Who was your first crush?

[progmom]

Your first-grade teacher?
The little red-headed girl in spanish class?
The tough kid who lived down the block?
Mary Poppins?
Kermit the Frog?


Who was the first person/fictional character in your life that made you swoon?

[On the Road]

1. The Little Irish Girl Next Door

when I was seven. She moved away when I was nine.

[progmom]

3. Did you guys play truth or dare?

That was the big game in the neighborhood when I was that age.

[On the Road]

56. No, I Missed That One

But...she actually wrote me after lo, these many years.

She had lived in Belfast and London most of her life, became a lawyer, editor and "philanthropist," according to her alumni mag. I took my daughter up to visit her and her family in Princeton a few months ago.

It was a wonderful time. There's still a little "spark" there, too.

[XNASA]

2. My accordian teacher.

She looked like Laura Petrie, and there was a photo of her pinned to the corkboard in the little room where my lessons would take place. In the photo she was in a dance cage wearing white GoGo boots.

I was completely smitten at age 9.

[progmom]

5. you took accordion lessons?

cool.

[XNASA]

17. Everybody I grew up with took accordian lessons.

You were considered a freak if you didn't play the accordian.

[fudge stripe cookays]

72. My dad played the accordion.

Also from Chicago. Coincidence? I think not!

[JohnKleeb]

4. Hmmmmmm

Thats tough, probably this girl in fourth grade who I may add is still quite pretty today but I am not really interested in. Ahh you probably want a little more detail, we danced at the colonial dance in 4th grade, gosh that was nearly 10 years ago, oh how the time flies.

[progmom]

6. ahhh. how cute!

:P

[JohnKleeb]

11. Yeah but my mind is on my current crush right now

Christ that girl makes me well you know.

[progmom]

:bounce:

[JohnKleeb]

24. No

I am afraid :scared: but damn she is just :wow:.

[jedicord]

7. The blond hair boy in second grade.

He gave me Barbie cologne for Christmas. Gosh I was smitten!

[indepat]

8. Zena Mae until Liz Taylor came along in National Velvet

[JimmyJazz]

9. Neither wild horses nor shots of tequila could get me to tell that!

:o

[progmom]

13. c'mon, you can admit it

You never truly loved 'til you met me! :P

(or was that sundog? i always get us confused)

[JimmyJazz]

18. Again, not a chance! My tastes were well not refined until I was 18.

And, even then, I've had a few minor glitches :)

ON edit: I need more sleep or something :silly:

[progmom]

49. see now you have my interest piqued.

you could have said something generic like "this kid in 3rd grade who sat across the aisle." but no - you have to go and get all mysterious on us. now i will be tormented by the fact that you are keeping this a secret. i will never be able to sleep again.

:bounce:

[jonnyblitz]

10. yeah , mary poppins, that's who!!!

:P

[progmom]

14. make fun of me all you want

you are now officially off my crush list.

:P

[yvr girl]

12. Hi name was Mark

He was my friend's cousin. I had a crush on him on and off from the time I was about 7 till about age 18 or 19. I NEVER did ANYTHING about it either.

I had a thing for Adam on Bonanza too.

[Speck Tater]

15. It was 1955. On the Mickey Mouse Club...

Doreen!

NOT Annette like every other kid in my fourth grade class.

[mondo joe]

16. The Freshman Drama Teacher in the school I transferred to as a sophomore

I had it bad, and it wasn't good.

[JimmyJazz]

22. Damn! And here I thought it was me!

:cry:

[mondo joe]

83. You are my first girly crush.

I swear!

[Jessica]

19. Indiana Jones ...

First to give me that funny feeling.

[yvr girl]

23. Wait. There's a funny feeling?

Even in Canada?

[Jessica]

27. Huh?

[yvr girl]

32. Trying to be funny

Clearly, I need to try harder.

[progmom]

34. or less hard!

:P ;)

[Jessica]

35. No you don't ...

I just don't get things. Canada threw me off.

Forgive. :D

:bounce:

He was very nerdy with big glasses too, but nice. :D

[progmom]

26. my next door neighbor

We used to play doctor. :evilgrin:

[yvr girl]

29. I'm telling your parents!

[progmom]

33. don't you dare!!!

