Describe your first "crush"

[begin_within]

No names of course. I'll start. When I was 9, a family lived across the street from us, with 3 kids, and the oldest boy was also 9. I didn't know him, but I had a fascination with him. I remember feeling fear when I saw him outside, but it was not a fear that he would hurt me or anything. I just remember that anxiety upon seeing him. He was kind of like this mysterious "magic guy" to me. I didn't think of it as a sexual thing, as I was only 9 and had no realistic grasp of what sexual things were at that age. It was just an intense feeling an curiosity about him, and a charge whenever I saw him - but also a lot of anxiety whenever I saw him. I remember the 3 of the kids going in for the evening, and watching him go in the door, then the door would shut, and that would be it. Sadly I never did connect with him or make friends with him. I don't think I ever really had an actual conversation with him either. Just a couple of "Hi" moments when we passed each other on bikes. One time my Mom did say to me, "He wants to learn you." I spent the rest of the day wondering what that meant.

1. Christiane or Chrissy - I was ten.

Sigh. :loveya:

[begin_within]

2. and?

[billyskank]

3. And nothing.

I was ten, ferchrissakes! :D

[begin_within]

5. i didn't mean that. I meant the circumstances, your feelings, what you remember, etc.

[billyskank]

7. Oh, right.

She was a girl in my class, and I just remember noticing one day how pretty she was. I'd known her for a couple of years before that. I also remember that was the first time I ever felt any kind of attraction to any girl.

She grew up pretty, too, unlike many girls who are pretty at school but grow up to be so-so. (And many girls who were plain at school grow up to be beautiful adults). She was a nice person as well.

:)

13. cool thanks

[Bertha Venation]

4. Her name was Beth. She was a year older and she was the 3rd baseman

on the varsity softball team. She taught me to play field hockey. :loveya:

[begin_within]

6. That is sweet.

A great memory.

[Bertha Venation]

8. Indeed, it is a wonderful memory.

We were in the auditioned chorus together, too. I always wondered how she got in . . . :rofl:

[begin_within]

19. Maybe it was that copy of "Rubyfruit Jungle" she left on the choir director's desk

[Bertha Venation]

28. LOL!

:thumbsup:

[redqueen]

9. I guess I was around 10.

This smart, sweet, geeky guy with great taste in music and a wicked sense of humor. He also had nice full lips and nice hair. Unfortunately I think he was smitten with a mutual friend, who shared our excellent taste in music and geeky smartness. But she was also hot and blonde... she was smitten with the 'bad boy' at school.

[Symarip]

10. It was so good

I had to have another!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

12. goes good with spine

yes.indeed.

[Enrique]

11. my second grade teacher

looking at her in class pictures now, she's the spitting image of Shelley Duvall, in garish 70's clothes.

[Forkboy]

14. Either my second grade teacher or Jacklyn Smith.

I can't remember which came first...so to speak.

[begin_within]

22. have you seen her now?

Jaclyn Smith at 60

[redqueen]

24. Yay for face and boob lifts!

:woohoo:

[Forkboy]

26. She has an ad running now where she looks even better.

More like this.



She still looks fantastic, and she seems pretty cool to boot from what I've seen and heard, which makes her even more attractive.

[Heidi]

15. I kissed him on the cheek and he said, "I'd rather be dead than red on the head."

So, bite me, Robbie. :hi:

[begin_within]

18. Well that is a stupid line he had. I'm glad you never went further with him.

[billyskank]

27. What a fucking idiot.

Red haired girls rule. I thought everybody knew this.

[skygazer]

16. My neighbor friend's older brother

I was 8. He was 11. An older man. ~sigh~

He had rugged good looks, tall with a mop of brown hair and a rakish smile. He was very popular. Since I lived in the country, I had no near neighbors with kids except their family so the daughter and I, who were the same age, and the brother and my brother, who were the same age, hung out together a lot (she had a crush on my brother as well).

He was the first boy I ever kissed (when I was all of about 9) and ended up being the first boy I ever slept with (by sheer coincidence). And we're still good friends though I haven't seen him in a number of years.

[SOteric]

17. It fizzled,

It was cold, sweet and orange with a light, citrusy flavour and the intense tang of artificial oranges.

[begin_within]

25. At least you got your deposit back. And you never know,

your crush may have been totally consumed by you.

[MilesColtrane]

20. Karen C.

We were both 11. She sat next to me in band.

Whenever she smiled at me I got all melty inside.
She had dark hair and glasses. Attributes I appreciate to this day.

