Aw man, you guys had
famous crushes?! And
reciprocal famous crushes no less? Jeez! Most of my teenage crushes were the type of guys one suspects will end in early graves, or at least whacked out on cocaine...
Well, "famous" is a bit much in my case probably -- he's easily Googleable, put it that way.
Tell us about one of your teenage crushes, tho...! (I had a few of those too... but the one I was most certain would end badly [drugs, angst, risks] is now a perfectly nice, responsible guy who I'm still in touch with...)
Ooh. Lovely topic.
Mine actually got back in touch with me about a year ago, found my name where I had put the whole name, er, somewhere online, something like 5 years ago. He's also slightly famous (local politics but not in this state). We dated very briefly in college and then he had to leave school because his father had died and he had to go home and support his family.
Dark dark black black hair, pale pale pale blue eyes and tall. Very shy and self-deprecating, too. We email on occasion but he's busy with, heh, reelection. He must be out kissing babies, I think. Is also google-able but the name is rather common.
You're all lucky I don't have my scanner up and running... no, not re the music teacher.
I want links!!!
I started crushing earlier than most here. Hmmmm. In sixth grade I had two crushes. One I kissed at the end of the year and the other much later.
Some in our class went to a camp on Cape Cod at the end of the year as sort of a graduation from elementary school party. We had 4-8 kids in a cabin each with a camp grown up. We had activities and bonfires, ghost stories and late night whispers. I also wandered around - to the old tennis courts with clam shells on them where gulls had dropped them for their meaty insides. To the beach where I did back flips off the high sand dunes and no-handed cartwheels on the beach. Once as I wandered I stumbled onto a game of spin the bottle that my grade-mates were playing. I joined in for one spin. It landed on SR. My first kiss. I saw stars, I swooned, I damn near blacked out. So, I left immediately and never spoke to him again. Damn was he cute. Big green eyes, dark hair and freckles.
The other sixth grade crush became my 'boyfriend' in middle school. We spent a lot of time together for a few months. We had make-out sessions and did fun stuff like lighting our socks on fire. He moved away and we drifted apart. He was also cute, blue eyes, floppy blond hair...... He died when we were in high school when a car he was riding in was wrapped around a light pole. First friend to die, even though we'd fallen out.
oh man i love you wimminz so much.

because im one of those bad guys thats no good for a girl.
I got an invitation to my high school class's annual picnic in August. I usually don't care much about such things but, for the first time, I'm giving some serious consideration to going after looking at all the pictures of people I haven't seen in several decades. Dang, some of them sure aged well!

lol just how you said that. help em with your love.

My first big crush happened when I went to kindergarten in Davis, CA. Her name was Jenny. She had shoulder-long, straight blond hair, blue eyes, and the sweetest smile in the world. We were both four years old, and the crush was mutual. Every time my mother walked to the playground with me, I would nag until she relented, we made a detour to Jenny's house, and asked if she wanted to come, too. Likewise, every time Jenny had a playdate at her house, she would make sure her mother invited me.
Given our tender age, our crush never got more physical than holding hands, endlessly staring into each other's eyes, and the occasional cuddle. Nevertheless, it was a full-blown, honest-to-goodness crush. It was distinctly different from any feeling I ever had about, say, my sisters.
Jenny and I lost track of each other almost immediately after my family moved back to Germany. Our fathers were both post-docs at the time, so I figure her family didn't stay long either. But my crush on Jenny has survived without Jenny, just as the smile of Lewis Carrol's Cheshire Cat survived without the cat. Thirty-two years after I'd left, I came back to Davis for the first time. I visited the Community Park with its still-existing playground. There were two houses in Davis to which I could immediately find my way from the playground. One was our own; the other was Jenny's.
