    Your first "love" will always be in your head, they cut you deep (as it's your first experience in the field).

    It might take until you meet someone else until you're able to keep these thoughts in the back of your head, but they're always going to be there.

    The worst thing you can do is think of it as "creepy", or believe your a loser for having him pop into your head multiple times a day - as this will just make the whole subject into a bigger issue, thus controlling your life and becoming the pink elephant in the room that you try not to think about.

    I believe once you're dating again (hopefully a man that treats you good), you'll come to think of this first "love" as more of a joke, or experience of your past.

    Relationships, sex, and friendship are all a MAJOR motive for most of us to even live, so it's going to be a big deal when we've been through a period of love, and then lose it all.

    Basically... what you're going through is normal, we all think about these past relationships, especially if it was the first, and especially if it was your only. It will likely take until your next relationship to feel as though you've moved on to a satisfactory level (but you will never forget completely). Just remember - you're not in love with this guy, you're mind's simply obsessed over such a significan't period of your life, so unless you have a shrine of candles and pictures looming in your room dedicated to the douche bag, you're normal.

    Find someone else and get over it. Believe me they aren't worth your time.

    But I honestly feel like I was more enfactuated with him instead of a mature love...is it normal to still not be over him after all this time....he won't even speak to me
