I didn't see this post until catnapper mentioned it in her thread. I have had a few major crushes in my lifetime. Let's see...Cameron was probably my first real taste...I was probably about 7 and I think he was about 14, maybe. I was a camper and he was a counselor. Oh, how I loved him. At the end of the camping week, we had a big bonfire with "awards." I got the "Oh, he's so cute!" award, because I said that nearly all week. I guess I've always been boy crazy. Of course, Cam had a girlfriend. He got the "Melissa" award and she got the "Cam" award. I was devastated. I remember Cam walking me back to the cabin the last night, being so sweet about "rejecting" me...telling me that he thought I was so sweet, but, that he loved Melissa and I was just too young. He was so kind, though...what a nice guy. What happened to those guys? Do you have to be seven to be treated nicely?
The next major crush I really had was in junior high school. His name was Hugo, and, I was so in love with him. I never did anything about it, though...I met him in the sixth grade...I left South Carolina at the beginning of my 8th grade year, and, that was the last time I saw him. We wrote for a month or two, but, that was it.
Then, in high school...at first there was David. Ugh, he was a couple years older than me, and, I met him in ninth grade. When I left in the middle of my tenth grade year, I found out that he liked me, too. Figures.![]()

After that, it was Josh. I LOVED him from tenth grade on. And, what's funny is that I ended up actually hooking up with him after my divorce, when I was about 24. He found me and another classmate of ours, Jason, through one of those reunion sites, and, he drove down to Texas from Colorado to see us both. I was so excited! I had had a teeny tiny crush on Jason in high school, too...but, nothing like Josh. But, it was awful. The moment I stepped out of the car to approach Jason and Josh, I was immediately more attracted to Jason. Josh turned out to be stuck in that high school mentality, didn't understand why he wasn't popular anymore...actually thought I would still be this little puppy dog eyed 14 year old. Uh, no. He really sortof flipped out when I told him I wouldn't marry him (Yeah, he proposed!), and, I ended up dating Jason after Josh went home. Jason and I are still really good friends. It was kinda cool getting that closure with Josh, because, honestly I still think of the other crushes and wonder what they're up to.![]()
