First Love, Greatest Love of One's Life? What's That?

Sep 24, 2007 00:16

My sister was at one point commenting how studies show that the greatest love of one's life marks you in a way you will always remember that person, even if you move on, marry another person (or other people, whatever) and are happy in your next relationships of marriages.  It seems that next time you see that person the same feelings might come back.

I have loved and lost in relationships.  Have got involved and got hurt by breakups.  But looking back, I don't think I have felt this kind of love, nor have had this kind of relationship.  I am not sure if this is necessarily a good or bad thing.  Personally, I am inclined to think it is good.  What I can tell is that people who marry the loves of their lives do exists.  I have met a few friends (two of them married to each other) who have done everything to be with the love of their lives.

But I never felt that love.  Will I ever feel it?  I hope that if I feel this kind of love, it will be to the person I will marry, if I ever do so.  Else, I prefer a less intense love.

It is much easier to think about these things when one is single, isn't it?
