8. Mine was Susan, too!
We were ten. And then eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen... She didn't know, though how she didn't know I can't figure out. Finally told, like, thirty years later!

24. Yeah, but then I grew up,
he got "old", and I dumped him for Shaun. I regret that, though. It'll always be David (sigh). Never had my head turned by Bobby Sherman, either.

13. I had a few big crushes, but my first real love was a guy I met
when I was 17 and he was 21. That was my first serious relationship, and it lasted four and a half years---which was two years too long. :P I was madly in love and a naive teenager. He was in love for a while, then when the newness wore off, he started looking elsewhere. :( He will always have a special place in my heart, and I will always love him, but he killed the relationship.

Sure there were other guys I thought I loved, but the way I felt about them and the way I feel now are so very different I can't really think of them as being the same thing.

15. It was one sided of course
Because I have a wonderful way of turning ladies into friends...It's my burden.
Her name was Janel I remember the first day of my senior year I was heading towards a class and I bumped into this blonde girl I graciously said excuse me and when about my day. Two hours later on my may to a different class I bumped into the same girl AGAIN..
It had to be fate..Well ends up she was in my last hour class We became good friends Me all along so damned in love but to much a coward to do anything about it.I still think of her.I actually found her on classmates.com I wrote her and said hello She wrote me and told me she remembered me. I wrote her back ..that was 7 or so months ago she never responded. :(

19. Lena Horne.
I became an instant fan of hers after seeing an old video of her singing "Cabin In The Sky". It was love-at-first-listen. Plus, she was stunningly beautiful. (still IS, all things considered)

21. Todd.
Also the first person I kissed. He was a few inches taller then me, had dark eyes and long curly black hair (which he wore back), wore all black & a trenchcoat. Couple years older then me and lived in another city. He was beautiful. Opened my mind to many new things.

23. Beth. Now: no saying "oh, what a cliche," but she was a
great third baseman and she taught me how to play field hockey.

I don't know if she's gay. I wasn't even aware that I was gay when I was in high school. All I know is that I really, really liked her. A LOT.

25. Gail
Edited on Fri Jul-21-06 03:54 PM by never cry wolf
We started dating the summer before my senior year of HS and dated off and on for 8 years (mostly off but maybe an accumulated 2 years.) That was just about 35 years ago to the day. We lost touch after she married someone else. I found her 4 1/2 years ago on classmates after no contact for 22 years and it was like we had never been apart. We have lived parallel bad marriages, still finish each others sentences, etc. We email daily, instant message 4 or 5 times a week and have met up in person maybe a dozen times (all platonic.) She's my best friend, we call each other soul buddy and someday if the stars align and the kids are out of the house and we are both single again..... sighhhhh......

She was my first and I am convinced, the only true love of my life.

28. Hmmmm, love?
At 18 I thought it was Anita, but it was merely lust. Tall, blonde and Swedish. Good kisser.

At 19 I thought it was Sue. But she was just the first f*ck, and you always fall in love with those who take your virginity (by choice).

At 20 I thought it was Judy, and we went out for 3 years, got engaged, lived together, but were busted up by drugs (her) and infidelity (her) and alcohol (me).

At 25 I thought it was Denise, we lived together for 3 years, were married for 1, and have been divorced for 16. I still think I loved her and still do way back in the recesses of memory, at least in the capacity that you can love someone who walked out and hasn't been seen or heard from since 1990. That one left me somewhat cold and cynical about love.

At 34 It was Heather, love at first sight. never felt this way for anyone else. Got married the next year. Now at 45 I am still married to her, and I still love her, and no matter what has happenned, or how much I wish it away, it remains, but we are separated while she discovers whatever it is she is looking for in life, and it is so difficult to watch her hurt and not be able to do anythoing except be her friend, and at times my heart is so f*cking broken and smashed that if this is love, I'm not sure I want any part of it ever again. I have 2 great kids, and that's the only love I've seen that is absolutely unconditional, endless, and real. So she is perhaps the final love, if not the first...

RL

29. Connor
He was wild, irreverent, brilliantly misdirected, unpredictable, totally unreliable, a real bad boy in a preppy red vest and his third BMW that mommy and daddy bought him after he wrecked the first two. He was a gorgeous black haired- blued eyed Irish guy, and I met him in Biology class my sophomore year in college. He was such an adventure! We dated for 2 years until he graduated a year before me and broke my heart when he said we wouldn't last! It took me years to get over him.

:cry:

He's pretty much a weirdo loser now. I saw him about 3 years ago, and he still has all those same qualities, which aren't so conducive to success in life at age 40. And his beauty, sadly, has faded.

31. A little boy in the first grade no one loved.
He was always in trouble. I gave him a Valentine on Feb 14 and the teacher said it was a nice thing to do because no one else gave him one. I felt so bad for him; he looked lonely all the time with his head downcast. I wonder what ever happened to him.

33. My very first love?
Well, I remember chasing a certain Terry Storm around my third grade classroom on my last day before moving away!

I wanted to kiss him goodbye, and he was having none of it! :cry:


But as far as adult loves, I guess I would say that I fell in love with the first man who kissed me: Mike McInerney.

That day, and those kisses, ushered me into true womanhood......

I went from bouncy, silly teenagerhood to adult, sensuous female, all in about 12 hours.........

It was amazing. He even commented on my transformation.......

I will never forget him, and I will always be grateful for him and that day......

He made all the other men in my life possible!

Sorry ......I got a little carried away there.......:blush:

35. Had to comment on Gene Kelly what a great dancer/singer/actor
He was one of the greats!!As a hugh Sinatra Fan I really admired Gene He and Frank did a few great films together (On the Town ,Anchors Awiegh).He sure outdanced Frank!! probably wasn't hard..But I totally understand why a lady could have the hots for him!
just my 2 cents.

36. Matthew.
Blond, green eyed son of a preacher man. He used to write poetry to me on flyers and stick them under my windshield wipers while I was at work.

I lost track of him in the mid '90s. I think he got married and moved to California, but I don't know. His last name is very common, so I haven't been able to Google him. I hope he's doing well.

39. It was unrequited
When I was 16 I fell in love with a girl named Tricia. She had long auburn hair and the sharpest green eyes I've ever seen.

I was too shy and awkward to ever say much to her, but she was always really nice to me.

I pined for her for almost a year while she was dating one of the popular boys in school. Then I came in one day and found out that she had left school because she had gotten pregnant. I never saw her again.

Gee, this has been a wonderful trip down memory lane...

40. My wife.
Although I should say I'm a particularly lucky man and cannot recommend marrying your highschool sweetheart.

We "hooked up" as they say again after college and luckily avoided many pitfalls associated with young marriages.

44. My first crush was a girl named Lois, but my first serious as in...
sexual relationship was with a girl named Nancy.

Lois agreed to go on a date with me to an important junior high school function for which she had no date. I was real excited, but that was the end of it. She dumped me the minute the function was over. She was generally real popular, blond and with a real attractive geometrical structure, at least for recently post pubescent boys.

Later she went bald and gained a lot of weight because of an illness she had. She also became an alcoholic before she was 18. She was kind of a sad person ultimately, and I hope she lived, but I don't know. As soon as we left high school she disappeared into the vast wide opened spaces of Connecticut.

Nancy and I slept together for more than two years. We could have gotten married through inertia. I kind of thought I loved her, but looking back on it, it wasn't real. We were children. It's amazing, but now I don't think I'd recognize her now. In fact I don't remember any of my old lovers. I've been married for more than twenty years. My early adult life was unhappy, and my relationships with the opposite sex were problematic. Thankfully it all got better.
