How did you meet? we were in the same class at school from the age of 11 but didn't really notice him until I joined the youth group and he was already a member and seemed like the only other kid there who wasn't kinda geeky! (very superficial attitude but I was only 13! )

What was it like? it was just very natural, like it was always gonna happen but just had to come at the right time - we were like best friends that kiss

What did you learn from it? Positive - that young love is just as real as grown up love
Negative - people who say they love you do not always love you enough to follow you to the ends of the earth...

Are you still in touch with that person? we were in touch for years the problem was I always seemed to be a shoulder for him to cry on but when he was with someone it was inconvenient for him to have me around, so it drifted into just sending each other a birthday and christmas message, but this year is the first time I didn't send him his birthday wish - I think it was just time for me to let go...

Me Libra Sun - Him Pisces Sun

I look back with fondness...I look forward with anticipation...

(Taurus Sun, Gem Moon, Taurus Mercury, Pisces Venus, Libra Mars, Virgo Asc)

She dumped me off onto her childhood friend, interestingly another Romanian-born, Gemini Moon, Pisces Venus, Earth sign- a Capricorn.

The Capricorn relationship turned out to be REAL. Genuine affection, much emotion, and many good times. We belonged to each other for over two years, then we realized we needed more experiences in life, and mutually parted. I regretted the breakup for a couple years afterwards. Now, looking back, I'm glad we ended when we did. It was a good thing. We need different types of people. I consider her my best friend now. She'll always be a crucial part of my life.

This is the Capricorn and I below, 7 years ago. Ah, to be 16 again...

How did you meet? We met at an industrial nightclub in New York City. I made fun of his oxblood combat boots.

What was it like? I didn't think much of it at the time because my friend thought he was cute and I didn't think he was interested in me. His first poem to me hooked me. I still have it.

What did you learn from it? That sometimes love really isn't enough to make it work and that you can love someone completely and not want to be with them.

How did you meet? Shared a desk in a tutorial lab in college.

What was it like? Heaven.

What did you learn from it? How to let go.

Are you still in touch with that person? Nope. We were friends for 10+ years, but, sadly, he died. We would still be friends today if he was still alive.

As it turned out, I was standing right behind him at a NIN concert. I met him a month later when I started a new job.

It was h$llish, actually. Filled with drama and passion and candles and dark clubs and intrigue. Grand sweeping gestures, great sex and more pain than I thought possible. He broke up with me the night I realized I was pregnant.. and it was supposed to be our wedding day (Halloween.)

I learned never to trust a Gemini!! LOL. I learned that great sex doesn't equal love. Too bad I keep repeating that mistake. But if I hadn't been driven to get as far away from him as possible, I never would have moved 2000 miles away from home and found a place that makes me happy.

No, I never talk to him. I did find a picture of him on the internet, and I am smugly satisfied that yes, he is definitely losing his hair. And, that he is pursuing a career in the field that I introduced him to.

Ah, the nostalgia for one's youth...

We met on my first ever job, we both worked at a whole food supermarket...I worked at the deli and he worked as a butcher. I first took one look at him and was like "WOW!!"...I was sooo shy..I couldnt even look at him, and he went up to me and shook my hand and introduced himself. I think angels were singing at this point..LOL..

The "relationship" was very volatile..he was young as well, 22, and a Scorpio. On paper we were perfect for each other. My sun conjunct my moon and vice versa, His mercury conjunct my moon, and vice versa, Our venuses were trine with each other..But in actuality I think I was too eager, too willing to be with him and that scared him off

I learned all sort of everything from the relationship. It helped me dig deeper in my spiritual beliefs...it led me to finding about Linda Goodman...He made me believe that soulmates existed.

Unfortunately, even if we do live in the same state, we dont at all keep in contact...He is on my myspace and all, but as of actual contact thru the phone or mail or anything...NOPE.. The way things ended between the both of us, I could tell, wounded his ego and knowing him, he still has a grudge against me...even if it's been 5 years. Nevertheless, I still think about him and he'll always be my first love.

How did you meet?
I met him at a friend's barbeque. He hardly noticed me (I only realised this later). I sent him a Valentines card. We got together at a party as he figured out who sent it.

What was it like?
I thought it was beautiful and I adored him. He thought it would be a ok thing to pass the time before going off to university. Frigging Leos.

What did you learn from it?
That what is glorious to you may not be as glorious to someone else. I'm not sorry it happened though and it wasn't horrible, just different levels of love. He was a proper hottie and I couldn't believe my luck!

Are you still in touch with that person?
No. I know where he is and how to contact him but I have my pride. I wish him well and he's still gorgeous. The nasty part of me was hoping he'd turned into a big fat bald alcoholic but this isn't the case. Dagnammit.

How did you meet? We sat next to each other in homeroom in high school and started to become friends - we had a lot of similar interests at the time (mainly, drugs - we are both sober now)

What was it like? it was like being with my best friend. there were a lot of arguments (he cheated and had a crazy ex who stalked us for a period of time) but there was a lot of passion and a lot of love. If we were in an argument and one of us needed the other, we would put aside the argument and help each other as friends and for some reason, that never failed us. We basically helped each other to get over each other - we were together for a year and it took us a few months to break up - he actually went away for 6 months. We had an amazing chemisty in the sense that we were and still are on the same wavelength - we could always look accross the room from each other and simle because were we both thinking the same thing.

What did you learn from it? I learned the most from this relationship than any other and i can't describe everything perfectly with words as i am not so good with words. I learned the value of unconditional love (we are very close friends to this day), to accept people as as they are.
