I think most people wonder if their first love still thinks about them from time to time.
I do, and I can tell you it’s completely normal.
How often do you think of your first love?
Do you want to know that your first love thinks of you? Maybe even know that they miss you?
Here is why it’s OK to wonder if your first love still thinks of you, and how to deal with those feelings:
Do Feelings for Your First Love Ever Go Away?
It’s not unusual to wonder if your first love still thinks about you. In fact, it’s pretty common.
A lot of people think that their first love is the strongest and deepest love they’ll ever have.
So it’s only natural to wonder if your first love still has those same feelings for you, even years later.
Maybe you’ve even seen your first love since you’ve both moved on, and you can’t help but wonder if they still think about you too.
It’s hard not to think about the person who was such a big part of your life, especially if you have fond memories of your time together.
No matter how your relationship ended and where you are in your life now, we can only have one first and they’ll always hold a special place in our hearts.

Is It True that You Will Always Love Your First Love?
It’s a common belief that you’ll always love your first love in some way.
Obviously, not in the same way as you did when you were together, but they will have a special place in your heart and memories so there will always be something there.
Although, that might be true for some people, but not necessarily for everyone.
Some people are more bitter about their first love than they do think back fondly of their time together.
It really depends on the person and how their first love ended.
For example, if your first love broke your heart and you never really got over it, then you probably won’t have the same fond memories as someone whose first love ended on good terms.
On the other hand, if your first love was the one who got away and you always regretted not being with them, then you might still think about them all these years later.
It’s really up to the individual and how they feel about their first love.
Why It’s Ok to Think About Your First Love
I want to point out that you should never feel guilty about thinking back about your first love, even if you’re married and in a much different stage of your life now.
It’s ok to have those thoughts and feelings, and it doesn’t mean that you’re not happy with your current relationship.
It can actually be pretty healthy to reflect on your first love and what you learned from the experience.
You might even be able to take some of those lessons into your current relationship.
Maybe there are things you wish you could have done differently or things that you miss about that time in your life.
It’s ok to reflect on those things and even talk to your partner about them.
Your first love is a part of your life and who you are, so it’s only natural that you would think about them from time to time.
Does My First Love Still Think of Me?
If you’re wondering if your first love still thinks about you, the answer is probably yes.
It’s normal to think about the person who was such a big part of your life, especially if you have fond memories of your time together.
I bet you think about them, right?
It’s no different if you’re in their shoes. No matter how your relationship ended, you’re still their first love and always will be.
Therefore, you’re always going to hold a special place in their heart and they’ll never forget about you.
I can’t say how often they think about you or what they think, only they know that.
You might have a good idea as you know how the relationship ended and what kind of contact you’ve had with them over the years.

Is Your First Love the Strongest?
A lot of people believe that your first love is the strongest and deepest love you’ll ever have.
That might be true for some people, but not necessarily for everyone.
It really depends on the person and how their first love ended.
I’d say it’s more so that a first love leaves more of an impression, but as we age and mature we can certainly have stronger feelings of love in future relationships.
Of course, it’s also possible to never love as deeply or strongly as you did with your first.
Only you can answer that question!
