A woman from back in my high school past friended me on FB a couple weeks ago. I sorta recognized the name but, and what I now know to be her 'new' first name, threw me a bit. So I waited to see if we had any mutual friends in common to ensure it wasn't a spam account etc.
Once I saw that we had mutual FB friends from high school I accepted her friendship request this weekend and sent a message asking her how she was doing etc., that I was pretty sure who she was but not sure of her new first name and that I had a big crush on her in high school (Freshman year. She was my first high school crush - she wore the best skirts!). She wrote back with this response:
"Awwww Bruce, so nice to hear from you. Looks like you got a nice life for yourself down there and I had a crush on you toooooooo!"
WHAT?! This is crazy! She was all like *BAM!* back then and I was all like *BLAH!* I am having a hard time believing this (maybe she is being nice) but now I need to go back in time destination 1984-1985 smack my young self in the head and tell him to get some self-esteem. This is the second high school female acquaintance to tell me such things.
I'm telling you, whenever I think my kids are feeling the way I think they are feeling in those awkward years to come I will really try to impart my knowledge and experiences after high school on them - and hopefully they will listen.

Unfortunately the kids won't listen. As they say, youth is wasted on the young. -- nm

As a sophomore in college, I realized the girl I had adored in high school had been chasing me that whole time.

"I had a crush on you tooooo!"? Did you say you had a crush on her? Or anything? That seems so out of the blue. -- nm
