Day 02 – Your first love

[bertine]

This one is hard because I am not sure. I am not sure I ever had a "first love" in the way that many people did. I was painfully shy and withdrawn until my mid 20s so I buried myself in schoolwork and then work so I didn't really date much. What dating I did wasn't very productive and just reinforced my belief that I shouldn't try. So, I am going to tell you about my first crush.

My first crush was on Gary. I was in elementary school with him from K-6 grade. He was blond and had freckles. He was smart yet had this bad boy vibe. In 6th grade he would wear this fake earring to look tough, I thought it was so cute. This ended when we went to different junior high schools.

A couple years ago I looked him up on facebook. He is a minister in out state Minnesota with a couple kids, which stuck me as weird. I didn't friend him since that seemed creepy and stalkerish.

That's funny. I just friended my first crush from 3rd-6th grade on Facebook. Dana. We used to have a signal arranged and we would both take the bathroom passes at the same time. We'd hang out by the big sink, skipping handwriting class. Handwriting is a waste of time anyhow. Then she moved to Forest Lake, and that was the end of that. I wish she had stuck around. She would have been an awesome high school girlfriend.
