Childhood Crushes?

Did you guys ever have a childhood crush? I did, and I’ll never forget her. I met her in third grade, and she moved away after fourth grade (talk about heartbreak). We still write letters to each other though, and I think we’re gonna start emailing. She was a really friendly girl. I remember in third grade, our class was writing stories, and I wrote something about Kingdom Hearts, and she wrote something about anti-animal abuse. Oh man, I’m getting tears in my eyes just thinking about her.

Oh you mean an actual crush! I thought you meant like a celebrity crush. I’m not sure if I’d call it a crush, but I had a close friendship with a boy when i was very young, around age 5. Maybe it he who was crushing on me, since he asked me to marry him and gave me a ring (a kiddie type ring, he didnt go to the jewelers or anything!). Unfortunately we grew apart and rarely saw each other outside of school. And once we got to high school I really only saw him in passing, since he was a year younger than me.

He gave you a ring? That’s hilarious! I remember back in fourth grade when that girl told me she was moving, I actually contemplated about giving her a real ring (I actually had two at the time, still do.), but I didn’t. Actually this year in sixth grade, when somebody asks me if I have a girlfriend, I’ll be like “yeah” and then I’ll bring her up, and I’ll say stuff like “But she moved away.” I haven’t told her though, don’t plan to ethier.

Well, at primary school we were still so young that there was always that ‘boys versus girls’ thing and so I didn’t really have any crushes then, and I went to an all-girls’ high school so I didn’t have much of a chance then either, really. :laughing: There was one boy in primary school who used to hang out with us girls a lot more than the others, and he was probably my best guy friend at that sort of age, but I never really had a proper crush on him or anything.

In grade school, there were two boys who it seemed every girl in my grade had a crush on. I had a crush on one more so than the other. He was a nice kid. Once we got to junior high, I only ever saw them in passing. There’s something about your first crush though that you never forget, no matter how many years pass.

Lol, yeah. I think I was 5. He was 4. I’m not really sure what happened to it. I guess it mustve gotten thrown out or something, cuz I dont think I have it.

Awww, that’s too bad. I still have all the letters my crush gave me and sent me, though. I still have the first one, it was a Anakin Skywalker Valentine’s Day card that says “To a most powerful friend”. :smiley:

The only crushes Iv’e ever had were on cartoon characters, particularly Woody. :wink:

Oh geez, don’t remind me. I had a crush on the “pretty boy deep down was rude moron.” guy. My friend and I who both liked him left love letters at his door, dressed in black like NINJAS. He saw us. I still headdesk at the memory. xD

My first crush was a girl named Abby in the 1st grade, most people knew I liked her and we were othen made fun of being boyfriend and girlfriend. At her 7th birthday party she tault me how to skate and I was very nervois holdering her hand. She moved in the middle of 2nd grade but recently we been keeping in touch.

I had a few childhood crushes. I won’t say much about her/them, but one was a twin, and another was a loud-mouth.

I mentioned elsewhere I had a lot of female friends in my childhood. I would say they appealed to me on an intellectual level, but the truth is, I was hopeless at sports and ‘boy stuff’. My parents would tease me endlessly on my ‘girlfriend of the week’. They’ll say I like this girl for a while, and then another, and so on. Being an innocent kid, I loved them as friends, and I did have guy friends as well (but I was not as close). My best mate, in fact, was a girl in primary (elementary school). I still meet up with her every now and then lately, but I think she’s already starting to see someone… I remember when I left my primary school, all the girls wrote me a giant farewell card with their well wishes scribbled in it. It was so touching, it brought me to tears.

Anyway, I then entered high school, with the cliques and ‘cooties’ and snobbery. I tried being friends with the girls, but they didn’t reciprocate, and the guys made me an easy target. I did have a crush on an Arab girl (short, frizzy hair, dark skin) but the rest found out somehow and teased me about it. The girl didn’t think much about it, and after a while, neither did I. I was too humiliated by my classmates to even bother making friends at all.

I did have several more ‘sweethearts’ throughout my secondary school, and I even became lab partners with one (an adorable round-faced girl with glasses from China on exchange), but I sadly didn’t reveal my feelings to any of them, and my love remained unrequited (one of them even found a bf).

I have lost contact with all my high-school ‘buddies’ (because really, I didn’t have any I could trust back then) except one I rediscovered on FB recently. I’m currently platonic friends with a couple of girls, but I’m unattracted to any of them. Yet.

Guess what! Remember that girl I mentioned in the first post on this thread? Well, I’m going to her house over the summer! Can someone say sleep-over?!? :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

LOL! I had a crush on Little Bo Peep back when I was 5. :smiley:

I lied. In 7th grade, Iiked my my math teacher, but he was 3o something, married, and had 2 kids…

LOL! Similar things have happened to me before too. It’s kind of funny when you look back on it though. XD

I don’t remember having an actual childhood crush at all. I’m not sure if celebrity crushes are valid.
