Hi mylot-ers... I think everything that is FIRST cant never be forgotten... you know the reason why the first is always forever in your mind, because it gives you deep impression after all. The first time in mylife... hehehe... How old were you when you had your first crush? When i had my first crush, i was 13years old... it was in my first year in secondary high... heheh. My crush was a moslem, while me iam a christian. He is the smartest and most handsome guy in the school. Every girls idolized him so much because of his posture and his face so gorgeous... He is the topic of gossip from time to time... that was the story in my secondary high for first year. I like this guy and im shy if he passed by... he is the most popular guy in the school, just like a star, he was so bright and shiny. During lunch break, after eating, he will play soccer in the yard together with other boys at the gym... and since the gym is located in the center of the school... most people can watch them playing soccer... hahaha... mygosh... this guy was so hot and i really wanted him so bad. Later on, i found out his facebook and he got fat and tall. His face is chubby and he is not as handsome as before. i wonder why... i have no feeling anymore to him.

My first crush! A very interesting story is associated with it. I was in class 7 at that time, i.e. 12 yrs old. I had a crush on my science teacher. I went to her and told that I liked her. Then she took me to the school canteen and tried to make me understand that I should be concentrating on my studies at that time and that we had a very big age difference. Instead of scolding me and complaining to my parents, she decided to make me understand the reality. At that time I felt dejected but now I know that she had handled the situation brilliantly. Because of her guidance, I was able to compete in some of the toughest examinations and joined the college of my choice. I met her recently. She is now a mother of two and I am about to pass out of my college. We recalled that incidence and had a hearty laugh at the immaturity and openness that I had shown when I was younger.

I had a crush on my science teacher too, at about the same age!! Haha, I didn't have as much bravery as you to confess my crush however... it's strange how appealing teachers can be, because they are essentially standing in front of the class and performing for you. I also loved science, so that was a big part of the appeal as well!!! ;-) As far as my first "real" crush (i.e. someone in my age group), I was 11 years old I think. He was a drummer with me in the school band, and we used to always laugh and make jokes during rehearsal. I was so smitten, and he couldn't care less for me! But I think at that age group, boys are silly around girls because they don't know how to behave otherwise...

I was too young when i had my first crush. I think i was four years old then. I was in grade four when i had my first crush on my classmate. She is the brightest in the class and eventually became the school's valedictorian. Her name is Tricia. I have lost contact with her now but i think she is already married and with kids like some of my batchmates. I think i saw her previous months ago but i'm just not really sure if it was really her.

Well, I was 12 years old, when I had my first girlfriend and we were already talking about getting married! The problem was that she was just in the UK from overseas for the summer holidays and she was gone within 6 weeks.. Needless to say, we didn't elope, but I can still remember the tears quite well, although I have let go of it now.. Well I should have! - Derek

My first crush! how wonderful it was. I was 11 years old and he was 15, he used to work at our shop, he would send me messages on a piece of paper, and in rose petals, from my mum's garden, it was the purest love I ever had! But one day my father found out, and that was the end of it, he was dismissed from the job,and I never had an opportunity to say good bye. I was devastated and I used to think I would never love again. Today is a sweet memory that I treasure very much and Im thankful for it.

My very first crush was when I was 8 years old! At that time there was a show on TV called: The Rifleman, and his son on the show was called: Mark and boy did I ever have a crush on that kid! The kid's real name was Johnny Crawford and I hear he is now an orchestra leader with his own orchestra. Boy, after all these years I still think of him from time to time! I am now nearing 60 so that is a lot of years!

Same as you, my first crush was in my first year high school when I was 13 years of age.. I agree with you that first is always forever in your mind but of course it can't be forever in your heart.. Since he is your first crush, all of the other guys who you will look at will always have a comparison with your previous or first crush.. Well, this guy isn't that popular in our school.. He isn't the most handsome guy in our school.. But many girls like him in each level because his personality which is being friendly and a guy whose fun to with.. He is 2 years older to me.. We had met during one of the activity in our school which we both joined in that activity.. We have a meetings in that activity until we become closed.. We always talked "telebabad" at night for more than 2 hours a day.. But everything got changed when he had a girlfriend.. Of course, he can't always talked to me all the time just like before since his girlfriend might got jealous..Actually, all the people who had been part of our life always got jealous with our relationship and I don't know why... Well, because of this people our friendship had gone.. We didn't noticed that we both separated our paths already because of these people.. Now, I already have a boyfriend and we were together for 4 years.. On the other hand, he is engaged already to his girlfriend.. We still communicate with each other for occasionally.. Our friendship isn't that strong already.. Its already 9 years now and even though its already 9 years already still I'm sometimes thinking of him especially those happy moments... But I don't love him anymore the way I love him before.. As time goes by, it faded away especially there's someone had replaced him in my heart and that's my boyfriend..

Yeah. I still remember. My first crush was in primary school. Primary 3 in fact. And the way I tried to woo her was by giving her Batman comics to read. Hahaha.. Wonder what she's doing nowadays.. Hmmm..

I was 15 year old when I feel something amazing within me. My first crush was my teacher and when I started to see him in different gaze, he understand everything and...and he quit. So my first crush was too short and it does not fructify and I did not consider it my first love.

I always had a thing for the shy guys too! Something about them seemed so appealing, haha. It was like, *I* want to be the one who makes you come out of your shell!!

I had my first crush when I was around 8 years old. There was a beautiful girl who was studying in school, but much much older than me whom I saw when I went to school on the way. I used to go to school and come back from the school at the exact time she went to school just to see her. I think it is normal for the people to change in the appearance. Most of the people when they grew up change in their appearance. I have also found when I was younger a girl who was very attractive. After few years, I happened to see her again. I found that she had changed a lot and she didn't look as much attractive that she was longtime ago.

Hey there! You mean Muslim. Well, that's typical of being high school. But is that really your first ever crush? At the age of thirteen? That's too old to have a crush for the first time. I had my first crush when I was seven or eight. And guess who's my first crush. Alis Dixon! She was a very popular actress that time. She's very beautifull that's what I like about her.lol have a nice day. Happy posting!!

First love can't be forgotten.I was then only 18 years old and she was 15.I sent her love letter.But she did not reply.Third time she gave reply and accepted my love.It was like heaven came to me.I was then so emotional.She was my neighbour. Somehow our love not progressed.She is now far away to me.But still I remember her with pain.First love is like hidden treasure.I have kept it in my core of heart.

My very first crush was when I was in seventh grade. His name was Peter and I had been told by his friends that he liked me since sixth grade. I came to the school from Italy and when I arrived I was in sixth grade and could not speak English and it was tough; Peter was the one who came to my rescue and looked after me; he even gave me some presents! I was not interested in him beyond friendship until the following year and I eventually decided to write him a note telling him I liked him; he was thrilled and asked me to the school dance which unfortunately did not eventuate. I haven't seen him for over 30 years and I have heard that he is a minister now for a local church. I haven't been in touch, I am married now and I look back at Peter as a happy childhood memory.
