Research has shown that there is a 75 perxent successful reuniting rate between first loves who get back together later in life. It is said these couples can pick up right where they left off and they can "see them as what they used to be" despite them being grown and different. Do you not agree?
I disagree. People change throughout the years. But you can believe what you want to believe in order to justify your insecurities while sabotaging your relationship.
But do you look back in fondness at your adult relationships just as you did your teen relationships? Do you think there is nothing sweeter than young love?
Oh yes, my first real teenage love. I remember, very fondly her trying to pig stick me with a German made butcher knife, because she had some crazy idea I was sleeping with her older sister. Oh... the sweetness of 'young love'
Lots of young people's first sexual experiences are coerced, lackluster, awkward, any number of other things that make them not exactly beautiful rose-colored memories.
Why do you keep asking if people agree with you when they obviously don't?????

That fact may tend to make people think more fondly of the past, but IDK, maybe I'm off here.
To answer your question, I don't look back at my past relationships with all that sweet of an eye. I don't think young love is all that great, it's just a different phase, maybe a bit sweeter just in the sense that we aren't as jaded as we are when adults, but this isn't stuff that I've given much thought to.
When I first saw the thread, I ran through my mind what possible agendas might there be with asking this, and I couldn't come up with anything, so I answered. But it appears that there might yet be one. lol

So you agree that young love is sweeter then? And you look at teen romance more fondly than past adult romances?
That pretty much confirms it.
That is why i cant overlook the fact she has had a teen love in her past. Because she will always look back in some fondness, especially because she was innocent and "jaded" as you said.
Maybe reincarnation exists. I dont know. But my hopes is one day I can live a new life and experience missed opportunities.
But i dont think i can ever see love the same again.
Look at it this way.
As someone with an admitted lack of experience in this area, it would BENEFIT you to remain open-minded and willing to learn. So far, you have acted as if you know it all already and cannot attempt to learn ideas that may contradict what you already believe.
Reincarnation? No. You can give up if you want, or you can learn and change.
God, haven't we answered this yet???? Sorry OP, having a hard time believing this is sincere!
