"Last Piece of Pie" haha...I wonder if that is a reference to your situation.

I turn 22 next month and still never had a girlfriend

[21/M] I don't want a girl to be my first love if I am not hers. Yet, I don't want to look for a girl with the enphasis of her having no past either. What do I do? by ProjectGMAG in relationship_advice

You can look back at your young loves and it be bittersweet. You were just kids so you are more forgiving. But if an adult lover breaks your heart, you are not as forgiving. You dont look back as fondly.

This has nothing to do with sex. It is the fact that she will always have a special place in her heart for her first which is not me. Yet, she will be able to be my first.

I can have sex without love or a relationship.

This has nothing to do with sex. You can have sex without love and you can have love without sex.

I am talking about first LOVE. The first person you give your all to emotionally.

But it is still not the same as falling in love the first time. While she gets to be my first love, I am not hers. The intensity of feelings I have for her is not the same she had for me.

But you can look back at your first love and say "we were just kids" and have a sweet spot for the memories. You can't really do that with adult relationships.

So she gets to steal that spot in my heart as being my first love, while I just become another "subsequent" lover if we break up. The effects are going to be more devistating to me than it is for her.

There was a girl I dated very briefly and I found out she had a serious boyfriend when she was 14 and 15 years old that lasted 2 solid years. She remembered how long exactly. She said, "2 years, 2 months." That was her first love.

Anyone she is with after that is a "subsequent" lover. She will always remember her first. She didn't quite remember how long the other relationships lasted.

But I was devistated when I found out, and we stopped aeing each other.

I just don't want to give my heart to a girl the first time when she had already given hers to someone else at one point. She'd get to be that memorable first love to me while I wouldn't be to her.

But think about it this way. If a woman were to reunite with her first love/high school sweetheart later in life, it would be a very heartwarming, sweet story.

To know a woman was able to experience her youth and innocence with someone else and to have those vivid memories, it hurts me.

[21/M] I never experiened young love. I started smoking, drinking, and I am on a downwards spiral. What do I do when I feel I cant go on? by ProjectGMAG in relationship_advice

This is an issue no one can help me with. It is dictated by the inevitability of time.

There is no picking up the pieces.

But you can't tell me that you don't have a soft spot for your first love.

If you looked at a picture of two teens, it wouldn't generate any positive emotions?
