Ping...
I was a very busy kid.
Donny Osmond. Seriously!
Marilyn Monroe.
I was just a spud and had only been weaned a little while and, well, you know............
Second grade: my love was Michael Alvarado.
The second base "girl" on my Little League team. She was cute, and she could hit as well. And no, she wasn't a butch "Peppermint Patty" type either.
Robbie Bird. 4-5 years old.
We played house, I made him 'chocolate milk' with dirt and water... and he drank it :~D
My first crush was David Berry. We were 5 years old. He was so very funny and he worked hard to entertain me and make me laugh. As a young father of two boys, he was killed in a car accident and buried months before I found out. I do not have closer on his death, and I miss him terribly to this day.
My first real love at the age of 16 was Van. He drove a souped-up Plymouth, wore white Tshirts, jeans and loafers, was your bonafide red neck. We used to drive through the Varsity...he'd let his Plymouth "loop" in first gear with a low muffler growl. His car was the fastest in town. I was head over heels in love with this guy. He broke my heart.
I didn't recover until I met my husband. He is my true love.
Zorro, hands down (Guy Williams). I had it bad. If our TV was on the blitz come Thursday I broke out in a cold sweat scrambling through the neighborhood for any of my friends that had a TV and offered up my little sister as a sacrifice if they would turn it on Zorro. *~* I guess I finally got over him.........I never, not one time watched "Lost In Space".
My first teen idol crush was Bobby Sherman.
Kenny... 1st grade.
I missed the school bus so that I could take his school work to him when he was sick one day and had to walk home. Took me four hours to get home, since I had no clue where I lived. Came wandering home around dinner time.
The spanking was worth it. Sigh...
Mine was a boy named Darrin in kindergarten. All the little girls in my class thought he was cute. We used to chase him around the playground at recess and try to kiss him.
Sadly, I saw him on the registered sex offender list in IL.
I hope we little girls had nothing to do with it.
Her name was Jennifer. She was no raging beauty when I fell for her, as a young lad. I remember one day that her father came to my school with his old Rolls Royce, a collectors item, for a presentation on the history of the automobile. She wore a period dress. I remember being entranced with seeing her, lovely and graceful in her peach coloured dress, as the breeze flowed through her hair.
She was the first girl I wrote a poem for; it was not an impressive piece, nor did she return my affection for her. However, it is worth noting that as time went on, she did turn into a beauty, and the object of desire for most of the lads. While it didn't work for me - at least I felt I knew what I was talking about. ;)
Regards, Ivan
My first real crush was on my high school sweetheart, Greg McGee.
He went to Baylor, and I accepted an offer from Houston Baptist two days before an identical offer came in from Baylor.
Had we both gone to Baylor, I have zero doubt we'd have ended up married.
But 'twas not to be, fortunately, for otherwise I wouldn't have my darling Xena's Guy!
Melanie D------, I was 5, she was 3 1/2, we used to play together while our dads played in local softball games. She got Leukemia and did not recover. I can still see the sun shining off her blonde hair...
My first crush was Mighty Mouse, which might explain why I'm still single!
Merri Hovey, in kindergarten. She was cute as a bug.
My first crush was a guy named Gary, in junior high. He finally gave me his bracelet and we went "steady". Didn't last long. He moved on to someone else after the Christmas dance. First love was in high school - Ralph. We were 15 and he lived down the street. Met my first husband through him, they were best friends. That relationship lasted 22 years (divorce).
