Oh wow..."First love is the only love" is a common mistake among young girls? I didn't know that...well,it didn't apply to me.. :S Cool

[mimi]

gives me hope that its not over forever you know.......there are other people i can love as well. i still will always love my ex tho but i feel wayy better now.....thanks martina

[veronica]

this is the sweetest comment i have ever read! eh i do agree that in life you get to know people that you will love. yet, at the age of 17 got my first boyfriend and have been together for a year. we are very in love. i couldnt imagine being without him. either way, i think that yeah, you are right. we are supposed to get to know more people. not in my case!

[ashatay]

That made my heart melt i wish i could relate but Ive neva been to camp:(

[Ren]

this comic was really sweet.

i'm in a relationship right now, and i'm engaged.
and i'm deeply in love.

but i don't know if it's going to work. but all my plans, the only plans i've even made (i don't do plans) are all built around him.

i don't know what to do... somehow, this comic actually made myself feel a little better about it.

thank you.

[omgitsweetea]

thanks, this comic has taught me alot
& now i know not to think negative about past relationships
they teach you things you need to know
so you could carry them on with you
sigh*, well it gives me some hope that maybe there is someone there for me
& some dissapointment that i have to let go & things might have to break
but oh well...everything will be fine at the end right?

[Serene]

that was so beautiful. :')

I`ve re - read this comic over 20 times, I love it so much!
I`ve only ever been in love once, but he didn`t return the feelings. Although love situations can be tragic, I`m always looking forward to who I may fall in love with in the future.
Thanks, Martina, for another amazing comic!
<3

i sometimes feel like i am discarding my first love by loving this other boy..but this comic has really helped meh.

[Ashley [Jesses's girl]]

You have no idea how much I love thing

I had the same expierience with a camp boy. It started when I was 9. I'm 15. I may be young, but that doesn't mean I'm to young to Love. He was and is my first Love, though so far, I've only had two. Unlike this comic, I am still in touch with Jesse and about 4 months ago I finally told him that I have loved him for so log, he said the sam. But because of our distance, it cant work out.

2 years ago at camp, we snuck out of the cabins at 4 am to watch the sunrise. We had done the same when we were ten [though then, we snuck out at 11 pm lol] He told me the same thing he did when we were 9, "You're my best friend and you mean the world to me." That was 5 years after he had said, "My mom told me true happiness is marrying your best friend. And you're my best friend, so I guess I'm marrying you." I know now that that may never happen, but sometimes, it's still nice to pretend as we grow, it'll still be the same. And it's perfect to think that one day, I will be Ashley Elizabeth Camp [his last name]. The Skater boy's girlfriend, Rocker chic. {Our nicknames we named eachother, when we were young.]

[Yasja]

i think its a real neat commic book and it teaches something diffrent to diffrent girls,its kool keep up the good work! i would love to read more of ur comics

[Blonde-and-blue]

Wow. That was so cute. I almost got nostalgic reading it myself and I've never even been kissed...

[Half_Jill]

lil need of help-

I felt the same way when I was 12. And believe me I know how lonely it is.

But looking back now I know I was too young, had too much to learn about boys and relationships, and had too many experiences I had to go through to make anything work with someone at that age... also boys the same age and a little older were too immature.

In my opinion, if it's a boyfriend that you feel you want, you're not ready for one. If you really like someone and want to start a relationship with them, then it's different.

Being in love with the idea of being in love, like you are, is dangerous grounds to start a relationship on.

Being almost 16 and in my first relationship after years of low self esteem, giving my friends relationship advice (that worked), and having anxiety of being alone forever... I know how it feels. But then, here's the good bit, it eventually clicked.

Patience is worth it. I'm happy on my own, and whatever happens, happens. I'm a whole person and I have the ability to wait for whatever may come in the future. I became a happier and more confident person. I got more friends. Boys noticed me. I made friends with the person I love now as we both came out of our shells, and after months of figuring out exactly what each other wanted and plenty of love sickness, we got together.

And everything is SO right.

Love can wait.

Hope I helped, and that you can understand this.

It's a fantastic comic and very true by the way. :)

[PsyQuandra]

Wow, that was beautiful. And Very true. I'm happy that you understand that the end of just one relationship isn't the end of all. Alot of girls, and women, don't understand that and I'm sure some have somewhere, while reading your comic. So, thank you lots.

~Psy~

[lil need of help]

Im 12 and want a boyfriend bad. I just dont know who. Ive fancied lods of boys but I wouldnt know how to start a realationship. help me...

[wiggy0713]

wwwwwwwaaaaaaa!!!!!!!! i dont want my eighth grade boyfriend to break up with me.even tho hes more afraid ill break up with him.

