Old Boyfriends / Girlfriends

Ok, for you divorced people out there, this is not about old spouses.
This is about your old boyfriends or girlfriends. This thread is for all of you, single, married, whatever. I guess this could be a poll, but I want verbiage, not just votes.
Are you still friends?
Can you still be friends?
Do you even know where they are or what they are doing?
Do you still remember those relationships with a smile on your face?
Were they bad relationships?
How do you think they think of you?
Any other thoughts you would like to share?
This could be a fun thread.
So, how about me? I have had just two old girlfriends that really touched me in very special ways. Not that I didn’t have very strong feelings about other girls, I did. My very first real crush was on a girl that I met in 3rd grade and we still keep in touch. That girl was one of the most beautiful girls and now women I have ever known. She is a wonderful friend and I cherish our friendship very much.
But, I digress. Back to the two. The first one is really my first true love and we were together for a couple of years. We were together my senior year in high school and my first year of college. I was sure she would be the one I would marry and that was that. I was head over heals in love. She was going to college at the University of Florida and I was going to a Community College and working full time to save money to go to the University. Well, she decided she wanted to get married while we were in school. There was no way. I told here that as soon as I finished college and got a good engineering job, I would be ready, but I could barely afford to take care of myself. She would have lost her SS benefits from her father who had passed away, and we would have had to go it alone, paying for college for two of us and trying to live and go to school at the same time. Well, in less than 6 months, she was married. Not to me, but she was married. As hard as it was at the time, I thank God every day. I wound up with the best deal in life. She is now a very good friend and we keep in touch. She has divorced the first guy and has married a really nice guy that loves her very much. I like him. I still care for this lady and I am sure she still cares for me, but I am now with the absolute true love of my life.
The second one. This lady was a friend and was going to college at the community college I was at after my break up with the lady above. We hit it off very nicely and had a pretty steamy relationship for about a year. She was my first and although I loved her, I knew she was not my true love. She is married now, and I am sure she has kids, but I have not kept up with her. I think Walter keeps in touch because they were friends. I have very fond memories of our relationship. I would like to see her again and let her know that she was a very important part of making me who I am today. Maybe one day.
Ok, those stories are way too short to tell everything, but should maybe give you an idea of where I am going with this thread.

One rents a room from me and has been my housemate (sans benefits, we're like brother and sister) for 5+ years. One I used to stay with all the time when I went to the mainland... at least until she moved an hour away from the boat terminal. Another passed away after we broke up. I'm not entirely sure where she is now since she was "naughty" AND "nice."

I'm surprised due to the marital status of most SD members that this thread hasn't garnered more responses. Perhaps the old adage applies...This is about your old boyfriends or girlfriends.
"If you can't say something nice about someone, don't say anything at all."

Hmmm... I can't think of any former GF I couldn't say something "nice" about (as well as something "naughty," but I'm a gentleman and we don't tell... except thru PM's! Sigh).

To me, getting and staying upset over a relationship that went bad is not worth the energy wasted. You get over it and you move on, after all, you never know when and where that special one you have hoped for will turn up.

It helps to remain friends if you actually developed a friendship in the first place. Seems kinda silly but once the chemisty has waned a bit...sometimes you find that you never built the relationship on real friendship in the first place...hence being hard to *remain or end up friends*.
Exactly. That's why I prefer to see relationships develop out of friendships in the first place. If you genuinely LIKE one another before those wonderful erotic thoughts start entering your mind, you're much more likely to continue on as friends IF the spark is extinguished.

I agree...seems that most (NOT all) men want sometype of instant connection which I believe is more an instant sexual attraction than anything else....Can't judge a book by its cover

The girlfriends I remember, it's an ex-wife I'm blocking out
Sorry to hear it, Ray. My ex-wife is a wonderful woman. The only thing wrong with her is she lost her good taste.
