I'll be the first logical person to say that there shouldnt really be any extra 'feelings' for childhood sweethearts or HS sweethearts because its just two random people thrown together by geography and where their parents just happened to live. But, i have to say that there's a special 'pull' towards this type of relationship in my mind.
Does anyone have any experience with dating or marrying a childhood crush, ya know, the first person who caught your eye in first grade (or in HS) and is there a 'special' bond that you feel you have with that person that might be different than what you have or had with someone who didnt grow up in your town and in your schooling system?
You know what, this thread actually has my brain ticking. When I was in grade school in CT, there was a girl I was friends with and both our families were very close. I moved to NY and never heard from her again until recently on Facebook where she sent me a message and told me how she had been thinking about me and something was pulling her to find me.
Perhaps I should respond to her and see what happens. She's quite a beautiful woman now.
The first girl that caught my eye stabbed me with a pencil in the 3rd grade. I stil got the piece of led in my hand all these years later. Years later I met some girl wearing a pink dress that I was crazy for I was 8. Lived near her for about a year & that was it we traveled so much that I didn't get close to anyone. So maybe location has something to do with it.
My wife and I have been together since we were in the sixth grade. But we became play boyfriend and girlfriend from the first to the third grade. We would talk about getting married one day then we "broke up"in the fifth grade. However we still had romantic feelings for each other. She would get really jealous whenever I was around another girl then we officially became a couple in the sixth grade. I always knew from the first grade that we were going to get married one day. We're both 21 now and we got married at 18.

I don't but I know you read my thread about 9th grade algebra girl who's been on my mind lately (you commented in the thread)
These people just stick with you sometimes. Of course it's just chance and geography as far as that goes, but the period in your life when you knew them is what makes them special. You grow up and start seeing the world through "grown up" eyes and you're naturally not ever as affected by people as you are when you're younger. (ie; teen years, maybe early 20's when you're in college.)

I married the woman I started dating as a freshman in high school. We're 36 now. It's pretty amazing. I didn't start to really appreciate it until just a few years ago. She and I went to high school together, college together, moved from California to Idaho to Washington to Virginia to Colorado to Georgia together. We still gossip about people we had in common in high school. She's FB friends with my first girlfriend (whom she knew in third grade). I remember her parents when they were closer to the age we are now than the age they are now. They are simply mom and dad. Her younger sisters feel just as much like sisters to me as my blood sisters. I remember them when they were sucking their thumbs and in diapers. I remember their first boyfriends, their proms, etc. She helped me bury both of my parents. Even though my dad died when we were 19, he knew her and loved her like a daughter. She remembers that and knows how important he was to me. I haven't spoken to my brother on a regular basis since I was 16 (he turned out to be a druggie). She remembers him and knows what a huge influence he had on me as a child. I couldn't imagine life without her. She knows me better than anyone ever could at this point, and I her. I feel like she's more a part of me than my bones and blood. Keeping her close and happy is the absolute number one priority in my life. So yeah, it's a special bond.
