I think it's seriously what made me get up in the morning and actually take a shower and put on make-up! So, even though they are sometimes silly, I think HS crushes were fun and even served a purpose.Chelanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11054550587426718855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-886859614449680845.post-14122137013495444742008-09-19T08:50:00.000-06:002008-09-19T08:50:00.000-06:00I had loads of those crushes in Middle School, and...I had loads of those crushes in Middle School, and maybe one or two in high school, but my problem was that I found OLDER men attractive. <BR/><BR/>As in, my first boyfriend was 17 and I was 14. <BR/>The next one was...quite a bit older...and I was 16. <BR/>When I was 17, he was 20. <BR/>And then I dated 2 guys my same age (senior year) and they were LOSERS. <BR/>So, when I was 18, he was 23. <BRCherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10218614720786379961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-886859614449680845.post-56700529621429795312008-09-18T22:53:00.000-06:002008-09-18T22:53:00.000-06:00I was the same.

We went on a few dates and I still couldn't act entirely normal, because of all the years of obsessing I'd done. But...I didn't like him. He wore cowboy boots and had a gun in his glove compartment. <BR/>And we are from LA. He wasn't a cowboy. <BR/Beeswaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10418719062005209787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-886859614449680845.post-10452958480698714712008-09-18T21:13:00.000-06:002008-09-18T21:13:00.000-06:00Oh my goodness!

My freshman year, I crushed on a senior--D.J. was his name, he played the trombone, he was short, and not even that hot I guess in retrospect. But he was my everything. I definitely imagined that he liked me. He was a bagboy at the local market, and would smile and Mikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05978087670569884235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-886859614449680845.post-90666136476480134932008-09-18T19:09:00.000-06:002008-09-18T19:09:00.000-06:00My high school crushes followed this pattern: I'd ...My high school crushes followed this pattern: I'd pick a boy to crush on, I'd hear through various sources that they liked me too, I'd be too shy to do anything about it, and they'd end up dating my sister sooner or later. Seriously, every crush. I wasn't ever bitter or jealous because I totally understood why they'd end up with her - she's beautiful and funny and much better at flirting than me!Tracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05925049538364654560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-886859614449680845.post-92135875082372323012008-09-18T18:04:00.000-06:002008-09-18T18:04:00.000-06:00I had so many of those crushes.

Probably my biggest crush was on a boy who was only at my High School for one year but the moment I saw him I was smitten. He was so cute, he loved the Beatles just like I did and he was very witty and entertaining. I actually wrote about him in this post:<BR/><BR/>http://summersnook.com/2007/09/pure-magic/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-886859614449680845.post-35754676706421673442008-09-18T15:34:00.000-06:002008-09-18T15:34:00.000-06:00I am glad your title is the boys before the MAN no...I am glad your title is the boys before the MAN not MEN!!
