Who was your first crush?

Think way back to the first time you were in love with someone. My first crush was in elementary school. I was really amazed by this girl in my class named Beth Hanberry (I'm guessing that's how the last name was spelled). I use to do everything to get this girl's attention, and she would always ignore me. One time in the first grade I gave her one of those letters, you know the one "if you like me check yes." I slipped it to her during class, and then I looked away. I was nervous. I was actually expecting her to check "yes", or even "maybe". Then she put the letter back on my desk, and I opened it up with a big goofy smile on my face. I was so shocked when I saw it. Not only did she check a big "no" but at the bottom she put "I hate you." I was so upset that I wrote back "I hate you too." She started crying when she saw it, and the teacher got mad at me. I tried several other times to get her to like me by buying her ice cream, and giving her candy. Nothing ever worked. What about you? Share your first crush experience with us.

Why do you say no need to turn back? Are you happy with the girl you have? Because you say "sad to say she is not mine." As if you still wish you could be with her.

ah well that's good then. She must be special. I was so happy when I first started talking to my wife. She made me forget all my ex's. Like none of that mattered anymore.

hi there redhotpogo, Oooohh.. talking bout love aren't we? hahaha..anyway, my first crush was a friend of mine and we met during the entrance exam during High School and we were sitting beside each other. (yeah i know, you might be thinking isn't that quite old to have a first crush? well, im not really attracted to people easily and i just don't care.lol.) Anyway, I was sitting beside him during the test and he dropped his pencil and it rolled towards me and so i picked it up and returned it to him then when i saw his face I fell in love with him (so i guess my first crush was my first love..haha)then when i handed him his pencil he said thank you and my heart really skipped that time. Then who would have thought that we would both pass the test and enter the same school and better yet we became friends though I don't think he remembers that i was sitting beside him at that time. So during my whole high school we became friends and classmate for some years and through all that time I wasn't even able to tell him how I feel cause Im scared that it might affect our friendship so I just kept it a secret and only i and some of our friends knew about it. And now were in college, too bad we didn't go to the same university but its fine cause he goes to the same university with my best friend and our other friends so we could still catch up with each other somehow. And yeah, until now I think I still love him though Im trying to get over him i just can't. I even had a BF just to forget about him but it didn't work so i split up with my ex. What a bummer! its so sad really. lmao

Ya I actually was thinking that "Isn't that a little old to have a first crush." But then I thought after that girl I never had another crush in school, so if I hadn't of met her, I would have had one much later. I just got lucky (sorta). Isn't it amazing how someone you love can just put you in this dream land. The smallest things they do are so amazing. Someone hands you a pencil its like "yeah thanks." and you go on. But someone you are in love with hands you a pencil, and its like slow motion, and little hearts flying around. lol And wtf! Worried it will ruin your friendship. I can't stand when girls do that! Stop it! You can still be friends when you're together. You'll be even closer friends. What are girls thinking? Oh we're going out now, we can't be friends? Do you hate them when you go out with them? Girls are so frikin weird.

well what can I say i was 12 at that time and i really don't care about boys that much before..haha..Well not really ruin friendship is what i mean that's a bit exaggerated, its just that because of that well you couldn't avoid that awkward feeling you would be having after that moment and some other times when only the two of you were left alone. And maybe I was just scared to be rejected at that time. well being rejected is really a big thing to girls you know. Cause seriously I already saw some people changing their attitude/personality towards other people after knowing that that person likes him and stuff. And seriously i don't get it. I mean why does everything has to change its not like that person became a totally different person and change appearance and stuff, she just said she likes you and all. Yeah its weird. haha

Ah ya rejection is humiliating, and just sucks hard. Especially if its from someone you are in love with. Most people will avoid it so that they aren't embarrassed. And also if you don't ask, then at least you can always think to yourself "I could have had a chance."

hello redhotpogo, My first crush was in elementary school too. Her name is Bianca Canlas and I really had a big crush on her when I was in grade 1 until grade 3. She's a really nice girl and we always talk to each other. I remember that there was even a time when she pinched my cheek and I got really speechless for what she did. Then I always go to her house after class since I really don't copy the notes we have on the blackboard. Hahayz. That was like years ago... ^^

whoa you got to go over to her house? I would have been so jealous. Sounds like she had a crush on you too. Did you ever go out with her?

that would be my class mate when i was 7th grade. he is too good to be true for me. i did a lot of effort and wish that i can get his attention. started by always staring at him, smiling at him..but that does not work

Of course that doesn't work. When you just smile at a guy they think you are just being nice, or maybe he could have thought you were smiling at him in a snobby way. You should have gone and talked to him. Guys are very bad at reading body language, and noticing signs. Girls are all about signs, guys are not. If you are interested in a guy you need to tell him in plain english, or whatever language you speak how you feel about him.

Whoa that's a crazy situation. So glad I'm not dealing with that. I wish you the best of luck is all I can say. Chicks. You must really be in love with this girl though if you've been crushing on her for so long.

Hahahaha. That was a funny story. I keep thinking back to my elementary days to remember who was my first crush, but I'm not really sure, but the most that I can remember is that I liked this one guy, when I was in 4th grade I think, he used to court me, and of course I wasn't going to say yes because I was too young then. But I really like him, and he was really good in courting, like giving me gifts, calling me at our house and all those stuff. LOL. It's quite funny, now that I think back to it. Cause we were so young and so immature at that. Hehehe.

My very first (yeah that's "very" because I had a lot of crushes during my youngers days. She is Jaarmy Suzara, an elementary friend. My crush on her began when we were at Grade 2 level in elementary, then it flourished until Grade 5. We were even paired all the time. This 'crush' state developed int puppy love. But we have to part ways after graduating from elementary. But we exchanged letters during that four years. We again met after four years but no more love around. She had her boyfriends come and go and I do have my own partners as well. Thanks to God we are still friends up to this time, but have each partner in life now.

You were hoping there was still something there though, when you saw her again after 4 years right? I would be. Oh well first crushes don't last forever. And you did get a really close friend out of it, so that's good.
