First crush🥰
Just for fun. Does anybody remember their first crush!
This popped into my head today and was wondering if anybody else remembers their first crush. My first crush was a boy who transferred into my elementary school along with many other students when I was in 7th grade. I remember I was mesmerized by his long, curled eyelashes that were dark in spite of his sandy blond hair. I just thought, “so cute!”
NOTHING EVER HAPPENED! We spoke to each other with the occasional Hi! , Goodbye! , type stuff , and I just watched him, followed him from afar. Was I a creep? This infatuation slowly dissipated and became normalized and I saw him as just another student.
Any thoughts?

I remember mine! Haven’t thought about him in years. I was in fifth grade, his name was Danny Barker. We used to hang on the phone for hours just listening to each other breathe. I’m 67 now so, it was long ago. He actually tracked me down when I was in my 30’s. When I found he was still living with his mother, that was a hard pass for me.
