So, who was your first love? How old were you? Where did you meet? Do you still keep in touch?
I think my first love was a neighbor girl named Gail. We were both 12. I never did get the courage to tell her I liked her until the night before we left town, I took her a rose and she thanked me by kissing my cheek.
Years later, I returned to that town with some members of my family and saw her sitting in a bar and STILL never went over to her! [slaps forehead]
My first puppy love was when I was in middle school in Genoa City. I had the biggest crush on the boy next door, Russell Bailey, in 7th grade. We "hung out" and necked some but I wasn't allowed to date at that age yet. We even had a song "Right Next Door to an Angel" by Neil Sedaka and he would play it on his record player whenever I went to his house. He was also a drummer in a band with his sister (whom my brother was dating) and a couple other neighborhood kids. That all fizzled out though when the next cute guy came along...
I did hear not too long ago that he lives in that same house now with his wife and kids.
Mike Dronen, 4th/5th grade but he broke my heart when his family moved away. He was the sweetest boy and we loved to go ice skating together. Heard or read something years ago that he lived in Idaho. Have no idea what happened to him after that.

There used to be a girl named Anne that would stop everyday in front of my house on her way home from school to "tie her shoes". My mom used to say, "You idiot! She's out there trying to get your attention!".. I never was too wise to the way of women!
We did end up going to a co-ed summer camp.. she broke my heart when she kissed another boy! Took me a long time to get over that "betrayal"..
I have to tell this story about my youngest son's first love because it was so cute at the time.
He was in 2nd grade and a girl named Sharee was in first grade but they both went to the same school. They both also went to the same daycare so they saw each other a lot and became good friends. Eventually, they told everyone that they were going to get married after they were out of school. Sharee had it all planned out. She talked about where they were going to live and work and how many kids they were going to have and even what their names were going to be. LOL They were so much "in love" that they even walked around school holding hands but I think they only kissed once and that was at his birthday party. Her family moved away a year later and he was so heart broken. He never forgot about her and he still keeps a picture of her on his desk in his bedroom.
When he was in high school, he had to write a paper for English on his first love and it made him curious as to where she might be living. So, he found her on myspace and and she said she was in Hawaii. I think if she had been living somewhere closer, he probably would have gone to see her.
But then you never know, maybe someday way into the future they will happen to meet up again and end up being together. Stranger things have happened in this world you know. lol

Oh my how this brings up memories! My first love was in 3rd grade. We played tag outside during recess, and I let him chase me just long enough, then tag me. I forgot about him the next few years even though we were in the same grade school classes. In 6th grade he passed me a note saying "I like you, do you like me? Put your X for yes or no". I looked over at him and realized he was adorable and was looking at me, waiting for my answer. I marked "yes" and fell in LOVE! But then the other boys read the note and teased me relentlessly until I cried. Then he had to act tough with the boys and pretend he didn't mean it. Kids can be so mean!
So, nothing came of it - not even a friendship. We have met a few times since at class reunions, but never conversed.
Since there weren't any cute boys in grade school I can't say I liked any of them. I stuck with my celebrity crushes in grade school. Then when I got the high school there was so many cute boys, oh my. I didn't know which to choose. Of course I was shy and didn't really talk to any of them much. I did have a big crush on a couple of guys both with gorgeous blue eyes, but one was blond and curly and the other dark brown and straight hair. I did get one to sign my yearbook even though I never spoke to him. He must have thought I was strange for that. He probably thought who is this girl???
I don't know what happened to the blond, but the brown haired guy was one that a lot of girls liked. He had so much talent and seemed like someone that would go places in life. Then all he did was go from college to college and never got a degree. He'd job hop and college hop, I guess you could say. He also got quite a gut on him. Face still looks about the same only slightly older. I also heard he a problem with snorting the booger sugar, so that could explain the lack of success.
Starting a whole new topic on your first date would be interesting to see if the same pattern exists. In my case I'd say yes, but it's a good thing since the guy is know-it-all jerk these days. First date was my worst date you could say.

I think those first young loves are more memorable than the more recent ones. I certainly followed a pattern of my own making! Admired and loved the decent and good guys but too afraid to talk to them. I had to go through a round of bullies and weasels before I could have a really good guy in my later years. He had his own first love as well - we talk about that sometimes; would we have liked each other had we met early on? Or did we have to learn the hard way before we could appreciate each other now?
...Them's got ears, let them hear
Them's got eyes, let them see
Turn your eyes to the lord of the skies
Take this airline plane
It'll take you home again
Hoo boy, this one stirs up more old memories.
I already posted a couple on this thread but here is another:
My first real "love" was at age 21, after having the same boyfriend for 6 years, I got fed up and took a trip to Europe with my girlfriend. We met some guys she knew from home, and getting to know one of them changed my whole life. I decided if this was love, then all those years with the BF was a sham. I would have stayed forever with this one if he had asked me to. But I did come home and we corresponded for a year. He wrote that he was taking a driving trip with a friend across the U.S. and wanted to stop and see me. I took the day off from work and waited, he never showed up and I never heard from him again.
I have a few times since tried to locate him, but never could find him again. I always wondered if he might have been in a car wreck, or what. It is worse not knowing.
