your first crush--crush stories

butch mc cown. he had buck teeth and blonde hair, but he was still the hottest hottie in the second grade. every day he wrote the name of the girl he liked on his arm in pen. my name graced his flesh one day and i had to share it with my brownie troop after school. it was most exciting. he also rubbed my back during reading hour.

first famous crush: henry thomas (elliott from ET). the scene where he frees the frogs and then steps on the kid's back to kiss the girl, mimicking john wayne's actions in 'the quiet man' which ET is watching at home: damn, i was so jealous. that was hardcore love, right there. i sat in the front row of the theatre every time i went to see ET the summer it was released.

Well there was the first time I saw my older female cousin. She is 2 years older than me, and with her long blonde hair she was just the most beautiful being I'd ever seen. I was only about 5 at the time and quickly set right. I haven't had an incestious thought since. True story.

Kindergarten or first grade. Either Janey Garcia or Maria, can't remember her last name, too long ago, but I do remember her face. Can't remember which was my first crush. Probably was both of them around the same time.

Not really looking forward to replay thatsequence of my life again, maybe if I've had a few drinks in me

4th grade. Walking home from school with my best mate Steve one day, we were "cornered" by two girls from school. Patty Luna had me trapped against a garden wall, and said she wanted to kiss me. I recoiled in horror, then made a clean getaway.

I really wanted to kiss her, too.

Years later, at our 20th high school reunion, we talked quite a lot; I also spent some time talking to her date/boyfriend. A nice guy. Reminded me of myself. So I didn't make a play for her then. Oh, and I was living with someone, although THAT relationship was on its way down the bog.

Sometime within the past year, I looked her up on classmates dot com. She describes her politics as "very conservative." Sigh.

Can't remember the name of my first real major crush as a child (it had to be sometime in elementary school), but once puberty set in and my self-esteem decreased there have only been a few memorable ones:

Beth H (sophmore year) - way-out-of-my-league girl who probably regretted giving me her phone number (can you say "couldn't take a hint?"). Nothing sinister about it, and when we ran into one another recently she seemed happy to see me. Not happy enough to jump my bones, but happy nonetheless.

Brooke H. (junior year) - fellow Beatle-maniac, waited far too long to ask her out. Still wish I could have that one back.

skipping ahead a few years...

Bonnie M (grocery store) - first great love of my freakin' life. Very similar to "The Office" (she was with a jerk co-worker, while I secretly-or-not-so-secretly pined for her). Went out once, but she was just coming out of a relationship and we never got together. In the army now, far away from the Middle East thankfully.

Michelle (girl I asked out my last night at W-D) - actually saw her earlier today, she still looks good and still likes talking to me. Perhaps our story's not over...

The new girl (whose name I don't feel like typing for fear of violating her privacy...even though I've done that to the girls listed already) - We're in the casual flirting stage, I do think she likes me (whether enough to leave her boyfriend, time will tell). Very cute, very likable, and she knows my name. That's three of my top five attributes for women (the other two? I'll keep those to myself )

I completely forgot about Anne from the Lakes Entrance Kindergarten, we had a few kisses from memory. The last I heard about her is that she was heavily into drugs.

Mum used to tell the story of me as soon as I could walk, at a swimming pool, going up to a girl giving her a kiss and stealing her ice cream.

To my eternal shame its all documented on photos.

Take heed, girls. ;)

I'm obviously cursed with Stephanies.

I cannot remember well but her name was Sophie, a blond haired girl. I would not recognise her today. Mind, I kissed her at the maternelle (kindergarten)...

At the edge of 12 something I have been violently bashed by a boy - not knowing why. He did that because Marie-Cecile told him that I was the prettiest in the classroom. And Marie-Cecile was the prettiest girl indeed... but it turned very quick as a attraction/repulsion and love/hate relationship. Something between pride and cowardness, I do not know...

Had a crush on a girl called Lisa at the age of about 5 at Infants.Was shocked and blown away when one day she turned round and said she wanted to marry me when she grew up.

Maria. We were 4 yeras old, and neighbours. When she was 10, her family moved to the other side of town. Didn't see or talked to her until I was 18. She and her family wanted to see how their old house looked, and they also knocked on our door. God, was a glad to meet her again.

We had a releationship for a couple of months, but decided to just be friends instead.

Haven't seen her for 10 years now, but I know she's married and have 2 kids.

first crush-1974 when blackburn won 3rd div title at port vale,pitch invasion. oooooo not that kind of crush!!! o.k. stunning dark haired english actress called lesley-anne-down around 1973

Girl called Jane, when we were ten. We were good friends when we were growing up, wet our separate ways after school. Sadly she was killed in a car crash three years ago, just after I'd arranged to meet her for the first time in 20 years.

sorry to hear about that. i had a similar experience with a high school crush--he was only 16 when he died. the worst part wasn't losing someone who was unbearably gorgeous, a top cross-country runner, shockingly intelligent and a talented drummer, but the death of one of the kindest people at school, who went out of his way to be friends with everyone. everyone. all of those qualities in one person? so rare. such a needless loss (he wasn't wearing his seatbelt, apparently).

dominick in KG. i was afraid to go into dominicks at the time cause i thought she'd be there.

2nd and longest lasting crush, lavinia matteson from like 6th grade trough 8th and i went to the same high school she went to hoping she'd date me but i met other girls instead i had crushes on. lavinia was too smart for me anyways. and i remember asking her out in 7th grade with this big ass white head pimple that leaked puss. now that takes guts :) she still said no.
