I was maybe 12 or 13 when I met Junior Baca. An Esai Morales look alike. I was his girlfriend for almost a year and then his family moved. I don't track lost loves. I figure they got lost for a reason.

Yes, we were both 10 years old and I really liked that his mum put an extra iced cup cake in his lunch for me

I was walking down the corridor I caught a glimpse a goddess an angel sent from heaven. She was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen in my life. I remember it like it was yesterday. From that day I was determined to find out everything about her. I got to know her she was smart talented athletic we hit it off but I moved we kept in touch everyday fir a brief while then it became every week every couple weeks till finally the calls stop coming. I knew what we had was over. I sometimes wonder what became of her. We've all moved on. I'm just happy to have met her.

I loved him, but I never married him. He had a bad habit, I was not fond of but I loved him till the day he passed away.I told him, give up his habit, but he would not. I was around 10 years of age, when we met, he was the same age. He went in the military, we lost touch, he got married to someone else, a divorce, i got married to someone else I was then divorced too, later we were both single, but I would not marry him because of his bad habit. I could not do that. He is passed away now, because of his bad habit, I am still living with no bad habits like his.Edited 07-Jul-23 08:17am

Do not know (I swear, I don't...), how it happened, but I was locked in the shed with our neighbour's son who was a year older than me, I think, (my 4 to his 5), I had a vision of us never again leaving the garage, and told him that we'd just have to get married. He had been tinkering with the door trying, kind of haphazardly, to open the door. When I made my pronouncement about our future together - stuck in the shed - he flew at the door like a ram on heat!

Yes but I would rather forget. Not a good experience.

I think I was about 8 when I kissed Johnny behind a tree and was caught by his and my parents. He and his family were friends of my parents.

My first childhood romance was when I was 7, he was 11 and kissed my hand at school. We were together for what seemed like months but was probably days... then he kissed my sister's hand and it was all over. Oh fickle love!

My parents sent us all to Catholic girls school from 7 to 17..so when i escaped to Study woohoo..guys!!

I was 16 and he was 19, we got engaged when I was 17 and he was 20, then married when he was 21 and I was 18. We celebrate 57 years this year. My goodness that sounds like a looong time.

Yes

We were only girls both and kindergarten and primary school. So only at 14 a boy wanted to marry me - amused my parents when he asked them very seriously. He was in love with me - I don’t think I was. But never forget him.

Yes, I was only 6, his name was Richard and he came around to ask my Dad if I could play with him and my Dad sent him packing.

Yes I do. Primary School, and my first proper tongue pash with her. Amber. Great memories!

yes but would never want to rekindle when the "flame dies it is dead

Yes but no interest in looking any ex's up.

First serious boyfriend - we had a song. After no contact in over 50 years, I was using Facebook when a message arrived. It was just the first line of 'our song'. His name was attached to the message. I typed in the next line of the song and then we connected. Have been Facebook friends now for two years.

Had a crush on a boy in primary school... too young to go on dates etc.

nO. iT STILL HAS NOT HAPPENED AND i DON'T EXPECT IT EVER WILL🙃

Yes I always remember her. Still it was very short because I dumped her straight away. but she later kissed me on a school camp and that was the best.

He was a ticket collector on our railway station and was about 1 year older than me. I thought he was so sophisticated.

Ah the first time I found kissing girls was good.

Yes 1st grade MalcolmFirth We had even picked out the ring at the corner shop , he was saving…. Next term he never came back , I think the family moved Gutted lol Robbed of my first ring …..ha ha

yes, was in primary school, he was 2 years older, i dumped him & he punched me in the guts. never ever has a male tried to hit me again hence old flames can burn for all i care

When I was very young, 4 or 5, I was crazy about the boy across the street. His name was David. We would pretend that we were riding horses on the brick , side walls of his front steps. He was a few months older than me, so he started kindergarten before me. I found a new boyfriend around the corner and I would roll my baby doll in her stroller to his house and we would pretend to be married. Sadly, that ended when my family moved away.

No not really, nothing that wonderful, but did fancy a guy badly, then when I dated him he was an idiot.

Yes but not going back into the past , next year i will be married for 40 years and still happy

Yes. Ugh

Yes and it can stay in the past. So no we didn't have our happily ever after and my heart was broken. Happily married coming up to 15 years and both second marriages for us. We are a good team together.

I was 11 and he was 9. It was at camp. We kissed and held hands. Even had a "wedding". Don't remember his name sadly. But it was sweet.

Never had one. Unbeknown to me I had a couple of flaws that stopped me from going into it. I recently went to a school reunion grade 1 and was told I held the hands under the desk with a girl. Don’t recall that but do remember grade 5 doing it. I am rh and she was lh so was easy. She didn’t come to the reunion so missed her.Edited 06-Jul-23 12:43pm

My first was a lovely boy named Andrew in prep school. He was keen to show me his 5yr old manly skills so went outside and was chopping some wood with his father's mini axe...with me standing behind watching on, the thing flew out of his hand and nicked me in the eyebrow. I still recall his mum plonking me up on the kitchen bench and putting a bandaid on me and we had nice glass of cordial.. ( not sure mine was too thrilled when I got home!) But awwe he was gorgeous .

Does a crush on my teacher count?

Yes I was 5 and her name was Lesley

I recall it. 5th or 6th grade. I'm glad that didn't pan out but, she sure did. I think she has her own zipcode now.

Yes. Primary school...A lovely girl named Jenny...