[kerry]

ohmylord. i think you wrote this comic especially for me. i am 16 and just broke things off with my summer love from summer camp. i was his first kiss, he said "i love you" at the end of the summer, and we promised to keep things going. the distance was too hard, and our relationship slowly deteriorated after a few months apart. he told me recently that he just doesn't love me anymore. i was devastated, because i really do still love him. i am slowly trying to move on.
this comic really helped me realize that things will work out for me. and that he isn't the end of my romantic life. thank you so much for this comic, it means a lot to me [:

[allyx]

That was frikin ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[I'Dajha Harris]

[amanda]

aw. this comic really hit a soft spot for me. it reminded me of myself and actually almost made me cry. anyway, really great comic :))

[Lili]

I am so glad I read this...I'm 19 and had been in a relationship with an amazing guy until a few weeks ago. We had been together over 4 years and were really planning our future together. Things don't always work out as planned, and this is what makes life interesting. I still love him, and we're working on things but if it doesn't work out then I'm just glad that it happened. Thanks Martina!

[lizzie]

i have never been in love. I dont know how it feels. some times i think maybe i will never be in love. Love is a powerfull felling. take it from me! dont take it for granted. if you look away from it it may never come back.

[Ashley]

wow I really loved this comic. it made me feel really good. favortie i've read

<3

[allie]

I'm im love right now and i feel like its my first we've been going for 2 and a half months but when i see him my heart starts pumping really fast, i get butterflies in my tummy, and i cant breath, i think hes my first real love, but im noy sure if i should kiss him yet or if i should wait.

[Meredith]

:) wow. keep up your dating status.i have only loved one guy so far.but recently he has broken my heart and i have moved on.its getting along fine but he still looks at me like i like him but i don't like him at all,anymore.

[Monica]

Wow!! This comic really touched me. I have never felt completely whole or able to love again, since the break up with my first love in may of '07. We still hang out a lot. But now he is dating one of my friends. And I still feel in love with him. I really related to this comic

[martina_fugazzotto]

OMG, gURLs I had to share this with you: I'm talking on IM to the summer camp boy in the comic right now! just had to let you know. xoxo-martina

[Janelle]

I loved this! No I love this!!
I think I can get over my old loves, not forget but move on and learn to love even more.

[Chase]

wow that's so deep! I loved it! I totally agree!!!

[rebecca]

I adore u and your wonderful comix! thanks for sharing your amzing art and writing skills to cheer me up! cuz ur comix just cheer me up!

[Britt]

OMG! This comic was da bomb ! I loved reading it. And its true no less ! I truely love it. And its wierd that the guy that you loved back in 1996 (i think it was), that he contacted you again :) but its nice at the same time.
anyways, Great Job Hunn <3

[cicil]

really kyuteeeeee comic ., loved it.,

i dumped my ex bf a yr ago, rite now i fell in luv wid ma frnd.,..... its a secret crush., jus wonderin if i should open up..

[QUCHAE]

i love this comix!!!
^^_

[Eve]

I never really loved a guy... :(

[Oasis]

it is comforting to know that if you break up with somoene you love, he's just the firsty in a long line of loves. My mother says "You only get one true love in life if you're lucky" Idk, maybe it's different for different people.

[deb]

i really liked this comic it was very sweet.i havent been in love yet,only two crushes,or three,or four.lol

[Cassandra]

I really liked this comment it shows that no matter how many times we think we are in love and no matter how many times we are so sure we'll never love again we probably will so we just need to keep our heads held hi and keep on trying and eventually we will find the right guy

[winnie]

i believe that we all deserve the act of loving and it feels great 2 luv someone.when a breakup happens to b i think we should not give up since we all have a purpose in our lives.

[gracie]

my frst love just dumped me.....and im still heartbroken...

[Natalie]

I liked it, the thing about me though is I've been in what I would consider true love twice. The first one I still hold on to because much of what I got from in continues to be a mojor part of me today. My love of science and of water, and just who I am.

Of course any loves shifts who you are, but my second love, losing it was so hard that to get over him, to finally stop thinking about him everyday and sometimes crying, I had to write him letters, and they would get splattered in tears because I wouldnt send them to him, i would rip them up, and little by little i finally came to accept it, the most important thing I held from that love was the ability to enjoy what you have when you have it, but to know how to deal when its not there anymore, because nothing truley lasts forever, nothing but memories, the one thing you cannot destroy.

[Lyn :]]

This was a really nice commic. :]

[secretive]

awww... my first love has jst dumped me and i cryed fr days. it still hurts like mad and i cant imagine life withiout him.. he's moved on... i kept think 'why cant i move on as if the last year or so of my life didnt happen?'
yhoor commic showed me i will move on. im not his first love.. more like his 10th love so i see how its easier for his to forget and live his life. thanks for this comic. its given me hope and showed me that maybe just maybe there's someone else for me. . . .

[chantelle]

this reminds me about my boyfriend. not only is he my 1st but i just started dating him. i hope it works out

[Jayjay]

omg, this comic is so true
im with mi first proper boyfriend right now and i really think he is my first love. It's hard to imagine one day leaving him, but knowing that it probably will. Loving someone is a beautiful experience and you'll know when you've caught it

[Jordan]

This is so precious and true. Although I have only really had one (current) boyfriend ever, I feel like I've experienced things that have prepared me for this relationship. I know how to argue (good on you for adding that), how to say no, how to assert, and how to be compassionate. You live and learn, and it hurts to think of "forever," so just enjoy the ride while you're still on it, aye?

[Ellie]

Whoa.I love this comic A-LOTT
And it's so true, it really makes a lot of girls think[including me] xOxO

[Dana]

Thanks for sharing!
