Love, a word that gets thrown around every day. We are a society obsessed with it. It is everywhere we look, inescapable. It is the inspiration for music, art, film, and so much more. But what happens when you find “the one” and the spark eventually dies? Well, most people have no choice but to move on. However, for some it is something they can never let go.
First love syndrome is the theory that a person (men in particular) can never feel the same intensity of emotions as he or she did for the first love. Sadly, some will spend their entire lives trying to recreate that intense feeling.
The first time is always the best. Remember your first kiss? The first time you rode a rollercoaster? The first time you had sex? Most importantly the first time you fell in love? The feeling of the first love is better than any other “firsts”. No drug can ever match the butterflies, the lust, and the infatuation you felt.
You can never relive your first time. The spark of a new relationship will always grow fainter. Some men never stop searching though. The thought is that as soon as the excitement of a new relationship is over it isn’t worth it anymore. They are constantly trying to find a match for that first girl who made them go weak at the knees. They can never find it though. So they keep searching and find it very difficult to stay faithful. They do not understand the concept of true love.
It must really be a horrible obsession, searching for something you will never find.
So do you believe in first love syndrome?