It was in grade school, grade 4 or 5. She was probably (in my mind, anyway) the most perfect girl I have ever seen, right up to today. She is an aboriginal girl. Long Raven Black hair. An absolutely terrific figure. She was probably the strongest and most physically talented girl in school She took tap, jazz, and other types of dance classes. I was just skinny, troubled kid without much talent except ice hockey. I couldn’t muster up the courage to ask her out. I now live almost 1200 miles away but I do manage to get to see her almost every summer. After 50 years I finally got the nerve to ask her out to dinner and a movie and she said yes. Sadly, we just couldn’t coordinate our schedules and the date never happened. Well, she said yes once so maybe she’ll say yes this year. Here’s hoping. Edited 06-Jul-23 11:59am

I was 14, he was 17 . By happenstance I met his little sister born 25 years after we had broken up. I checked her identification for a liquor delivery. Asked her if she happen to be related. She said yes! He was my older brother. When I heard "was" I knew it wasn't good. I said what? How? When? She said 2 years ago , yes he's dead. Lung Cancer. I said he was my first real boyfriend. Immediately she confirmed my first name , are you Denise? I was baffled. Yes why? She said ahhh, my mom has talked about you. This young girls son was in a highchair behind her. I wouldve cried if her son looked like his uncle. ..but he didn't. Shocked to learn the first boyfriend died in his early 50s. I wouldn't have wanted him back , but I remember how madly I loved him

Many came but few were Chosen.

I never had a childhood romance I was in my 20's before I had my first romance

I remember very little about it

yes indubitably

Yeah, older woman. I was 4 and she was 5. She moved away 😥

Definitely. I was sitting at the back of the bus with my best friend when these 2 guys got on and one sat next to me. I was reading a comic and as I turned the page he said "I haven't finished reading that page" so I let him finish reading it. He asked what I was doing the following Saturday and I told him my baby brother was having a Birthday party. Apparently he looked for me on the day and couldn't find me. The following week my friend and I were walking in town when a bus stopped, where they aren't meant to, and he got off the bus with his mate. We started going out that day. I was 13 and he was 15. When he actually saw where I lived he told me he used to live at the bottom of our street and saw a young girl collecting the newspaper from the front lawn one morning and couldn't believe it was actually me. We got married when he turned 21 and we were together until he passed away from cancer just before his 63rd Birthday. It's been almost 5 years now and I still miss him. Especially his big warm hugs.

Yes, I gave my heart, but she never gave it back

I was heart broken when it ended. Years later I realised how it opened the door for me to meet a truer love.

My parents were very strict. The girl my twin brother was dating introduced me to her cousin. So we got to double date. With parent supervision. We were 16.

No comments 😳

Well yes and I choose not to tell and really tio think about it.

I REMEMBER MY CHILDHOOD ROMANCE EVERY SUNDAY WE GO TO CHURCH AND HEAR MASS TOGETHER WITH OUR PARENTS AND AFTER THAT WE ARE SINGING AND PLAYING GUITAR TOGETHER WITH OUR FRIENDS BECAUSE OUR PARENTS ARE VERY STRICT TO CHILDREN...

didnt have childhood romance.

Yes, I remember him, sadly he passed away at a very young age. A few years after I met him I was informed.

Middle school a student who play football.

Of course, still annoyed she dumped me!!

No didn't really have anyone other then friends until I was 17yrs old and met the guy of my dreams and we married at 18. We have now been married for 48 years.

No I didnt have any romance just lots of close friends it wasnt until I was 20 that I met my late husband we had a wonderful life together

It depends

I saw this on a news channel the other night some successful some not. Sometimes its better to let what was be a wonderful memory.

Yes I do too!!

I don't associate romance with childhood.

YES

I am not sure what the figures are, but I think that 3/10 childhood romance result in marriage when grow up

Yes. His name was Billy and he was in my class. This 70 years ago, and I was 6 years old.

Very much so

Yes I do!!!

1st grade. It wasn't long and he moved away. I was heartbroken!

Me and my neighbour were childhood friends, and then teenage sweetheart’s, and then we took different paths and walked our individual life’s journey. Sadly his life was tragically taken, I will always remember him…

not very good i was rejected we took piano lessons together

yep, and sadly when she heard I'd got married to someone else she drowned herself in a bath

Yes, I married her

Yes I ended up marrying him

I remember a boy that I had dated during my junior and senior year of high school in which it only lasts for five years until 2011 when we breakup.

Impossible when in girls school : ((

Sure do! "Crush" is a good word!

Indeed! He played for the under 17s, number 8. My dad was the coach. I was 3. I thought he was beautiful. He bought me a box of chocolates when I turned 4.

never had a childhood romance (PERIOD) was too business 'dealing' with survival issues (grow up in segregated, rough neighborhoods) - I 'guess' childhood romances happen to middle-class kids and/or rich kidsEdited 06-Jul-23 14:59pm

Yes...and after 55 years..we are still friends..

I have never felt that wham bang moment. I did care a great deal for a young man who was a regular in the Australian army who went to Vietnam. We broke up pre his departure. I often wonder what if but would never dream of reconnection.

I was twelve, it lasted seven months, she dies in my arms a week before Christmas of the asian flu like so many at the time, I still miss her, some love lasts forever.

my first childhood romance involved identical twins...Silvia and Frances...I became their boyfriend in the first few days of primary school...most of the other boys thought girls smelled..idiots..it was them that smelled!
