I thought it would be interesting for us to each try to recall the names of various crushes and perhaps a note or two about each, as far back as we can remember.
Growing up I was the tall, skinny, shy, intelligent guy. So I had lots of crushes, but no girlfriends.
This thread is not for naming girlfriends/boyfriends, or for husbands/wives. It is simply about those who we have “admired from afar” (now that I type that, I should point out that I’ve never been a stalker) For the “Ones who got away”.
So….strolling back into ancient childhood….
Elizabeth - 1st grade. Not so much a crush, as a cool girl in the neighborhood, who could *gasp* ride a bicycle! We hung out, but I was too young to feel anything but friendship.
Toni - 2nd and 3rd grade - pretty girl from school. Mostly I think I openly stared at her, and/or got tongue-tied around her. I was given first choice of partners for a school presentation dance, so I chose her . But she was far from thrilled, having to dance with a boy.
Cherie - 4th grade. Emotions are definitely in play here, as well as fickleness of my crushes, so several others have slipped from my memory over the next few years.
Cynthia - 7th and 8th grade. Serious hormones at work by this stage, and she fit the bill.
Then through high-school there were 2 Cindy’s, Lisa, a Heather, and even a Zena. Then there was Melody. She was probably the first one I actually thought of in terms of Love. *sigh*. But she left town for college.
In college, there was Vickie - we met at my brother’s wedding (not a relative! Sheesh!).
Lastly, before meeting the lady who became my first wife, there was Eileen.
I feel there may be a couple that I’ve blanked on, but this list includes the more “significant” ones.
So. Others here who were shy guys (or gals), who can remember the names that you had crushes on over the years?
