Who was your first boyfriend?Joel
How long did you date this person?6 months
Do you still keep in contact with them?nope, I was so heartbroken
What would happen if you ran into said person on the street?My heart would beat uncontrollably. I get nervous just thinking about it. He was my first love, I lost my virginity to him, and he dumped me after a month away at college.

baystateapple · March 2010

Who was your first boyfriend? My high school sweetheart, Dan. I had "boyfriends" before him, but he was my first love and my first kiss.

How long did you date this person? Seventeen days shy of a year.

Do you still keep in contact with them? Eh. He dumped me because I wouldn't have sex with him, then married the first girl he DID have sex with, after he got her pregnant during her senior year of college. They have two kids now, and they live with his parents. He still calls me and other people from high school occasionally.

What would happen if you ran into said person on the street? We DO run into each other sometimes, and it's always awkward, at least for me. He always acts like we're best friends, like he didn't break my heart and wasn't a jerk to me for two years afterwards, and like nothing has changed. He doesn't seem to realize that EVERYTHING has changed, that we're (at least I am) totally different from the way we were back then. He also asks all the time if we can hang out together. Uh, you have a wife and two babies. You need to focus on them, and your life with them, instead of asking your ex-girlfriend if you can hang out one-on-one.

Who was your first boyfriend? Jono
How long did you date this person? A year and three months

Do you still keep in contact with them? All the time

What would happen if you ran into said person on the street? I'd give him a hug and go get coffee. We've known each other since we were 9, and we're still really good friends. I definitely think of him more as a friend than as an ex-BF, and FI knows him and likes him too.

Who was your first (real) boyfriend? Jonathan

How long did you date this person?
6 months. Then we were best friends for the rest of HS, even though we were still very much into each other.

Do you still keep in contact with them?
Yes. we have quite a teenage angst-ridden history after that 6 months. I have gone years not talking to him, but now we check in with each other every few months.

What would happen if you ran into said person on the street?
I'd run up to him and give him a big old bear hug. I haven't seen him in about 5 years (a very awkward encounter after which we didn't speak for almost 2 years). I would also introduce myself to his wife, because I've never met her and I'm very interested in who he chose to marry.

suz62984 · March 2010

Name? Chris or CHRISTOPHER as his mother would always tell me ("if i wanted to name him Chris I would have")
Time Dating? 3.5 months
Breakup? He had just moved from Kentucky when we got together so I was a bit of a rebound girl from his serious ex at home. Of course, being my first BF i didn't realize this. He used the excuse that I was too close with a guy friend to break it off...on the same night I totaled my first car. Man, that was a bad day!
If I saw him? We actually had the same group of friends so we stayed friends. It was awkward at first but we got over it. I started dating one of our friends and he started dating. We actaully did a double date to prom. If I saw him on the street I would say hi and we would probably chat for a minute then go on our way.

Who was your first boyfriend?

Ricky

How long did you date this person?

Just over a year.

Do you still keep in contact with them?

Not at all.

What would happen if you ran into said person on the street?

I don't know. I broke up with him for my DH and they weren't exactly friends in high school (more of Ricky being a stupid ass really). I'm surprised we don't run into each other because we're from a VERY small town in Florida and as far as I know he still lives there.

saxy414 · March 2010

Who was your first boyfriend? Aaron

How long did you date this person? About three years...which seems ridiculous for a high school relationship

Do you still keep in contact with them? We talk a couple times a year, we're still friends.

What would happen if you ran into said person on the street? Give him a hug--it would be great to see him, we haven't seen each other in years. He lives half way across the country, so I don't know if I'll actually ever see him again, which is kind of sad.

stina93446 · March 2010

I always run into my worst exes when I look like crap.

stina93446 · March 2010

Oh Aerin, I wish I had a memory like yours when it came to exes.

I wish my friend/ex would come around. We used to be awesome friends post break up. Everytime I came back to CA, he's meet up with me. He was really happy for my engagement and we chatted on the phone every couple of months. I sent him a wedding invite and he declined. Mutual friends of ours said that he couldn't bear to come. I had no idea....and now I miss talking to him.

mags0607 · March 2010

Who was your first boyfriend? I had boyfriends before him, but my first "love" was named Jesse.

How long did you date this person? On and off for about 2 years, then a final fling, before I truly realized that he was worthless. Oh, this was also the man who bought me an engagment ring ( hadn't given it to me yet), then in a drunken phone convo (LDR) told me he was cheating on me for months because "he had needs."

