<human>: Hi Redditors! I've been a long time lurker, and this is my first post. I have a question that I really would like some opinions on.

So I went through a breakup last May. It was my first relationship, but not my partner's. We are both 20. We had been together for almost a year. I love you's were exchanged (my partner before I), talk of the future, courting each other with love notes, keeping things at each other's places, etc. The breakup was mutual, both of us agreeing that we needed time and space alone to grow and focus on ourselves. We are still on good terms.

Anyway, whenever we hang out or even make eye contact I feel like there is still love there. Maybe it's just attraction or memories. Since the breakup, I have been under the assumption that getting over the relationship would be much harder for me than it would be for my ex because my ex had had previous relationships and I had not. They always say you never get over your first love, right?

So my question is- from the perspective of people who have had more than one relationship- is this true? Or have you felt love towards exes that are not your first love?

I'm just wondering how my ex is feeling when we hang out, and how strong the feelings are on my ex's end.

I know a lot of you are going to say everyone is different or that I should ask my ex. I don't want to do that because that could make things awkward. Also- I want to hear your opinion based off your experiences.

I'm sorry if this was unclear. Thanks in advance.
