Description Of My First Love

“Love is hard to find, hard to keep, and hard to forget,” a quote by Alysha Speer. In some way, shape, or form everyone can relate to this quote. With my first love he came out of nowhere and it was hard to keep a steady relationship especially for me being so young. When I first met Daniel we both were thirteen years old. We had become great friends over our last year of middle school. Towards the end of the year he asked me to be his girlfriend and with this being my very first boyfriend I said yes without hesitation. Daniel was a great best friend and even better boyfriend. Daniel was the sweetest, most respectful kid ever. We were together for three years leading into high school and it was not always sunny skies and beautiful rainbows. …show more content…
We both were very shy and as young relationships are we did not know each other a whole lot. When I first met Daniel he was very handsome to me, he was muscular, nice haircut, nice clothes, and a great smile (Initiating, McCornack, 299). It sounds weird but for being so young he was exactly what I wanted in a boyfriend visually. Also I liked him because when I would talk to him he was confident but not arrogant about himself. Although Daniel’s best friend was the arrogant one and he is the one who introduced us to one another. After Daniel’s best friend introduced us we became flirty and that is what led us to being together. Furthermore we started learning more and more about each other. In fact I learned that his family was small, his family originated from El Salvador, what he wanted to do when he was older, and all of the simple things that made him happy (Experimenting, McCornack, 299). As a result with learning more about Daniel our relationship got stronger and closer, maybe even a little too fast. It might have seen fast to me now because looking back I was really young, but “no gender or age difference exist in people’s experience of passionate love,” (McCornack, 289). We started talking about a future together, how we wanted to be together forever, where we wanted to live, or what the future held for us (Intensifying, McCornack, 299). In time I was happy and could not wait for the future to …show more content…
These difference s were small but they were enough to set off a problem. Eventually we seem that we were not as compatible. Even more we started talking less and less. Daniel and I would fight about not talking more or even trying to go on dates more. Eventually we discarded the issue and stood together because at the time we did not think it was worth it (Differentiating and Circumscribing, McCornack, 302). Although we did not fight about it anymore things between Daniel and I were not the same. We were talking but it was short and we could barely be around each other. Daniel started hanging out with his friends more often and I still wanted to be around him (Avoiding, McCornack, 302). Eventually he started lying to me about things, simple and little things. They were not worth it when we would argue about the small problems, but then they became bigger problems. Daniel did things that would hurt a teenage girl and that is exactly what they did. I was so hurt about him going to parties, be his own person without me, and me being jealous about something that does not mean anything to me now. Eventually an argument lead to both of us talking about how we did not want to be together (Terminating, McCornack, 302). For some reason to me I was not ready to let go so it broke my heart. I hated the way things ended and for me it was not the right time. For a
