I found my childhood sweetheart through a friends friend on Facebook.. I was amazed it was actually her but I just had to ask and it turned out it was. The thing is that she has a 14month old baby and is currently engaged now, so she seems to be happy with life and i'd never spoil that for her.

Although I moved on many years ago after she moved away, I still had a flame burning for her and whenever I think about her she gives me butterflys in my stomach. I've never felt like the way I do about a girl before as I do with her.

I know I can't turn back time and i'm happy that she is happy but I do often think that I should have searched harder for her years ago after she left our street, so I could keep in contact. And I did try my best to find her for many years. The last time I bumped into her was when I was doing some work afterschool and she was playing netball against my school. My heart nearly burst through my chest when I seen her. That was 11 years ago.

My question is that, has anyone else let a loved one or childhood sweetheart slip through their fingers and wish they had kept in touch?

I sometimes wonder what happened to my first girlfriend, who I met on a school exchange trip with a Dutch school. Don't think I'd go so far as to hunt her down though, and if I did find her accidentally, I don't think I'd contact her.
 
First loves are weird. Very weird.

I am pretty certain that I won't feel the same way about any other girl I meet. I'm not saying it won't be as good, just not the same.

Then again my first girlfriend was from 14-18, so we have a much deeper connection than most first couples.
 
I think I probably did. I was sat outside ASDA on my skateboard one morning, still pretty wasted from the night before I think, and this girl comes up to me and asks my name, and I didn't really recognise her at first. I told her my name then I realised who it was, some girl I had been with for years when I was just in primary school, but I was feeling so weird that I just ignored her after that and she walked off, rofl.

In a way I do miss my childhood sweetheart, but tbh it was never meant to be and im now in a better position in life than I would have been if i would have stayed with her.

its easy to look back with rose tinted glasses ;]
 
My post isn't meant to come across as some sort of stalker post or anything :)

She also told me on Facebook that she had tried to get back in touch with me and had called at my house some years ago. But at the time I was living away.

Thats certainly true. :)
 
A girl i knocked about with at school got in touch with me through friends reunited to let me know: she is a fitness instructor with an incredbile body; looks more beatiful than ever (which is saying something); has an amazing love life; and that i was an idiot for having let her slip through my fingers!

I didn't feel like an idiot as she was completely barking mad but she certainly had enough of a chip about it.

That heartwarming tale of a long lost love reunited cheered me up no end. :D

Not at all although I see your point.

I guess most people think like this one time or another in their lives.

Absolutely, I had the same fixation for a girl I met at University. Now she has kids etc. At first I was a little bit down about it, but we really are different people now so there is no way of knowing what could have transpired.

I certainly empathise with you, but I think you just have to let it go, chalk it up to experience, and move on.
 
I found my childhood sweetheart after about 8 years of no contact via friends reunited, we arranged to meet up and had a few drinks and a huge catch up chat. At the time we were both with partners so nothing happened but we carried on talking for a few months and ended up both splitting up with our partners to be with one another.

We ended up going out for nearly two years but I've got to say it's the biggest mistake of my life, I'd ended things with a girl who was twice the person my childhood sweet heart was but I couldn't see that at the time due to the memories and the romance of the situation.

I can't say I regret what happened because if I didn't make that decision I'd always be thinking about what could have been between us, thats life I suppose, live and learn from mistakes and regret nothing.

i agree.

my first serious girlfriend was from 15 till 18 and a half.

still think about her now and again, spoke to her the other week. i dont think i will ever feel the same about someone like i did about her, but like you say, its different. Shared a lot of firsts together, nothing will replace that.

/end of soppy girly sounding post! :p
