So this summer, at 17 years old, I met my first real love. It lasted about 2 months (from july 28th to september 21st if I remember well). At the end it wasn't going pretty well. I mean the first month was fun, but in the second we weren't seeing each other as much as we used to. Then it happened, she cheated on me (it happened to be with the friend of one of my good friends so I was told pretty quickly). I was really mad (I think it's normal ahha) and I said that I needed time to think about what happened. After only one day of no contact she decided to broke up. I was so pissed off lol.

 

I didn't contact her for about a week and we then started hooking up with each other maybe once by two weeks. I was still feeling something for her and she even told me that she was still feeling something too, but her decision can't be reversed. We continued this for 4 months, truing to be friends I guess. But I must admit it felt pretty awkward and I wasn't okay with the fact of being just friends tho.

 

So I'd been dating an other girl last month (my ex-girlfriend even told me by text message that she was feeling kind of jealous) but it ended up pretty quickly. Now I'm back at it again thinking about my first love, it haven't been a really great relation (especially since we broke up) but she was still my first real love. Last week I've decided to cut all contact, I'm sick of that never-ending story that leads to nothing. Tonight I'm feeling depressed.

 

Any tips for me or opinions on my story? Please

You're 17 and shouldn't be wasting your youth pining over someone who didn't appreciate or love you back. She cheated and then dumped you. Nice girl. Stay no contact on her and let time and distance heal that wound you've got. It will happen, but we all heal in different ways and at different speeds.

Love is always intense, regardless of the age-- but please do take comfort in the reality that you are incredibly, incredibly young. You could go off and make one idiot mistake after another for the next ten years and STILL have a long life of choices to look forward to.

 

Who knows, your "first love," though momentarily ended, could morph into something much better, like a future friendship with that person or a rekindled love when you are both more mature. Let that sit for a while. Explore a bit.