My mom caught us playing doctor in my room when we were like 8 years old. I said: "Um...Travis isn't wearing any clothes because he's um...trying on costumes."
I still don't know if she bought that explanation, but it was never mentioned again.

[JohnKleeb]

36. Ok I just had a memory

Thanks for freaking me out :D. I had since you brought up dress up costumes, 8 years old, and Travis. Oh dear god what the hell were those two thinking? and everyone thinks I am the freak!

[progmom]

39. wait! travis? is that you?

:P

[JohnKleeb]

44. Ummmmm no

but here's the freaky ass parrell, my best friend at age 8 was named Travis, and he and my little brother once dressed up in my mom's bras, oh man, i gotta bring that up to him on the phone somehow, ha hes a born again and future marine recruit, hahaha, oh man tooooooo funny. And if you must know, I never did it.

[yvr girl]

41. I love you more each day

:rofl:

Were you naked too? No, of course not - you were the doctor.

[progmom]

46. you betcha - i was the doctor

....that time.


:P

I tried to look him up online recently, but with no success. He moved away when I was nine. Sigh...

[yvr girl]

47. My copycat thread got disappeared

Damn those mods are fast.

Did you learn much playing doctor?

[progmom]

51. are you asking if i had any

hands on experience?

[yvr girl]

59. Well, I was an angelic child

and never did anything so naughty. I don't know how to play THAT game.

YES.

[progmom]

71. we had one of those

..."you show me yours, i'll show you mine" agreements going...pretty much every time we got together to play.

it never went much beyond that.

[yvr girl]

77. I'm no expert here, but there's somethings you really couldn't do a

tit for tat exchange. My mom tells me that boys are different.

[progmom]

80. i'm not sure why you think there were

tattoos involved, considering that we were only 8 years old.

:D

[yvr girl]

84. The woman from An Arbor gets a gold star for being punny

:D

[progmom]

94. I'm all about the puns.

My sense of humor hasn't progressed much past 4th grade.

[Hugin]

28. Hah... You'll laugh.

Really, it was Julie Newmar...

And *NO* I'm not gay or a cross dresser.

[progmom]

31. why would i laugh?

julie newmar was hot!

[Hugin]

37. No kidding... :)

Here's a link to my favorite pix...

www(dot)imdb(dot)com/gallery/mptv/1070/0752_0002.jpg?path=pgallery&path_key=Newmar,%20Julie&seq=4

(Note: I disabled it to show here in DU because I
think it is copy written.)

:woohoo:

[kwassa]

40. probably my second crush...

[Hugin]

48. My longest standing crush shall remain a secret, however,...

The only other person who suspects it is my wife who
figured it out after years of observing my viewing habits.

*chuckle*

[kwassa]

30. Sophia Loren

there was a picture of her in Life Magazine in some kind of underwear ....

oops, here it is

[SOteric]

38. I'm sure I'm going to hell for this,

my first crush was a soft-featured Irish priest, Father Myron Murphy.

Hubba. :loveya:

[Lavender Brown]

42. Ok

It was Bobby Ewing from "Dallas." :blush:

[pdx_prog]

43. A cute little 13 yr old girl

that rode up to me on a horse while I was sitting on my front porch (I was 15).....oh, here she is...:)

45. A little boy named Chris in first and second grade.

The teacher used to have us do these learning competitions. Chris and I were always the last two standing in just about every subject so we had a rivalry going. It lasted until third grade then we got put in separate classes. It must have been his intelligence that I developed a crush on. ;)

It ended when I was completely devastated that he gave me a Valentine with a Pig on it. I was just sure he had picked out the ugly pig Valentine specifically for me and it meant he thought I was gross. Don't know where I came up with that. :shrug:

[JohnKleeb]

50. Pigs are cute, why were you disgusted?

Ok I kid, I wouldn't be flattered at that age if a girl gave me a pig valentine. Funny story about my first crush though, I Remember she spelt my name "Jhon" once, aint that weird.

