What’s Special About ‘First Love’? Nigerians Share Experiences

First love, love at first sight, or any way you will like to describe it is something every grownup Nigerian has experienced one time or the other. What’s is special about ‘first love’? A social media user asked.

In a post on Nairaland forum, the user, henrybangs44, took the lead with his own experience before asking others to share their own perspective.

“I don’t know why I never seem to understand what’s special about first love.

“Every day people talk about how first love is impossible to forget but I don’t get it. Is there any love that you can forget? Can you forget the love you had with your 6th, 7th or Nth Love?

“The first girl I dated was when I was in secondary school and even my teachers knew about her because I was good in class so she was like “the celebrity girlfriend”.

“But she’s not even the girl that broke my heart the most even though she was the one that ended the relationship.

“The one that broke my heart was even during my NYSC. She discovered I was a player and decided to end everything and never looked back. I did everything to win her back, I changed, started behaving well but na, she was adamant. I had over 10 girlfriends after her but she’s still the one that hurts me the most.

“I believe the deepest heartbreak mustn’t come from first love. It can come from any love and I think this ” first love” issue is overrated”.

Responding, another user, Sonnobax15, said; “Awwwwwww… First love comes and goes with alot of fun-filled experiences……. That’s the main reason why you’ll see an Ex who still hangs and lash a married woman… Because the memories of the first love na second to none….”

“Ladies most times cherish their “first” love…. Especially if he was the one that deflowered them…. Takes the grace of God to not run to them after you must have been married…”

Another user, Impregnable101, said; “I couldn’t date my first love. She rejected me.

“Looked back few years later & was glad she rejected me else I for mumu for that girl die!!!!

“Since then(2004), I vowed never to fall in love. heck, I am not sure if I have that much love for my wife but I will do anything to spend the rest of my life with my wife.

“PS: I have dated more than 60 girls b4 I met my wife”.

In his response, harley88, “Myself and my baby are each other’s first loves, we have broken up with each other 5 times in the past one year now and yet we still keep coming back together. Me sef know say na ment but the attachment ehnnn

“Ps: It’s first love not first date or first sex”.
