When did you have your first crush?

Post Reply New Topic

At thirteen. I did many stupid things, but had the sense not to tell her. I'm sure it was obvious to her anyway. She seemed amused, the kind of amusement you feel when a little dog or monkey has a crush on you. I looked mentally ret*d to her and to most other classmates.

i was in grade 4 when i had my first crush, so i was probably 8-9 y/o. in grade 4, we had a split class where half the class was grade 4 and the other half was grade 5. i had a crush on one of the grade 5 kids. i can still remember his name and what he looked like. he was the popular, athletic, funny type, though was a little bit rebellious due to overconfidence. whenever i talk about him with people, i joke about having used to be into slightly bad boys.

anyways though, i thought he was completely out of my league. back then i was obese, nerdy, a teacher's pet, and most of all — awkward as hell. i remember this one conversation i had with him where i was trying to make him laugh by pointing out how the word ' beach ' sounds like the swear word ' b _ _ _ _, ' proceeding to even emphasize the sound in some clownish way. he seemed to find it funny and chuckled but thinking back on it, i really don't know if he was laughing more out of being nervous and uncomfortable or actually being amused.

but yeah, since he was popular ( not only in our class, but in our school ), there were obviously other people who had a crush on him. there was one girl in particular in my class that was also a grade 5 student who, i can't remember how, but somehow figured out that i liked that boy. what i do remember though is that the girl started asking me a bunch of questions like ' why do you like him ' and things like that. when i couldn't give a strong enough answer — at least in her eyes — she advised that i try to forget about him and at the time, i thought she was being nice for looking out for me like that. however, i later learned that she also had a crush on him, which made me wonder if she had done that on purpose to try and sabotage me. shrugs.

My first crush: age 3. A boy in my daycare. He had very dark, almost black shiny hair and sapphire blue eyes. I found him very beautiful, and gave my parents daily report on everything he said and did. He was the first boy I noticed but maybe calling it a crush is going a bit far.

The next was when I was 7. He was in my class, and the two times I met him outside of school (accidentally) the conversation went like this:
Him: Hi.
Me:Hi.
*looking down, feeling giddy and shy and as if I'm suppressing laughter yet I'm not*
Him: Do you know my name?
Me: Yes.
* looking down, giggling, feeling like I'm blushing even more*
Him: What is it then?
Me: (saying his name)
*feeling like I've said the greatest thing ever, still giggling*

I think that qualifies as a crush. I had all the silly infatuated reactions, although sadly I must say I did better communicating with him than I did my later crushes

I always wondered how it's possible for toddlers to have crushes even way before acquiring the hormones..... fascinating isn't it?
Surely they were not sexual, but i recall they were romantic nevertheless.

A girl called Joan in the year above me at primary school. I still think about her quite a lot to this day, though I never exchanged any words with her and she might never have even known who I was.

I'm unsure.

I remember when I was around 10 there was some pressure to have interest in boys, and I remember people in my class "pairing" me with a boy from other class, but I don't remember have any feeling about him. I had my first kiss in a similar situation while I was 12, and again, I remember people pairing me with this guy but I didn't had anything for him, I just wanted to fit in so I followed on the love thing.

All my interest in people were quite rational or influenced. I never really had this "crush" thing, with my only boyfriend – which I could maybe classify as my first love, at 23, as it was the only person I had romantic interest and suffered for it - I know I love him but it was a processed feeling, I didn't saw him and felt it. We had a lot of discussion about it, because one of reasons we broke up is because he say he don't really have this "click" thing with me, but I can't understand what that meant.

1st grade, it was a girl who sat next to me. She was always taking her shoes off in class, so I tried it once, and got caught...the teacher decided I needed double-knots in my laces so I wouldn't lose them again

First real crush was probably 7th grade, we were in band together, and Math (I think?) class. We spent most of that class just flirting with each other in the back of the room.

It was just like in the movies, with the whole "floating on clouds" and everything else. All of the time. If only those kinds of feelings could be bottled and preserved.

I was too chicken to ask her out or anything, and I dropped out of band in 8th grade, and she wasn't in any of my classes.

I was nine, maybe ten years old.