[Cadence]

57. It's funny what impacts you

at that age and what will stick out in your memory. You could probably get twenty with your name spelled right but you'll remember that one that was wrong. It has to do with the meaning we assign to things I think.

[JohnKleeb]

60. Did you see my memory in the thread about

My best friend and little brother dressing up in my mom's clothes :scared: that was freaky even more that the guy(we're still friends but not as close as we were then) is now a born againer and a future Marine, ha hes a good shit though. Yeah I just remember that Amanda and some other people spelt it wrong, it didnt impact me, I just have a strong memory.

[pdx_prog]

52. Yeah....

that was in our elementary school handbook "if an icky girl of any kind has a crush on you, use the pig valentine card to discourage"....lol

I guess my VERY first one was a little blonde girl in the 4, 5 and 6th grade named Cynthia. I remember getting hit in the mouth with a baseball in the 5th grade and she ran over and knelt down to ask me if I was ok. I would have got hit all over again just so she would have done it again...lol

[Cadence]

61. LOL!!

I knew it!! :spray: OMG that was funny.


It would be great if all of life's pains were immediately followed by an attractive member of the opposite sex running up and asking if you are o.k.

When I see God I'm going to tell him/her to consider that for next time around. ;)

[JohnKleeb]

66. I am gonna go to school tommorow and slip just to have that happen

Theres this girl I sort of like now who is really friendly to me, she sounds like that type lol, we talked for quite a bit during a chem lab and no you perverts we didnt do experiments on each other :P.

[Worst Username Ever]

53. Meghan, 1st grade through 6th grade.

Then it switched to Gina, ROWR. At least, from the view of an 8th grader :)

[HughBeaumont]

54. Chastity Bono. And then, Kristy McNichol. And then, Jill Whelan.

1 out of three isn't bad. Understand that I didn't receive a gaydar until sometime around 13. And Jill Whelan STILL looks hot to this day.

As far as girls NOT on a TV screen, that would be about 60 different ones from the time I was 5. Yes, I was a perv straight outta the sandbox.

[chelsea0011]

55. My third grade teacher..and then she yelled at me like no

adult should ever yell at anyone much less an 8 yr. old. I hated her the rest of the year and completely shut down for the year. She's dead now.

[deutsey]

58. I was all ga-ga over my second-grade teacher, Miss Frazier

and, uh, :blush: Melody from "Josie and the Pussycats" (the original cartoon, not the movie :evilgrin:).

[sundog]

62. her name was Dinah when I was in kindergarten

a girl (*gasp*)

I was punished for kissing her on the back of the bus.

[JimmyJazz]

63. Another woman! Sundog! I am starting to get a little jealous here,

you know.

[sundog]

67. good! I'm looking for a catfight!

this place needs some levity :P

[JimmyJazz]

69. How's this for a catfight? Is there anything more ridiculous than

two straight women fighting over a gay man? :o

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=2957855

[sundog]

73. eek! deleted message and all

:bounce:

have I tooold you (2) lately that I luv you :loveya:

:P

[JimmyJazz]

76. The deleted message was from GOPisEvil - I remember

what it said, too! :)

BTW - I got custody of you - don't let progmom tell you any differently. She may have won the cat fight, but I kicked her ass in mud wrestling and nekkid twister.

[progmom]

78. but you played dirty

i still have the bite marks.


sundog is mine, dammit.

[sundog]

79. shit, I leave the room for 2 weeks & I miss the nekkid twister match

all the good shit happens when I'm gone...

gay chat rooms suck btw... just so ya know

[progmom]

65. all of my gay male friends dated the cutest girls in the school

can you explain this to me?

[sundog]

70. no I cannot...

I could offer something snarky about stereotypical straight males... but I probably shouldn't... don't wanna incite riots or anythin

:dilemma:

[autorank]

64. When I was 12, a girl who worked at "The Castle" in Santa Cruz, CA

A castle on the beach, where else but CA, had a snack shop. I can still remember her.

[gollygee]

68. My first crush was on a girl

is that odd for a straight woman? :shrug:

She was in my science class in Jr. High school.

