When my marriage of 33 years broke up, this was one of the things that I mourned — to grow old with someone I love. It still brings tears to my eyes and sorrow to my heart — but I know that this is not bad — it is OK to mourn my loss.
Just think, now you can act like one of those crazy old women [if you don't find anyone else] and just mess with people. That’s what I plan to do if I end up alone :]
And I hate when people say stupid stuff about it like ,
it’s young love , it’s not gonna last etc.
NO
It’s true love (:

Statistically teen love doesn’t last. It’s not that these people are being stupid just that the odds are stacked HIGHLY against it.And I do mean ASTRONOMICALLY HIGH. I’m not saying it’s impossible mind you. I’ve meet people who have meet the love of there lives in high school just that it’s unlikely. I think you need to look realistically at this. On that note though I wish you the best of luck as young love can be so lovely.
Myself I’m still single, never dated and 21. I’m waiting with fingers crossed. I guess I’ll need a lot of luck to.

The odds are against young love. But it does last, sometimes.
Thing of it is, if you don’t try, it *wont* last.

There’s nothing quite as magical and thrilling as experiencing your first love, and for many people this happens as a teenager. Savor every moment because 20 or 30 years down the road, you’ll wish you could feel so vividly and completly enthralled with another person. Not to say that feelings or love gets watered down as we get older, it’s just that young love, or your first love, is just THAT amazing.
Good luck, Sandra. I hope you’re one of the lucky ones!

Ive been with my highschool love and I am 30 years old now, we have been through it all though, poverty, children, family feuds (not the show), moving cross country and recently my 3 year battle with cancer. All those things made us as strong as we are today though, but without work and cooperation with one another all its all out the window. Young love can work it just takes work.
We married at 19 and she died at 62, and we are forever in love. I’ve been alone for 3 months, and I just want to live my life so she would be proud of me.
Bill, the love you found is what we all hope to find. My parents were married 28 years before my father passed away, he was the love of her life. She says the same thing. She’s proud of you. She loves you. And you keep her alive, even though isn’t physically here anymore, through the memory of her. You give hope to us younger females that real, loving men still exist. Thank you.
Hey there, to the person who has never been kissed, not sure if that’s by choice but just wanted to give a shout out to those who may be waiting for marraige. Many of the loving old couples we see? They waited. I’m a 26 & waited till age 24 to have sex – my wedding day. Guys dumped me for it. My gfs and 2 sisters who said they’d wait 1 by 1 fell by the wayside (gave in to cultural norms cause they were “in love” with guys they no longer know). Been called sexually repressed, nun, & prude by my college track team. Pop-psychology warned me that premarital sex is healthy and necessary to ensure a couple is sexually compatible. I’m pretty and wasn’t sheltered so it was hard as I had lots of pressure, little encouragment, and not 1 roll-model -not even my mom! But my husband and I have the best sexual relationship that I know of. I am SO happy I waited for this! My married gf’s, co-workers and big sis say thier sex life is either just ok or non-existant. We have crazy hot sex all the time. Took a leap of faith but turns out sex within a real commitment like a loving marraige can be unbeleivably deep and beautiful. If you’ve never even been kissed, you have an amazing opportunity before you!
Well I never actually had a girlfriend. Girls just see me as a friend because I’m so nice. I just feel the first girl that doesn’t see me that way and if I have feelings for her would probably end up being my first. I would like to wait till marriage, but I don’t feel like I can hold out. I get really horny all the time and I just want to feel something. You’re story is really encouraging, but I don’t know…
I love this. And I do beleive “young love” does last, you just got to work hard and be there for eachother through everything. I have been with my boyfriend since we were in 8th grade, Im now 21 and we are planning on getting married soon. I want to grow old with him, and I know I will. =)
we all do
me too

It’s absolutely okay to mourn your loss!
Just surround yourself with good friends! They’re fun to grow old with and make memories with too!

I want this too.
I think I found him
I’m pretty sure I’ve found mine ,
And I’m only 16
Me too. I never thought I’d be this young and meeting someone I want to be with forever.

It sounds like you were both richly blessed Bill! And I know she is proud of you. I’m into a good one for going on 27 years now.

I’m sorry she’s passed. Keep making her proud – carpe diem!!
Thank you Bill.
That is the finest thing I have ever read.
I wish I could have this. I’m 21 and never been kissed.
