I remember my first crush . . . his name was Peter. I was 12 years old, skinny, with knobs for knees, and painfully shy. He had sea-blue eyes I could swim in.
Unfortunately, Peter was also a bit of a prick. He enjoyed taunting me mercilessly, as I was one of the worst swimmers on our summer swim league. He and his gang accosted and kidnapped me at the swim league's annual surprise breakfast. I was exhilarated at the idea of squidging next to Peter on the car ride to the pool and mortified I went out with both unbrushed teeth and hair.
Who's to say why we fall head over heels for our first crush.
What made your head turn for yours?

WHAT? NO STORIES YET. I WAS ALL READY FOR SWEET SOUVENIRS OF LOST LOVES. MY FIRST CRUSH: AGE 13
WHEN I WAS AROUND 16 I FINALLY HAD A DATE WITH HIM...NOTHING CLICKED! WHEN I WAS ABOUT 20, I REALIZED HE WAS GAY!!!!
heffer
MINE WAS AT 12 AS WELL. I WROTE A LOVE LETTER TO HER, BUT WAS PASSED TO THE TEACHER, AND MY TEACHER WENT TO DISCUSS WITH MY PARENTS ABOUT IT, LUCKILY, MY PARENTS DIDN'T SCOLD AT ME.
IT'S FUNNY THOUGH, AT MY TIME, IN CHINA,PREMATURE LOVING ACTIVITIES ARE ALMOST PROHIBITED, AND YOU WILL BE DEEMED AS SOME EXOTIC PEOPLE IF YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH SOMEONE WAS DISCOVERED. AND THIS RESTRICTION WILL NOT CHANGE UNTIL COLLEGE.
ALSO BECAUSE OF THIS RULE, I MISSED ANOTHER TWO BEFORE I MET MY FIRST GF, AT YEAR 20.