[mitchum]

74. Julie Newmar as Catwoman

Purrrrrrrrrfect

[fudge stripe cookays]

75. His name was Carey Camp,

and he had black hair and four eyes.

2nd grade. Little geeky guy, but I thought he was cute.
FSC

[u4ic]

81. This was even before I started school

his name was Lee, and he lived in the corner house. He used to call me his princess, and he was the first boy I ever kissed (well, according to my sister, who said she caught us). I would have been about 4 or 5.

He moved away not long after. In my grief, I turned to Barney Rubble. :silly:

[libnnc]

82. First grade. Miss Foster.

The first in line for the lunchroom got to hold her hand. One day it was my turn to be first in line. I took her hand and declared in front of the class, "Miss Foster, I love you. When I grow up, I'm going to marry you!" She laughed so hard she cried. I kinda looked like Cindy Brady then--blonde pig-tails and all. She always had a wink and a smile for me after that exchange.

Almost thirty years later I'd still buy her a drink.

Love you Miss Foster--where ever you are.

[Left Is Write]

85. Brent P. from my first grade class.

[LostinVA]

86. Pamela Sue Martin as "Nancy Drew"

[Anarcho-Socialist]

87. My first crush...

I was about 9 years old. A friend of my mother's brought an Australian friend of her's when she visited.

Her Australian friend (in her late 20s) was absolutely stunning and had an accent that I adored, and when she would smile at me my heart would beat extremely fast. I felt emotions that I'd never felt before. I was absolutely smitten. For the afternoon I spoke to her, I felt really flattered that this nice woman was giving me attention that I seldomly received otherwise.

On another note, I was the subject of a same-sex crush by another boy who I was close friends with when I was 10-12 years old. I was quite flattered but felt bad for him in the sense that I didn't have the same feelings he did. He moved away and we lost touch when I was 13 years old.

[bettyellen]

88. second thru fifth grades, joey maggio had me squirming in my hush puppies.

i threw out all my morals for him. he had such bad grades he was in a danger of flunking third grade, so i started to let him cheat off of me, even though he never asked. all these other kids used to try because i was an "a" student, but i would hide my paper. until, joey, *sigh*.....i had been a really good kid.
in fourth grade when i went back to school after my sisters died, most of the kids were just so afraid of me, my best friend was out sick, and the others thought there was a curse on my family. he waited and skulked around for me and walked me home and pretended like it was nothing. i'll never forget that as long as i live.
a few months before he moved away he gave my brother a popcicle and told him he thought i was really cool. i almost died. he was my first kiss, and i think of him every time i go see my mom because i have to pass thet spot where i kissed him.
i used to draw so many pictures of him, i can still recall his face. i used burnt sienna and mahogany for his hair color and loved drawing his little freckles.

[progmom]

89. that is an amazingly sweet story

Funny - I used to let the bad boys cheat from me too. I even wrote a book report for Billy McDermott in 9th grade so he wouldn't flunk.

[bettyellen]

90. i'm glad i'm not the only one. LOL.

i used to be such a neatnick, and he was a slob.. and i was half repulsed that i was attracted to him. but he made me loosen up. i was wound a little tight back then, when i was still sort of catholic and a control freak and all.

[bobthedrummer]

91. Judy was a neighborhood girl that would go under the porch when we

weren't in kindergarden. She attracted me with her daring and her black hair. It was more than likely her. We had our own little world under the porch.O8)

[Beware the Beast Man]

92. I was a crush-slut growing up.

I'm just a hopeless romantic, I guess...

[skygazer]

93. The neighbor boy

I was 8 when we moved in - he was 3 years older (oooh, an older man!). I was best friends with his sister and my older brother was best friends with him. He was very popular among all the little girls at school.

He was the first boy I kissed (when I was about 11 or so) and he was also the first boy I ever slept with, though we never actually officially dated. And he's still a good friend.

[fluffernutter]

95. his name was Myron-he was a cute toehead

i adored him and wanted to kiss him!

first famous crush was Donny Osmond.

[MrSandman]

96. Annette Funnicello on MM reruns and...