Do you still keep in contact with them? No, after the last encounter and me realizing I was WAY too good to keep going back to him, I haven't really spoken to him. I did however get an invitation to his wedding ( to a 19 year old he got pregnant and was pressured into marrying) from his mother, with a note saying that if I came to the wedding, he would probably change his mind because she knew he still loved me. I didn't go.

What would happen if you ran into said person on the street? I would probably awkwardly go up and say hello, because I would want to see his kid and his wife, plus, he did me a favor by being a scumbag, and I settled down with Ricky. Much better choice.

Ummm. now that I gave you guys a novel..... carry on.

SarahPLiz · March 2010

That's a great story Mags. We always hear on here of parents hijacking the guest list. I wonder if Jesse had any idea that his mom sent you an invitation?

ButtonsPepper · March 2010

Who was your first boyfriend? First "real" boyfriend would be Mike (first love anyway).

How long did you date this person? On and off for about 4 years.

Do you still keep in contact with them? Now yes on occasion. For a while he said it was too hard to keep in touch with me. I was a heart breaker. Oops. I really miss him as a friend though. You date someone for that long, you become really good friends with them, and I miss that friendship, I just saw him as a good friend rather then a BF.

What would happen if you ran into said person on the street? We'd talk for a bit, then probably continue on our day. I'd like to say we'd sit down have some coffee and chat, but he probably wouldn't... I think me getting married was pretty hard on him.

suz62984 · March 2010

Mags that's hilarious that his mom sent you that note!!!

Posted by SarahPLiz[/QUOTE]

I really don't think he knew she sent it. But, she was convinced that we were going to get back together. I think she took our beakup much harder than I did. She would call me after we broke up, and as sweet as she was, it was just awkward.

I kinda felt bad for his fiancee, obviously FMIL was not welcoming her into the family with open arms.

LarissaAnn · March 2010

Who was your first boyfriend? Joel

How long did you date this person? 2 months

Do you still keep in contact with them? We lost touch years ago but are now friended on Facebook.

What would happen if you ran into said person on the street? I'd say hi & probably go for coffee to catch up.

LarissaAnn · March 2010

First, I think it's freaky that both Stina and I had first boyfriends named Joel.

Second, Mags' story reminds me of a short one about my Joel... he was over my house one time, and his mom came to pick him up. I was 15, he was 16, and driving age in NJ is 17. So we were finishing watching a movie or playing a board game or something, and his mom was in the living room with mine. After they left, my mom told me that his mother had said to her, "There will never be an after-Joel for Larissa or an after-Larissa for Joel. They're so much in love that they're either going to get married or a breakup will break their hearts so badly they'll never be able to be with anyone else."

That was his MOM saying that. An ADULT WOMAN. My response to my mother was something like, "What?! Good god, I'm 15, not getting married! There will be LOTS of guys!" Even I knew better as a teen than she did. Hell, I wasn't even in love with him at all!

By the way, we're both married now. To other people. And I dated a LOT in between. A LOT.

aerinpegadrak · March 2010

I guess I sound kind of heartless about it, huh? But it really wasn't remotely a serious thing, even by high school standards. We went to different schools, and had totally different interests, and I only knew him because he was in choir with my best friend. He barely even qualified as my boyfriend.

Now my first love, that's a different story. That was Mike. I had a crush on him in seventh grade, but he was kind of a jerk to me. Then he found Jesus (but in a non-crazy way) and apologized the next year. We spent the next two years falling in and out of love with each other while still remaining good friends, but we were both too chickenshit to say a word about it. He ended up going to a different high school. (The same one as Jon, actually.) He called me up out of the blue about a year later and invited me to his choir concert, and I haven't heard from him since. I'm halfway tempted to look him up on Facebook, but I think that might upset FI (he's been cheated on repeatedly, so me looking up old flames might trigger his insecurities), so I'll just leave it be.

jenn.daniel · March 2010

Who was your first boyfriend? David
How long did you date this person? a year and 8 months. basically we ended it right before we left for different colleges.
Do you still keep in contact with them? yup, IM and facebook now. We ended up in the same area for a year when I was in grad school, and he was in law school, so we hung out a few times.
What would happen if you ran into said person on the street? probably make dinner plans.
