Crushes

I am a teenage girl. This means that occasionally there will be a boy that I will like quite a bit. I have had many 'crushes' throughout my 17 years of life. I refuse to actually name any of them, they will all be people I actually knew/know and not famous ones.

I'm going to start with my first crush, which was when I was about five. It was a boy I was friends with at the time (even though when you're five you're friends with everyone really) and his mum and my mum were really good friends. We used to go round each others houses all the time but eventually I stopped liking him because I was about five.

Next was when I was about 12 (wow Claire you've liked so many people) he was a few years older than me. When I look back now I cringe at the fact that I ever liked him. I ended up going out with him but then he dumped me for one of my best friends and so now I hate him. It's not a story I like to tell people because it makes me feel like I'm second best and that I will never be good enough.

Then it was a guy in my history class in year 11, when I was 15/16. I liked him for over a year and I hated it because I was convinced that he would never like me back. My friends would constantly tease me about it and Paige once told him loads of embarrassing stories about me. I actually ended up dating one of his best friends and kind of stopped liking him.

I went out with this guy recently because I kind of liked him and I found out that he liked me. However, one of my friends liked him so it was pretty awkward. But after a few weeks I realised that I didn't like him enough that way to continue our relationship so I ended it with him. He was pretty mad at me to begin with but I think we're okay now.

The next one is the guy I currently like. He's in my sociology class and he's retaking so he's technically in the year above me. I don't really know him too well  so I don't like him loads but I also don't really understand why I like him anyway. He's always getting told off for talking and he's into kind of punk rock music (I think). My friends are now finding out that I like him and it's kind of annoying but at the same time I'm glad I can talk to someone about it. I don't know if I'll continue to like him or not but I guess I'll find out sooner or later.

I may have had more crushes than this, but I have the memory of like a goldfish so I can't remember any others.
