Absolutely not. I don't believe that for a second.

Yes, I will say you don't FORGET your first love. No one does. It was a pivotal time in one's life. But I don't believe that you NEVER get over them or you are NEVER the same.

I remember my first love. I remembered how wonderful it was. I also remember how terribly it ended. And for a while I had trouble getting over it, NOT because of how much I missed him or wanted to be with him but because, but because it ended badly and I blamed myself for it.

But I did get over it. And I met someone absolutely fantastic and wonderful and we've been together two years. And the future definitely looks bright. So yes, I got over my first love, and no, I did go on to have an even better love relationship.

Here's the thing about missing your first love: people move on and as time goes by they chance. Say you broke up with someone two years ago and miss them terribly. The thing is, they have changed who they are by then. So you wouldn't necessarily be in love with THEM as you are the image of them and possibly the image of yourself.

Life moves forward whether you like it or not. Better to move with it than not.

Now I am not saying this is the case for everyone. I've heard people describe their first love changed things completely and they were never the same. I am not saying that isn't true.

But I am saying it's not a "rule" that that happens.
