I do, we were in grade five, he was a cowboy, and I was a country girl. He was so cute. We looked at each other, he said to me "wow you have eyes just like my cow!" and I asked what kind of cow that would be and he said a jersey and I fell in love and thought it was the sweetest thing anyone have ever said to me.
We used to sneak looks at each other on the school bus all the time and once in the playground he actually kissed me - I would like to know what he looks like now, is he married, does he have a family, is he healthy and happy?

Well, judging from your little graphic you're not real old. I am not THAT old, but according to AARP I qualify to be a "senior". Anyway...they say that the "torch" you have for a first love never completely goes out. For me anyway, that's true. My first "love" and I were seperated when I went to college and he went to Viet Nam in the late 60s. We had planned to get married and have 6 kids. He came back from the Army VERY disturbed and I got my degree and went on to marry someone else because we had become such different people and grown hopelessly apart. He still lives in my hometown and when I go there to visit relatives I still "look" for him in the malls and restaurants. I would never really seek him out to knock on his door though. I still have his pictures and letters from Viet Nam after all of these years. Back in those days you didn't have these physically, emotionally intense relationships with every boy you met. It only happened two or three times and then you were married for life. The first relationships really meant a LOT - real marriage potential commitments... you were playing for HIGH stakes and didn't give your love or your body lightly! I pity the girls today who sleep sloppily around for years and then just settle for the last person they slept with for a marriage partner and hope it works.

Yep! Still get the 'vapors' when I think of him. He was so handsome, tall and kind and witty. We met in college and were an item in 1959! Our "thing" lasted about a year,, and then I got a scholarship to the University of Heidelberg! Was gone a year and when I returned his parents had moved. I saw him once on the platform at Waterloo Station in London - we smiled, cheek smooched, and said all the "correct" things to each other. We swapped phone numbers - but he never called and I went on to the Sorbonne in Paris for a year! AaaaaHHHH! And now I live in the USA, so its all over!!!!

About a year ago I got really brave and joined one of those places that help find your friends according to the high school you went to. I started looking for a friend that I went to the Senior Prom with. Not my boyfriend, but a really great friend at that time. After about a month. I found a person with the same last name (the name was unusual). I wrote to him, hoping for good news. He wrote back several weeks later and told me that he was his brother and that he had died four years previous to that time. It broke my heart. I haven't tried to find any of the rest. I'll just let good memories rest. If they want to find me, then that will be good.

Yes, the man I loved best, but could not cope with his drinking. I recently found out he had been evacuated from New Orleans and in the process was given a pneumonia shot. He had an allergic reaction and died. RIP good buddy. Sober you were the greatest of men. A true giant in my book.

When I was 13, I had a huge crush on a guy who gave me my first kiss. My dad said he would never amount to anything. Years went by; I became a teacher and raised a family. I always had a desire to live in Alaska but arthritis put an end to that. My first big crush? Well, he's a high school principal in....yep! Alaska.
DARN IT!!

I don't want to bum anybody out, but I guess I will.
I was engaged at 19, but sent back to the States to continue school ( U of MD). Lost touch with my honey for years, and 2 divorces. Through Google I found out my babe had died in 1995. Bad jazz.
Sorry for the bum out.

Yes I do. Old boyfriends, X husbands. It would be interesting to know. I have moved all over the country and have lost touch with a lot of old friends that could have kept me posted. I would like to know how they are too.

yes, unfortunately, my very first love was murdered over 30 years ago. sometimes I think of trying to find the cemetery where he is buried. I also think of the football player that ditched me on homecoming night when he found out I wasn't going to give in to him. But then I think of the wonderful man that I have been married to for 28 years and all else doesn't matter.
