What is your puppy love/first love story?

[Coraline Jones]

Thread starter: We sort of have the same story.

Elementary din yun. It started with kulitan, I hated him for always teasing me, it turned out he liked me kaya ganun sya. My happiest time with him was during a Simbang Gabi when he held my hand. I knew then he was special.

We never parted in good terms because he thought I liked this other guy who's also interested in me. I really didn't. So when I went to Manila for highschool and would go home in the province, we wouldn't talk and one time my friends told me he already has a girlfriend who's also my friend. They didn't last long either. We were always so civil with each other and knew that there's still something going on with us but it just didn't happen for us.

When I went to college, I had a boyfriend who is still my boyfriend right now. I would still go to the province and see him since he's also a barkada. This same guy texted my boyfriend asking him to take care of me. That was fine since my bf just took it lightly. The last time I was there, his room mate told me that he's been saying I'm two timing my boyfriend with him, which is not true. I was really disappointed in him that time.

But we're still civil after all he did because the truth is, he's still one of the closest friends I have ever had and eventhough I don't count it as first love, there was really a bond or spark, whatever it is, between us. I haven't gone home in a long time so I don't know if he's already married or have another girlfriend.

my girl classmate before when i was in grade 3 parang may gusto sakin ayaw lang magsalita...she gives me collectible items in heart shapes, lilibre niya ako pag recess, magdadala pa ng mga foods para sakin..sabi ko nga, okay to ha..pinapakan ako...ewan ko lang kung may gusto siya sakin pero wala naman siyang sinasabi...classmates kami ulit nung hischool pero nawala na ang magic niya kasi yumabang na siya..di ko na rin siya gusto...

I'm actually more than happy to tell mine while the song that reminds me of this guy is being played. He really was my first love and the maxim "first love never dies" does apply.

I met him in a one-week youth gathering of high school student leaders in the province. I was turning 15. He was turning 17. He was not the one who first caught my attention as I had a bf that time. Boy was I to my surprise that when our common friends started making their move in linking us together, it led me to finding out that my current bf at that time who also was my first bf, was really just a puppy love, product of adolescent curiosity in trying out relationships.

The one week was bliss. Really. Immediately upon going back to school, I broke up with my first bf and happily immersed myself in a long-distance relationship with the guy. Take note: I was studying and living in Sta. Rosa City, Laguna, 1st district. He's studying in San Pablo City, 3rd district Laguna and living in Dolores, Quezon. That time hindi pa uso ang cellphone/SMS and mobile phones were strictly limited to those who really could afford. Wala pa siyang landline. I got a valentine's card from him and that's all I ever received. But nagtiyaga talaga ako sa snail mail, each mail sent with utmost care and love.

The relationship lasted for seven months. After the youth week, we only got to meet twice but never really interacted because said meetings were part of our duties as junior officers of the province. Each and every single day, I kept my ears open in case I would hear news about him. He went to UPLB for college and through common friends, hinihingi ko any news about him. Kung mapapadaan ang car namin anywhere near UPLB, San Pablo or Dolores, Quezon, I was always alert, keeping my eyes open just in case lang na makita ko siya, kahit isang fleeting na view lang, okay na ako. I think I once hallucinated or was it really him that I saw somewhere.

Sa last naming pagkikita for the end of our term, he broke up with me, saying na it won't work out. Todo iyak ang lola ninyo pauwi, believing, for an entire six years and a half na it was purely because of long distance relationship why we broke up.

And yes, yes, thank you Friendster, I finally got to meet him again last year. Like I said, I believed it was purely because of the long distance aspect that's why we broke up. It was only late last year when I learned that we both were keeping diff beliefs why we broke up. Miscommunication on his part thinking na I cheated on him (yeah, the first bf). We both were very surprised to hear each other's story.

At that time when I met him last year, I was committed to somebody else but I felt the same old feeling, same old longing. I set it aside, controlled it, out of respect and love for my beau at that time.

