Is it normal for a 5 year old boy to have a crush on a girl his own age?

[Billybob46]

My aunt's son told me he has a crush on a girl his own age.

[Lliam]

Sure. I had a crush on a neighbor girl my age from the time I was three or so. I had no idea about sexuality. I just liked girls, she was cute, and we were friends.

I had a crush on some girl or other in my class from kindergarten on. Again, nothing sexual. I just liked girls.

[strateguy632]

that is good maturity. faster than average.

[Billybob46]

Apparently she's got a crush on him too, she blew him a kiss at a wedding and she asked him to dance.

when i was five, i had a crush on a little five your old boy. he had a crush on me too. i also had a crush on orange blossom in the 2003 strawberry shortcake show at the same time though, so maybe don't go off what i did as "normal"

[Dinklex3]

I had a boyfriend when I was 6, he was also 6 so it doesn’t really sound weird to me.

[Billybob46]

Sounds like he's about to have a girlfriend himself.

[Nikki1989]

Probably, but does a 5-year-old know what a crush is?

[Billybob46]

Not sure, he said she was pretty like an angel though.

[Unit1]

yeah, when i was in grade 1-4 there was a cute girl i liked. Me didn't know what to do so i did nothing.

[Billybob46]

He picked her a flower and got a kiss on the cheek, I think she also has a crush on him.

[Unit1]

Good for him.

[AviatorTom]

Very common... but you have to understand that a crush at age 5 is nothing sexual, it just means he likes her. Maybe she likes the same things he does.

That’s around the best time to have them in my opinion. When one gets to be old enough it’s all about the dirty things which I want nothing to do with, so it’s a good thing I rarely get crushes anymore. They’re worthless to me now.

[Jamie05rhs]

They don't have to be dirty.

[Kulotz]

I think it is normal. they just imitate adulthood and what they see on tv. I had a crush when I was 6

[exitseven]

I had a crush on the girl that lived next door. She was a year older. We actually kissed.

[4ngelic]

yea its normal, why would it be weird

[Billybob46]

I thought it was usually young girls who had crushes.

[MemeSupreme]

yeah why wouldn't it be

[Billybob46]

I thought it was mostly just girls who had crushes around that age.

[7Phoenix7]

If course it is..

[Nifrayu]

I don't think so. I was at least 10 before I had my first crush.

[Twalli]

I don't think they know enough to differentiate friendships and romantic attraction.

[Awantika03]

He left the breastfeeding

[Billybob46]

Lol. Little guy isn't sure how to react to having a crush.

[FunkyMonkee]

I don't see why not. I did.

[JayBones]

No it's not. It's very common. Almost exclusive

[spartan55]

Really dude? They don't even know what that means.

[AaronKrieger]

Most kids have crushes in elementary school.

[SpaceGalaxy]

Absolutely normal

[loveslongnails]

What's not normal about that?

[TheSpaceGnome]

Yes its normal.

[laly520]

its normal

[Jamie05rhs]

Yes. Very normal.

[boobliker]

yes it life
