6. Wrote her a letter with the kind of “romantic” language I learned from the telenovelas my babysitter would watch, stuff like “I long for the sweet touch of your lips”. I was 6 or something. I also said I wanted to marry her. When my parents asked, “where would you sleep?” I triumphantly answered, “together in your room of course!” (I still slept in my parents’ bed, too scared to sleep alone). Read More…By — Thebangzats

15. Sean, 5 or so. He’d come over to my house after school every day (my mom babysat him). He kissed me once at school and we got in trouble. Around the first grade we pinky swore that we’d get married some day, had mock weddings all the time. Crush faded, he came out publicly in the tenth grade but he told me years before. Actually we both dated the same guy once without knowing it. We’re now in university and we still walk home from classes together. Love him like family. Read More…By — Gooseymcgooseface

20. The first one I remember was in 3rd grade. My sister convinced me to make her a valentine, a big cardboard heart, I mean huge. Painted red and all that. Don’t really remember her reaction but I remember being happy and my sisters who helped me make it and told me to do it being happy as well. Fast forward a little to family reunion, the only one I have ever been to. Notice her and was exited [sic] because I’ve never seen her outside of school. Asked her what she was doing there. She ended up being my cousin. Read More…By — CantLookBack012

Let’s Find Out What Other People Have To Say About “First Crush Stories” On Quora

I have had my fair share of high school crushes, including a couple of teachers as well. Today, when I look back, it brings a smile on my face. The one I find worth mentioning is the crush I had on my classmate in 10th grade. The interesting part is I was the boy Prefect and she was the girl Prefect, yet I barely spoke to her during the entire year. That’s how awkward and shy I used to be around girls (I still am). She was good looking, decent at academics and pretty good at sports. I really wanted to speak to her but had no courage to do so. I would spend most of my time avoiding eye contact whenever we were on Prefect duty, or even otherwise. Read More… By Naveen N. Bhat

In 12th std, I had a huge crush on a guy. We seldom talked and when we did, we fought. He used to tease me a lot along with his friends but that was okay since I was friends with most of the guys in his group. He is very shy and didn’t talk to a lot of girls. Read More… By Garima Madan

I’m currently in high school and I’ve liked this guy for two years and everyday I wonder if he would ever like me?

I’m Hispanic, I’m not skinny nor am I fat I’m pretty slim. Read More… – Sofia Velez

There was a girl I liked in high school. Everybody in school including a few teachers thought there was something mutual but there was nothing. She hated me as much as I liked her, talked a few times only in 4 years. Four years flew away so quickly, we went to separate places after school. She kept me blocked on fb since the day I created my account and when she unblocked me, I blocked her. Read More… – Dhruv Kumar

School crush. Wow! I had my school crush when I was in my 11th grade. He was in his 10th grade. It was a pretty awesome one 😀 The first day I saw him was in the parking lot of my school. I was sitting with a bunch of friends and he came to the parking lot and drove off. It was one beautiful thing I saw in that hot summer and scorching heat. I was flying for a moment. It took me sometime to get myself back to my senses. When I went home, all I had in my head was his handsome face. He was pretty tall and good looking Read More… – Aparna Ajith

In my school-life, I was a nerd! I was so studious that I looked up from books only to see the black-board in class. I never befriended any guys. I hated them. I found them very unhygienic and filthy. I was always happy with my clean-girls-group. But when I was in 12th standard (year 2011), I had a strong crush on this guy, and I developed it during board-exams! Read More… – Mehek Bassi