But there's really no telling, is there? Now I'm back to singlehood. He's still single. And just two weeks ago, nakasakay ko sa bus yung common friends namin na couple din during that time. That very night, nagkabalikan sila after almost seven years, their break-up coinciding with the very day and place of our break-up!

And just this morning, I sent him an "application letter" with my attached professional c.v. The application letter was for the position of "FRIEND". I had it sent through our company messenger. Balak ko sana ideliver personally kaya lang may pictorial ako later. Baliw daw ako to the highest level sabi ng friends ko. But there's really nothing I won't do. I am risking it. I don't want to end up regretting that I did nothing knowing that I still have something for him after all these years. I won't let our communication be cut off anymore.

Siyempre nauntog ako sa wall, literally, sa pangungulit sa messenger namin kung ano reaction niya when he saw the delivery receipt and from whom the sealed letter came from.

He smiled daw.

share din ako ng story ko...

i was 16 when i met my first love. he was 19 naman. he was working as a part time tutor so i was one of his students. at first it was purely professional until we started talking about our interests and our lives. unti unti, we became really close. i fell in love with him pero sya, he was apprehensive about his feeling kse siguro he felt i was too young and he was concentrated sa studies nya. naging parang MU lang ***. we didn't want to take the risk.

when i started college, he was in third year na. we were still civil but d na *** like before. but i still loved him. after he graduated from college, he told me he has a gf na.when they broke up, we started communicating again. he had to go abroad for work and then i fell in love with someone else. i had my first bf then. basta this scenario kept on repeating. if i am in a relationship, sya naman single. if may gf naman sya, ako naman ang single. eventually, we lost touch.

its been 10 years since i first fell in love with him and i dont know na what's going on in his life. last i heard, he has a long time gf na. he is still in pinas while me naman, i left to work abroad. now i have a bf na rin. up to now, i still remember my first love. sya kse *** naging basis ko of my ideal guy. hirap syang pantayan. but i know na wala na talagang chance for us. i'm keeping our memories na lang tutal naman i know we are both happy na with our own separate lives.

i met my first bf nung first yr highschool ako. magka-classmate kami sa u.a.e. at the time. madami ding nanligaw sa akin noon, pero wala akong sinasagot, sabi nga ng mga friends ko matigas daw puso ko. then, they were suprised one day nang malaan nila na sinagot ko na yung isa kong suitor! i didn't think it would be such a great feeling, but it was. we didn't live in the same city so, mostly sa school lang kami nagkikita. but when we were in school, we spent a lot of time together. he wrote me love letters. hehehe. corny, pero i still keep them with me today. we lasted for about 16 months. we sort of grew apart in those last few months. he joined this youth group and he said he spent a lot of time with his friends. Then, one day, my family found out na we were finally going to Canada within the next few months. I told my bf, and he became upset, but he understood na it was best for me. A few weeks after I told him na pupunta na ako ng Canada, he talked to me on the phone and nakipag-break up sya sa akin. He said it would be unrealistic if we continued the relationship because we never know kung magkikita pa kami uli. I couldn't do anything coz I knew, it would be really hard if we even tried to hold on to that relationship. I was crying for weeks. What really crushed me was when I heard from a friend na one week after me and my bf broke up, he started dating this other girl na he met from the youth group. But after a few days, nag-break up din sila. buti nga! Some friends told me na he was just trying to get me over with by going out with some one else (but I thought that was too fast). Some said he just made an excuse na I was going to Canada, kaya nakipag-break up sya sa akin so he can go out with this girl. pero even noong nasa Canada na ako, I still couldn't get him over with. It probably took me almost a year to recover. Up to now, hindi ko pa rin alam what he was thinking when he broke up with me. The End.

I guess because it was my first, I gave it my all. You know that feeling when you first fall inlove, you think this is the person you wanna spend the rest of you life with. And of course, dito rin nangyari yung mga "firsts", kaya syemps, memorable!
