virgigirlie 0 #1 September 2, 2009 ...falling in love. How old were you? I don't mean your first super-huge "I'm 'in love''' crush or the first time you loved someone you were dating. It means something a little different to us all, so use your own definition, but how old were you the first time you were really in love with someone?

shah269 0 #7 September 2, 2009 18, one and only girl who ever hit on me, we kissed in the raid. Dated for 2 months before I had to back to the US. I lost track of her for 13 years though I looked for her all over the world. Found her 6 months ago online, it went from amazing to horrible. I still think of her.

LyraM45 0 #15 September 2, 2009 22 and he pretty much ended up being a real dick after he knew he had me. It was a good time to have that experience though... even though it left me really emotionally damaged, I learned a LOT after that experience and helped me know what love really is and down the road I found Matt. Engaged, been together for four years, he treats me like gold, and I love him like the day I met him. Apologies for the spelling (and grammar)....

humbled1 0 #23 September 3, 2009 18.....4 years later she became my wife...we have been married 20 years now...unless you count the pending divorce! (her idea) it only took the 1 tandem to start the ball rolling, I did one with my daughter as a gift a year and a half ago...I came back 2 months later with my tax refund, got my A...bought a used rig....then I helped my daughter get her A, then a RW suit...etc....long story short; my wife has had enough!!! I have slowed down but the damage is done...funny thing is we still live together for now and get along great but it does seem like our sex life has slowed down drastically!! ahhhaah Ironically the reason she is leaving me is the thing keeping me from flipping out as my life turns to shambles!
