As you say it's not about stopping to love your first love, it's about being able to let someone else in. In my head my first love is someone that I loved when we were together, & it's not necessarily that I ever fell out of love with him, just that I'm not that person anymore. It's hard but important to be able to separate the time you spent with him & the rest of your life (ie other people) All you can do is try to grow into yourself more. Before you begin to start finding someone new to be with & fall in love with you need to be at terms with yourself. Use your first love experience as growth in yourself, take what you've learnt & grow into yourself even more. Spend more time with your friends & become happy within yourself. This can take time, but seriously once your out of a relationship the most important thing is to spend time in your own life without being with someone.
When the right person comes along hopefully you'll feel ready to give yourself to someone like that again. But remember that your first love is in your past, not your present anymore. Life has to go on & you do deserve to be happy.
Good luck
