First crush - first love

[Patricia Lotte]

Who's honest enough to name their first crush in O'mund  :36_4_8: ? I remember the boys knocking at the door, dropping off a love letter and then running away  . Yes, I had a shoe box full of those (I'm referring to letters, not guys ...). Some of those guys are on this site  . Should I name them????   

[SandyB]

should  I  ??   ja Ok . my  first  crush  was  my  std  1  teacher  .  Miss  Steyl ...   I  used  to  gaze at  her  dreamily  in class   ..  even  came  first  in class , that  after being  off  for  a  month  with  glandular  fever   just  to  please her ..   I  used  to  even  visit  her at  the  teachers  single  quarters  bearing  gifts ..  much to  the  amusement  of  her  colleagues  and  pals   ...  an  unrequitted  love   .. must  have  made  me such  a  "pleasantly   disturbed "  individual  for  the rest of my  life  ...   or was  I just  always    like  that ?? dreamy ??

Yes Sandy I remember thinking that Miss Styl was very pretty. She was my Sub B teacher.
Well I really don't remember who my first crush was,so I'm going to have to say it must have been my dear friend David Eyre judging by the amount of photo's I have of him.I also recall thinking he was far to short for me. If I'm not mistaken I think he was Barbara Eia"s first crush as well. don't hit me now Barbara I loves you.

Mine was Lionel Gillbee - his parents were Norval and Sheila - Norval and my dad were freemasons - they were also family friends - they were in fact my Godparents - I still have a photo at 1 of my b'day parties (± 8/9) where i'm staring adoringly at him in the group photo in the garden - i'm in the front row, he's in the back and i just about twisted my neck off to see him.........oh, young love.........

[Barbara Eia (Brownless)]

Oh Diana 

Yes David was my first true love....I never had a crush on any of my teacher.

Now you've started something Patricia  ........so come on names please???? then I'll share. Oh boy - This is going to be fun. :36_2_35:

Ok, so here goes ... when I was 10 or so, I would get loads of love letters from Marcel Ruf (oh my God, Georg Senior and Georg Junior are going to have a field trip on this one ...  ), Martin Niemand, and a few others, with the usual 'I love you more than he does" style phrases. But my real big first crush was a guy called Werner Ewald  :36_4_8: . I used to see him at the tennis club on Saturday afternoons and would get shivers looking at that cute butt of his  ! He looked soooooo cute in his shorts.

My first crush was was in Std Five and it was Billy Linaker. I think all the girls liked him.

[georg ruf jr.]

Okay. You're all being honest. So I'll give it a try to.
I just remember having had crushes on almost any girl I knew in those days. One or two of them are even on the board. hihihi
Even as a man of over 40, being married for the second time (forget whatever else happened) I still can't tell what these days realy meant.
Puberty is just I time of being near unconcious at times. That's the way I remember it.

[georg ruf jr.]

Is this going to be a typical female dominated topic? come on guys...

[Rhona]

Hey Sharon, I remember Billy Lineker..........he was in school with me while I was in O'mund. My memory of him is of him breaking his legs when we were kids.............I think he fell off a roof or something!!! Jeez, do you know if that's a correct memory?

[georg ruf jr.]

I remember a boy playing Superman ans jumping from a garage in the 70s.

[Michael Alexander]

@Rhona, I think Billy broke his leg or hip on that metal roundabout at the school..... if memory serves me!~

[Michael Alexander]

@ Georg jnr, I remember adults, pissed drunk scotsmen jumping of garage roofs into portapools thinking they were superman, Alan Delaney was one, and actually took the corner piece of his garage roof with him into the pool!
