The Captain Swan thread!

[killianhookfan]

Can I just do a brief exercise with all of you over the age if 17?

Think about the guy (or girl) you were dating when you were 17? What were your hopes and dreams with said boyfriend or girlfriend then?

How old are you now? Do you still have the same hopes and dreams with that boyfriend or girlfriend that you did then?

If not, why?

If so, why?

If you are no longer dating the person you were dating when you were 17, and are now either dating or married to someone else, do you feel you made a mistake and should have tried to maintain or revive a relationship with the person you dated when you were 17?

I will start this off.

I was convinced I was going to marry the guy I was dating when I was 17. I was so stupid I actually followed him to college. This ended up being a good decision but the school ended up being PERFECT for me, and as a bonus I met my lifelong best friend!! On the other hand I broke up with my boyfriend a few months into freshman year when I developed a big time crush on a guy in my dorm who was a biology major in most of my classes. My ex transferred to a different college after our sophomore year. I found out after college that he had a one night stand with some random girl a few years later and got her pregnant.

I am 41 now. I am so completely different than I was when I was 17 that I can hardly recognize myself!!! Doing things I never thought I would want to do, living someplace I never thought I would live, I’m still me but a much different version of myself!

Married to an awesome hubby! It’s our anniversary today! Can’t imagine being married to anyone else. This is what my life was supposed to be and I am happy I am living it! Can’t imagine for one second thinking that my life “should have been” something else.

I’ll go one step further. I am divorced. This is my second marriage. My hubby has raised my 12 year old cause his dad doesn’t care about him at all. My first husband decided he didn’t want the responsibility of being a dad after my son was born. There isn’t a day I regret divorcing my first husband. Not even because a “family” is supposed to be together. And if I was single and my ex came back today saying he wanted another chance and someone told me I should give him one because we are a family – I would show them BOTH the door.

@rumplegoldfan Happy anniversary! I wish you both to have a very long, happy life full of love!

To answer your survey:

 

I was 16 when I first had my first boyfriend. I always had this idea that ” I want my first BF to be my last and everlasting love” HAHAHA…

So, when I had my first BF, i had this idealistic POV and when it all went spiraling down, I was so devastated and felt like ” I CANT LOVE AGAIN EVER!” ( gives me the goosebumps when I remember it, the bad kind of goosbumps LOL)

After 3 years. I had a second BF and AGAIN, I thought to myself ” He’s my LAST and would bemy one and only” , but even though I had him, I was crushing on some friend I have ( who totally looks like Ryan Gosling LOL). So we broke up, took me almost a year to move on and had several flings/dates after that.

 

I am turning 27 next year, I am in a long term relationship with a great guy now. I am being realistic this time around and not an idealist like I was before.

Looking back, I know that even if I do meet those guys again, especially my first love, or even that Ryan Gosling-look-alike, I wouldn’t love them like I used to. They aren’t even special in any kind of way anymore hahaha…

I’m a different person now and the person who used to believe in FIRST LOVE=TRUE LOVE is DEAD. lol.

See, that’s why I can’t wrap my head around First love = true love thing. Cause even if I did love my first love genuinely, I knew it WASN’T TRUE LOVE.

When I was 17, I met a guy at a family wedding.  He was older than me (I even lied about my age). Didn’t have an immediate crush on him (that happened later).  When that crush really happened, I thought that he really liked me back.  He was a musician too and close friends with my cousins. I went out with him once and always remembered him on my birthday.  I made an e-card for him in photoshop and e-mailed it to him, then he wrote me back that he thought of me a friend or if I remember correctly, like a little sister and he had a girlfriend too.  I was devastated at first and then really pissed off later.  I was in community college then.

But at the time, I thought that I loved him because I’d never been in love before and didn’t know if what I felt was love or simply a crush.  But he wasn’t the guy I ended up with.

My boyfriend now, we will be 6 years together in February.  He’s not a musician (although, I did ask him to serenade me, sing karaoke at my graduation party.). And I knew he was genuinely interested in me after because after we exchanged cell numbers, I remember, he would text me good morning every day.  We have similar interests and we’re both geeks at heart (he likes playing board games, I write fanfiction).  And we encourage each other a lot.

First crush doesn’t mean your last love, in my case.  Sometimes, the better fit for you come along later in life when you’re ready.

@RumplesGirl – Its actually an image that didnt post (not sure why, as it was an image when I hit submit)- I tried a new source, but your edit seems to have undone the new source & it’s showing the potty mouth words again ….. I will try it again now!

 

Edited to add- all fixed, clueless as to the problem, but its fixed 🙂

My apologies!! My first instinct when I see stuff like that is to get it fixed post haste. 🙁

*cookies*

Carry on!

No worries! I totally panicked when I saw what had posted in the image’s stead, so scrambled to fix it- then was horror struck when I saw it was still a bunch of potty mouth language instead of the image, saw your edit & wanted to fix it, but didnt want you to edit at the same time again (thinking I was posting unacceptable language on purpose) & have the same thing happen a 2nd time lol. *happily munches on cookies now my freak out is over* 😉
