When was the first time you fell in love with someone?

[CursedSoul]

I was in early school and too young to even understand what love was, but it was a very tingly and funny kinda feeling right in my tummy, felt like tickling....lol
I could explain it big but i'm still recalling the exact happening, its too vague to even think of...what about you??

I haven't yet. It was lust i think.

Tingly feeling for a girl when I was in the 5th class of elementary school (well, Dutch 5th year, IDK the English/American school systems too well). I even competed with some other boy for her :bigsmile: . But I was too shy and it didn't go anywhere. Normal at that age I suppose, it's mostly just playing. But I always had that melancholic/tingly feeling and still associate a lot of late 90's music with my childish love feelings of that period.

When I was like 12 I think. I fell for this girl called Holly. She wasn't amazingly beautiful (though to my eyes she was perfect hehe) But there was just something about her, I felt intoxicated just being around her

We never dated, but it didn't really matter, I loved her so much and we ended up good friends, and just making her laugh and smile made me happy lol. She did kiss me at our school leaving Prom though

I didn't even realize I loved her til much later in life, I don't know if that makes sense... I mean I knew I was crazy about her obviously at the time, but I don't think you truly know the difference between lust/love and just attraction till you get a bit older.

I don't think I've ever been in love before. Though I did have multiple crushes in the past. In elementary school, I had crushes on several boys but tried to deny it. I even told myself I hate one of them. I was too embarassed to tell my parents (who are sort of strict) and my friends. I was very conflicted and confused, didn't know how to react to such feelings of infatuation.

I don't know what it is. The word love seems very limp to me. Such as God or help... old people's way of things. Also, that 'fall in' is 100% undefined to me.

My parents didn't love me. Mum lied to the other family that she did.

I got limp in my knees the day that two girls in the changing room (lockers) ripped off knickers and raised skirts to the two of us. Age... 4, 5, or older.

Being serious about many girlfriends, from duration 4.5, 1 or 2 years, or a few months, weeks or days. Looking back, just dunno.

Exactly the same as any job. They walk the other way. Perhaps I'm boring. Actually, that might be the key reason. Maybe if someone listened to what I said, that might make all the difference. Highly opinionated and full of thoughts on a myriad of subjects... to debate. Perhaps this is far too much for anyone, if their entire life of 40 years only ever consisted of no more than 'hello. You alright?'

Love or more like a crush?

..crush around 10 I suppose.

Neighbor boy of a friend. He picked on me the way little boys and girls typically do. I didn't reciprocate interest, more like I couldn't believe he liked me and thought it was gross, so I was mean once he stopped being mean and displayed signs of attraction. But deep down, a spark of interest was there.

 

[Hellhound]

Around 2007, I think.

 

[miserablecow]

I haven't experienced love.

 

[WishingICould]

When i was a kid me and this boy were friends and hung out all the time. He was really sweet and had a crush on me all the time we were friends (6 years). We sort of grew apart and he's married now with a kid so i guess he was my first "love" if you can call it that.

I don't think I've ever experienced what most would consider "being in love", but I had very strong feelings for someone this past year. I don't think I knew him well enough to love him, though. I think if it had worked out and we had dated for a while, I just may have fallen in love with him. That sort of thing is very subjective and has a lot of gray area, though.

Other than that I've had crushes or infatuation, all pretty immature now that I look back on it - nothing serious or with great potential. I'm still pretty young, though, so I suppose that's normal.


...damn. I used "though" three times in two small paragraphs. Stuff like that annoys me but I couldn't think of a better way to phrase it. Not... that it really matters in a forum post...

 

[awkwardamanda]

Never. Thought so at the time. I've only had one boyfriend and I don't think it was until afterward that I realized I was never that into him. I just didn't know any better. I've had stronger feelings for a crush, and that was only infatuation, really.

I got limp in my knees the day that two girls in the changing room (lockers) ripped off knickers and raised skirts to the two of us. Age... 4, 5, or older.

What did they show you, Minnie Mouse panties?! (Ok, you don't have to answer that.)

 

[planemo]

the term love is very subjective. i think the word crush would be more appropriate. i was in grade 1 when i had a major crush on the cleverest girl in class.

 

[Razzlecherry]

I don't want to use the term "love", but there was this one girl that I really dug during freshman year of High School. She was really funny and beautiful. She sat next to me during computer lab and would chat with me a bit.

It was pretty obvious she liked me back, one time she asked me to tie a bracelet onto her wrist. (I failed at that.)

One day she asked if I wanted to tango, or whatever ya say. I froze. Just shook my head and continued with my work. She asked me the next day and I did the same thing.

I guess it was kind of rude, but my insides were racing. I was truly terrified. Wasn't really in that position before and didn't know what to do.

I'm a lot worse. I often times use the same word in the same paragraph! Wait, I just used "same" in the...uh, uh GRRRRRRR same sentence! TWICE! Yeah, that irritates the heck out of me too!

Getting back to the original thread. I was once in love with my friend in college. Unfortunately, she had a boyfriend. I was so miserable and depressed. It took me a long time to get over her!

I fell in what-I-thought-was-love when I was 27.
That was such a soul destroying experience, the thought of "falling in love" again sends fear and trepidation through me.
