We've got the TV on in the background and this show came on, it got me thinking... Do you know what happened to your first love? Who was it? Are you still in touch?
I love love stories!
Mine is in San Diego, we actually had dinner together last month for the first time in 17 years, crazy!

He is snoring in my bed at the moment. And tomorrow we will celebrate our daughter's birthday. We met on my 18th birthday. we dated other people after we broke up in high school and then he went away to boot camp and other military training (reservist) but we got back together our sophomore year of college. Actually one of the reasons we broke up in high school was that he was feeling too serious too quickly and it scared him (he told me he thought he loved me after only a week, and he even mentioned the idea of marriage at one point.) We pretty much knew when we got back together that we would be getting married eventually. Been married 16 years so far!

Sure do, he's gay and living in Dubai...how's that for strange? He was my high school boyfriend, my first kiss at 13 and we did that "on again off again" high school romance thing for almost 5 years.
He came out the year after high school...I was so relieved! We stayed friends and I house shared with his sister for a time when I first moved out. He moved to a different state and started his own business and didn't pay enough tax, it took a few years but he finally got caught, he got massive fine and was lucky to avoid jail, so he went to work in the Middle East to earn more money. That was about 15 years ago and he rarely comes home anymore. We catch up every few years and I am still friends with his two sisters, so I always know where he is and what he's doing.

We are Facebook friends. He is a minister with a house full of kids. I probably should have predicted that - I knew he would end up teaching in some way.

His name was Paul Sullivan, we lived on Lewis Ct in Huntington, NY, and we were in 3rd grade together. Alas, I last saw him in 1973.

Reconnected a few years back when we were both single, had a great time, and went our separate ways. I will pretty much always live out West and he will pretty much stay back East. Other than that, we are a great match and I will always appreciate our connection.

Realized we made better friends than boyfriend and girlfriend and are still best friends twenty five years later. We talk several times a week and see each other several times a year. He still lives in Oregon and has been married and divorced twice. Has two kids and when they come to Southern Ca. He and the kids always stay with DH and I. Likewise when I visit Oregon I stay with he and the kids.

I have no idea - his family moved away in 8th grade and I was heartbroken My true love came along many, many years later. Due to some interesting timing, his first love wanted to become my BFF when we became engaged. She was married with 3 kids and her husband was always very wary of my DH because my DH & his wife were first loves (even engaged). Her husband was very happy to see us become engaged and suddenly very open to us hanging out with them once he was convinced my now DH wasn't going to steal his wife away. pjaye something similar to that happened to a friend of mine but it gets even more interesting. Great friends in HS, started dating in college. He left her, came out and moved across the country. She was heartbroken and we were still in touch for a few years. I lost touch with her and then heard through the grapevine at out most recent HS reunion (I didn't attend, but a mutual friend did) that she moved to the same city, also came out and that they have a biological child together (each in long term same sex relationships).

He is happily married to the woman he started dating a few months after I broke up with him. They just had their 23rd anniversary and have three lovely daughters. I am Facebook friends with him and his wife (who was a high school friend of mine). They are a great match - far better than we ever were. I really did love him, but for a long time was blind to the differences of what we wanted from life. I wanted to move away, go to college, have a career, and then, maybe, have a family. And I knew I wasn't going to marry my high school boyfriend - I had too many other experiences I wanted to have. He wanted us to get married, me to stay in the area, him to enlist in the military, and start a family young. There's nothing wrong with what he wanted, it just wasn't for me. Luckily, his now-wife wanted the same things and they are wonderful together

Interesting! He always says it's lucky that one of us was gay otherwise we would have definitely ended up together & got married...and one of us would now be in prison for killing the other! (we don't know who would have snapped first, but one of us would of eventually!) The baby thing was never on the cards for him, he isn't you're "nurturing" type of gay man, he's more the "get those dirty smelly babies away from me and bring them back when they are 25 and appreciate a good red wine and can hold a decent conversation".

I better never see my first love again as long as I live. And If I do it might be the first time I go to jail.

I married him. We met at 17 but did not marry until we were 29.
My first boyfriend was not my first love and I knew it then too. He is living one town over from our hometown. Seems to be married with kids. Looking at his FB page, he still has the same hobbies he did back then and seems to have the same friends too.

I'm friends with him on FB. The first time I saw a picture of him I thought "what was I thinking" ...funny how your feelings change as you get older. It was nice to reconnect with him because I did enjoy his family but I dodge a bullet with not marrying him.

My first love was also my first kiss at 16. We stayed good friends, and he even brought us a housewarming gift when my husband and I moved back to my hometown. He doesn't live here anymore, so we keep in contact via FB.
He's the only "ex" that I don't regret. He's a great guy, and if we had been older, I could have easily married him.

My first love lives in Olympia, WA. I was born in Las Vegas but we lived in the northwest for a few years when I was a teenager. We met when we were both 13 and it was love at first sight. Like skyrockets! We dated and broke up because he cheated on me. We moved back to LV right after I turned 15. I didn't talk to him for several years. I found him on MySpace in 2009 and we are now friends on FB. But I think he's a loser and has several children all with different women. I am very happily married to my dh and have a better life than I could've had with him. My dh is the love of my life!! ?

I'm married to him We dated for a couple of years, broke up and went our separate ways for a few years but never lost touch. I went to Australia to spend time with my boyfriend who was travelling on his gap year but it was obvious it wasn't going to work out. Dh (as he is now) met me at the airport when I got back, with roses.....and here we are 30+ years later

I married mine too. Started "going out" in senior school & stated together for a couple of years (he was at college by then, he's 3 years older than me). Split for about 6 months when he bumped into my brother in law, told him he was miserable & BIL said "well, she's fine now but you should give her a call..." We've been together ever since, married for 21 years

If you mean the boy I was engaged to at 6 with plans to marry when we were 21 (I SO wish I had kept the note he wrote then!!) then he got old and fat and had at least 4 kids when I last saw him.
If you mean the boy I met at 14 and married at 17, he's asleep in the other room. Been married to him for 42 years next month.

I'm not sure what he's up to. I do know he's still in the area as I see him around town once in a while. Never talk to him though. Last time I did, I had a hard time not focusing on this weird growth on his tongue. Since I often need to read lips to understand people, that was all I could see. Now if I see him, I move on in a different direction because I'm afraid that growth is still there. He's still fat and once was still rocking a mullet. Oh, what the hell was I thinking? His family was a hot mess then and still is.

45 Years later - he lives less than 10 miles from me and we still see each other at social functions. He never married, but is a great guy. He and my DH are friendly and used to play softball together.
