Why Is It Hard To Forget Your First Love?

Every one of us remembers our first love but no one knows why it happens so. Maybe because it is so exciting, passionate and sensual, so we think it will last for a lifetime; or maybe because it is the first strong feeling in our life to a person that is not a member of our family. Another reason may be that this feeling is so tender and pure, that it leaves its everlasting mark on our lives. So if you keep wondering why you can`t forget your first love even if you want to do it desperately, here are some reasons for that.

1-It is the most innocent love

One of the core reasons why your first love is so hard to forget is because it is pure and innocent. People don't fall in love for the first time with expectations or malicious intentions. It is a pure attraction, led by the heart and not the mind.

The whole world seems beautiful and life becomes perfect. It is like wearing rose-tinted glasses 24/7, even in your dreams. This blissful feeling of first love can never be replicated—once innocence is lost on a personal level, it can never be translated in its purest form into another relationship. This is what makes it so special.

2-It exposes your insecurities

Your first love and first relationship will expose many of the insecurities you never knew about. For example, your first relationship will be the first time you actually realize what it is like to be a jealous girlfriend.

From jealousy to possessiveness to extreme dependence, your first love is when guys and girls realize how matters of the heart can bring even the strongest down to their knees.

3-A good beginning makes a good ending

For some people first love may serve as a kind of criterion for other people they choose for relations. For example, when first love is extremely emotional and passionate, any other type of relationships will seem boring or unacceptable. That is why first love becomes more and more valuable and unbeatable if new relations don`t meet the requirements.

4-It's the only time you believe in perfect love.

Your first relationship is when you believe that your love is perfect. Your love knows only one language, that which is spoken by your heart. There are no hang-ups, no complications, and no expectations. This sense of perfectness creates memories that are hard to forget. No matter how old you get, no matter how mature you become, you will always crave this sort of perfection in your relationships.

Once you move on from your first love, it will be disheartening to realize that you will never be able to recreate this type of love again.
