Who was your first crush? What made you fall for them?


Let's call her L., who she was is difficult to say. Because I didn't see who she was really, I just saw a cute and mysterious girl. And I filled up the gaps, in my head. I mostly saw my own projection onto her, typical, from the 16yo me, with a lot of misplaced imagination. Retrospectively, I fell for... Yes, my imagination, my representation of her. I watched her eyes and I was convinced that I was looking at her, when in fact I was looking at my own story being written in my mind. Somehow, she must have perceived the issue here, she must have realized I wasn't looking at her really. She broke up.
Took me years to understand how to walk away from my imagination running the show of romance, four years probably to reach balance. At 20, yes, I think I started to be more attentive and less absorbed by the hopeless romantic adverse effect.
Thanks for this question! I loved the answers it spawned 🤩

A girl in high school I met at track and field. She was gorgeous and extremely kind. I remember her pinching my cheek playfully at track and field even though we weren't super close and it was like an angel in front of me.
I liked her for about 2 years before I said anything, and when I did it was the most awkward way to ask her out I can imagine. I cringe looking back on it. She was kind about it though and she politely rejected me.
She's now happily married in life and I'm happy for her.
My first crush was a social outcast raised by a single mother who was one year older than me. He was a good friend to me but did not want to be my boyfriend. I was 6 and he was 7. I was popular and he was unpopular.
It just was. I was about 11. I lost my cheery at 13 so this was almost pre-sexual though there was no doubt about. Lust being a large part of it. I don't know what I;d of done about it at the time. Some fundamental changes in my life style at about. I remember the last day I was going to see her and I could not get the balls to walk into the room she was and said something. I could tell she felt the same, needing to talk but too shy to approach her. We must of exchanged hundreds of glances that day way. I hated myself for being such a chickenshit but it was a tough time. I walked away and never saw or heard from her again. The onmly way I had to keep from dwelling on that was to completely change my life & become a new person who I swore, would never let that happen again. I haven't and being forthright with my attraction to a woman whether a walk by in the bank or supermarket. If I see someone I desire and there is no reason not to- sometimes even with plenty of reason not to; allow a chance like that to pass by and it has had far more upsides than down do not chicken oiut of anything. I'm not a 'ho but, Sorry about length
A guy in middle school, he was a soccer player and is still, I noticed him when he was playing soccer, all frustrated and focused, I couldn't stop staring at him (I think it was his eyes and energy that made me fall for him or it was just lust at first sight..) and he noticed that too, he then looked nervous, my friend was talking to me but I wasn't paying attention to her, she asked me what's wrong and said out loud "the guy there is good looking, very very good looking", and there, it was very awkward, I didn't realize I said it out loud until my friend told me everyone heard me, then he stopped playing and we left...
Months later, we ended up dating, he was my first boyfriend
awwww, that's a very good story! 💚
Shelly Oliver.
She was 8 I was nearly 8.
She had big honey blonde hair and a voice that did things to me. New and wonderful things. But, she would converse with my older sisters about me as tho I was not present. She made my stomach hurt awful. For some reason I couldn't stay away.
As I experienced the pangs of first love she continued these rude and abrasive remarks whenever I'd get to close and never bother to glance my way. Finally as the afternoon wore on, she did pay me the honor of looking at me. Love turned to hate as I took in what this mean little bitches eyes told me.
That was a hell of a day. Thank God she and her whole family moved away at summers end.
Ouch that hurts.
What are the aftermaths here? Generally speaking
hmmm I see, well at least it lasted for 4 years only, not an entire life, it's nice
Gail. Cousins friend. Tomboy. Sassy. 100% Italian. Firecracker. Attitude. Developed. Still friends today. So many good memories of us dancing around the idea of dating but neither taking the first step. 1st crushes are really special! Made me smile just to answer this!!
And where is this first step now?
MArried. Two kids. Living in Arizona. VERY HAPPY and I'm happy for her! She deserves the best!
Hmm okay, okay !
Who was your first crush? What made you fall for them?
No recollection of the first but I can recall my first girlfriend who spent a long time as a friend first and I fell for her intelligence firstly but also her vibrant sapphire blue eyes and her copper red hair after that how musically she'd laugh and at 14/15/16 genuinely just the feeling of giving a shit about me was big at the time
Fuck now I'm sad, want a drink and regret not proposing to her
Maybe not too late to chase a former memory, in the present, who knows?
I'm not who I was a decade ago
Better to have loved and lost and all that
Girl next door ever since middle school. Same age as me, in the same class. Everyone wanted her. She always went for bad boys, drug users, alcoholics, criminals etc. I started dating her younger sister in her freshman year when I was in my senior year.
my first real crush was a dude named cole in 6th grade. he was one of the cutest guys in the grade, he had these really pretty blue yes, very dark hair, freckles and was very nice and mature
She was a girl my sister played softball with, so I only saw her over the summer since she went to a different school. She was one year younger than me and I first noticed her in a team picture over the winter. I thought to myself "she's cute" and that was it. The following summer (she was 13 and I was 14) she came out on the softball field, and she had developed over the winter. I saw all of my sister's games.
high school, she was cute and curvy, kinda bubbly but shy. I know she felt it too, we touched once by accident. But I never dated her and lost that opportunity. I heard she was an odd nut though... probably better off running:)
She sat behind me in homeroom in the 8th grade. She was just cute and she was nice to me when a lot of people were not. The next year she went to another school
yeah, people sometimes leave at the wrong moment :/
Bonita Jerris, very feminine blonde first grade classmate 1958 at St. Josephat Elementary school Pgh., PA with impeccable fashion sense and manners <3
Amanda, in school...
she just was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen... and she was mysterious as she was nice... lol
A guy in kindergarten. He was the tallest and had gorgeous brown skin which I liked at that time.
A girl who barely knew me :)
I fell for her because she was very kind, easy to get along with, and pretty.
It was a small crush but Kindergarten it was a little girl who is sadly no longer alive :(
sorry to hear that :/
I don't fall in love, tough guys don't fall in love
Oh okay , then what they fall for? 😄
@samantha_17777 they fall for fortresses, blast doors, bunkers, money, prostitution, and most probably a tunnel of cold hate. No happy ending involved. :/
@Maybe_Maybe_not everyone have feelings and its natural to like somebody , people who act tough are usually insecure and scared of getting hurt may be thats why they start to act that way...
Exactly my thoughts, this is no secret, internal psychology follows a straight road sometimes
Yes ☺
A sister of a friend in my class. First! I barely noticed her until She flirted and i then i noticed her and had a crush on her.