I dreamed of kissing her, but she moved away before I could make my move. The pain.....

[RFKHumphreyObama]

21. It was actually on a much older woman

Even at the age of five or six, I was attracted to women at least twenty years older than myself. The woman in question was a guest at a Christmas Party that my parents had and I spent the whole evening talking to her and playing games with her. The crush lasted a couple of months at the most.

[Runcible Spoon]

23. my parents swear mine was Lionel Richie when I was 5.

I guess I would put on this one little dress I loved and jump around all over the house when Dancing on the Ceiling came on. Of course, my memory blessedly spared me of this traumatic period in my formative childhood.

[1Hippiechick]

29. Orange. I was eight. n/t

[MorningGlow]

30. David Cassidy

I was 5. I still like shaggy-haired dudes.

[Mojambo]

31. In second grade. A cute blonde named (I'm not kidding) Bunny. n/t

[Deja Q]

32. How much money would I win if I do?

[begin_within]

42. A date with me and 25 cents

[mokawanis]

33. Kindergarten

she promised to be my girlfriend but betrayed me the very next day when another kid gave her a decorative jar. I got dumped because of a fucking pickle jar decorated with ribbons.

[tigereye]

34. Denny in my Catholic school in 6th grade

He's already been married 3- 4 times from what I have heard... good thing that never went anywhere!

[redqueen]

35. Hahaha

that cracked me up. :hi:

[tigereye]

37. it makes me laugh a little too

he was really cute, though, and very sweet when we were kids.

[Joey Liberal]

36. My first crush

She was the most beautiful girl that I had ever seen. And when we finally kissed, it was the greatest kiss of my life. She was way out of my league. I only saw her when she visited relatives in my town. I loved being around her. She came from a well to do family. I came from a lower middle class family. She was good in school and wore nice clothes. I was a juvenile delinquent and a teen aged alcoholic. She always treated me great. I've never met any other woman that comes close to her. She was from Greenwich, Conn., and I'm convinced that the most beautiful women in America are from Greenwich.

[The Inquisitive]

41. Greenwich is a trophy wife training ground

tons of beautiful girls live there as a result.

[Joey Liberal]

44. Agreed - tons of beautiful girls live there nt

[SallyMander]

38. Bon Jovi

:D

[triguy46]

39. I was 14, she 15...

We met at the first practice of the Fairway Kansas swim team, when i gallantly lent her a towel to warm up. It was a doomed romance, my dad had been notified of a transfer to Tulsa at the end of the summer. So the romance was 10 weeks with the most definite of endings. I'm not sure i've ever gotten over it. Sheesh.

[otherlander]

40. Seems like everyone else was getting them at nine...

That would be what, fourth grade? Yeah, I think I remember a lot of fourth graders talking about their crushes. So I pretended to have crushes on a couple of boys, because everyone else had one, so it seemed like the cool thing to do. I didn't get my first real one until thirteen, though... Her name was Lauren. She was... gothic. She wore pentagram jewelery, heavy eyeliner, dyed her naturally-brown hair jet black. She wrote poetry. And short fantasy stories. And erotica. I was depressed. Not suicidal, just depressed. But a rather inexperienced psychologist feared what might happen to him if I wound up killing myself, so he decided that I needed to go to the psych ward. Lauren, diagnosed schizophrenic, was there because she had assaulted a police officer, but had no memory of doing it. At the time that she pulled the knife on him, all she was seeing was a white hall without doors or windows, lined by robed men without eyes or mouths. Her grandparents had been rich landowners in Cuba Before The Revolution, and fled to America when the uprisings started. When Lauren was born, they filled her head with lies about how great Cuba had been in the early 1950's and how the Communists had ruined everything. She, in turn, told those lies to me. I knew they were lies, but I didn't say anything. Would you have said anything? Hey, it was first love.

[NanceGreggs]

43. His name was Jimmy ...

... we were in the same class in the second grade.

He was an only child, and greatly indulged by his parents. He lived way on the other side of town. But when he told his parents that he was "in love", they agreed to come and pick me up on Sundays after mass, and bring me to their house where Jimmy and I could share the afternoons.

We would sit in front of the TV, our arms around each other, talking about how we would get married when we grew up - how many kids we'd have, what kind of house we'd live in, etc.

Midway through the school year, Jimmy's father took a job in another state, and they moved away.

I felt like my life was over - surely I would never love again.

I was inconsolable for at least two days - when Joey, another classmate, kissed me in the schoolyard and pledged his undying affection. He sealed the deal with a chocolate Hershey bar.

Jimmy who?
