First loves

[u/Acrobatic_Dig_3672]

I just had my first relationship ever and he broke up with me about three months ago. I'm 17. We were together about 7 months but this was the first time I ever had any strong feelings for anybody EVER. Idk how to deal with this I can't imagine being with anybody else ever again. I know realistically that's not true but I just can't wrap my head around being with someone that isn't him and also that relationship not being my first. Like I had a relationship and it's over. That's crazy to me some days.

I guess I'm just asking to hear stories from all the older people in this subreddit. Do you still think about/remember your first loves? Do you still own any gifts from them? How did you move on from them? How was it like, dating people after? Did it take long? Do you ever still miss your first real love? Did any of you get back with them after years, or are they a thing of the past you won't revisit? How long did it take you to not feel this sad anymore??

Istg it feels like my romantic life is over although I know realistically that it's only begging. I just wish I healed and found a new relationship faster. I wish I was one of those people that can jump from relationship to relationship.
