My crush from 6th and 7th grade.....

....is now on Facebook.

Gotta be honest.. my heart pitter-pattered just a bit when I saw his pic. He had a huge crush on me in 5th grade, but I never really paid attention to him. Then we both liked each other in 6th, but only flirted constantly since we sat by each other in class. I even got in trouble one time because I was talking to him when we were supposed to be quiet. We moved into 7th grade, but I don't remember him being around much then.

Have you ever found a long-lost crush or boyfriend many years later?

Yes, a man with whom I'd once been engaged. We exchange birthday greetings & that's about it. Can't go back & can't change our history. Quite honestly, I'm kind of sorry we found each other on FB.

I married my 6th (7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, sophomore, junior and senior in college) grade crush. We were in the same class kindergarten - 8th grade.

Interesting topic. In my case, no, but my husband's girlfriend from his freshman year of college looked him up and called him here at our house 3 or 4 years ago. I never knew her, but I somehow knew who she was when I answered the phone. My husband picked up, and I hung up and got back to what I was doing. About a minute later, he told me that she asked if he was happy (what a question!) and after he said 'yes," she asked if he wanted her email address, and he said, "no." She hung up. Strange. She had written him a letter at his place of employment about, oh, 25 years ago, too, and asked about getting together. He never replied. I guess some people never quite move on.

Hi Mellie. Yes. In the 9th grade, a big, big, HUGE crush on a boy. By the 10th grade, he went to another school and I did not see him until about 2001 at a friend's funeral. I didn't even know he knew her, ....anyhow...someone called out his name (whole name) after the service, by the cars. I turned around and saw this not so handsome, bald man, wearing glasses (nothing wrong in that) but that did not even come close to the young, handsome, boy I had a crush on in the 9th grade. I thought to myself, wow...time was not kind to him. I chose to keep quiet, didn't even introduce myself.....I preferred to just keep him in my mind as my "long ago crush".

The only things I remember having a crush on during this these years of my life was my mom's chocolate chip cookies and Pepsi, which explains why I spent the rest of my life on a weight-reduction diet.

Ha. Unfortunately, this guy is just as good looking. He's Hawaiian and still looks like the same handsome boy I knew in junior high but now he also has some muscles.

Ha. Well the first thing I thought of when I saw the title was that must have been Donny Osmond.

My celebrity crushes were Joey McIntyre from NKOTB and Jonathan Brandis from Seaquest.
