over me and has been for a long time. I hate that I must've been so much more emotionally invested than him for 2 whole years! How long did it take you to get over your first love and what helped the most? How many of you are still with your first love? You know, the first person you really fell for, person you lost your virginity to etc. I'm just curious how often it actually works out. How old were you when you got your first boyfriend/girlfriend? When did you get your first boyfriend/girlfriend? I was in my second year of uni so I really felt like I was behind, but looking back that lead me to rush into a relationship with someone I wasn't really compatible with, just because he was nice and I wanted to be in love. I was also pretty immature, so obviously it didn't work out, but I learned a lot of lessons
Help me get into reading.
So I'm not sure if this is the wrong place to ask but who better to ask than all of you also if you'd like don't bother upvoting, answers well suffice.
How can I get into reading on a steady daily basis. I know it might be as obvious as just pick up a book and read but I have a hard time focusing on the book most of the time. I feel that I'm a bit impatient. I love a good story and have managed to read more than a couple books but I would like to do it more often. So basically how did you guys get to reading so much? Anyone else have my problem? What are some good tips to make this a habit? When did you get into your first relationship?
I wonder what’s the average age people start dating and getting into relationships? Also, how many relationships have you been in? How old are you? I’m almost 36. And I didn’t get into my first and only relationship until I was 28. I’ve always had a very hard time bonding with people. So this is it for me. I met him on a dating website. I have no idea how people meet and form bonds in real life. Grade 9, which means that we would have 13-14 years old. I remember lots of hand holding with him, and my first kiss at my 14th birthday party. Then I remember feeling so devestated two weeks later when he ended it. I thought it was the worst pain in the world, I had no idea about the relationships in my future.
14 year old male here, I went to a Christian camp because of a scholarship, I met her at said camp and all everyone joked about us dating, fast forward 2 weeks after camp we met up at a park and held hands and later asked her to be my girlfriend officially, she thought for a while because another boy left her for a different girl, glad to say she’s the happiest anyone has made me and she says the same. How old were you when you had your first boyfriend/girlfriend, and how long did you date?
What was your first boyfriend/girlfriend like? When did you get your first girlfriend/boyfriend? I'm 19 yo and never had a girlfriend. I live with my mother, but I've got everything else together. Car, job, money, going to community college, fairly good looking. I know I'm straight for sure. I have no problems talking to women, I've just never landed any dates. Any girl I'm interested in is either taken, leading me on, or is gay. How long did it take you guys to find the right one? I’ve never even held hands with a guy or anything and I feel like I’m missing out on the “teenage romance” experience. It’s probably because I’m leaving school in like 2 months and it’s like, after you leave school, you’re not really a “teenager” anymore. So I was wondering, when did you guys have your first relationships?
Sophomore year of high school I was asked out by this boy that I knew through a new friend. We dated for the entirety of high school. Shortly after i graduated I ran into him at a concert and I ran right up to him, only to be ignored completely. Afterwards he broke up with me over text. Turns out the dude had been telling everyone in school for three years that I was horrible and dismissive, when in reality I had severe social anxiety.
What got you into reading fiction?
I've been an avid non-fiction reader for most of my life and have always had a strong aversion to reading fiction. I find that I just get bored so easily and I think "what's the point?" I've found that I can at least improve my life by applying what I read in non-fiction. I'm keen to hear from people who were perhaps in a similar boat but have since had the world of fiction open up to them somehow. I'd love to hear about how this happened. I feel like I might be missing out on a lot but I've really struggled to have my interest gripped by any fiction writing. What book got you back into reading? It’s so common for readers to fall out of the habit of regularly reading and then get intimidated or discouraged from picking it up again be it because they can’t find the time among many other reasons. Sometimes we just need the right book to get us back in gear, what book did that for you and why? Anyone else struggle with actually getting themselves to read? If so, any advice on how I get my reading stamina back?
I used to read loads. I could devour a 700 page book in a day, now I struggle with even 30 pages. I pick up a book and read for an hour, then never go back to it. I'm so tired of it. I have so many amazing books still to read but I just can't do it. I also find my ability to remember what I've read quite bad. Some stuff sticks but it's really random what does or doesn't. How do I get out of this reading slump? Who here was really bad at reading books once but overcame it? How did you do it?
I've considered posting this for months but felt too embarrassed. But here finally goes.. I need help with this issue I have with reading books! I've never been good with reading books. In my 32 year old life I've probably only read like 7 books. But despite this I kind of love books. So much knowledge and indirect experience is lost if you don't read books, I know this! Right now I got 3 books queued up to read, but my issues remains. I'm more motivated than ever to improve my reading. When I read it usually goes slow and I have to re-read sections cause the sentences didn't stick with me so to speak. Either it's bad memory or bad focus or a combination. I feel like I read slower than other people. If I would estimate, I'd say it takes me like 2-3 minutes to read the 2 open pages, including me re-reading many of the sentences I read. I'm usually not bad with focusing on a task! On the contrary. But with books, well I don't know what the problem is.. It could be that the feeling of holding papers with text while sitting still makes me (wrongly) feel like I'm not doing anything useful which adds to me not being able to focus good. I dated a guy all through high school. He was my first love. But we didn't work out because he would "test" me to see if I would still love him if he did this to me or if this happened. Example: he once told me that he got a girl pregnant while we were broken up. I found out she was still a virgin and had turned him down many times. He only said this "to see what I would do." I left is what I did.
