Loved reading this. Reminds me of my first little girl crush.

Ohmigosh this is so cool. My first crush was a pizza guy named Roberto – that was when I was 13 – so that is 32 years ago. It would be so amazing to see him, and find out what happened after he left Manhattan.
I am so looking forward to reading updates on this.
Thanks for visiting.
Ciao bella.

Good piece of writing. I feel so happy for you that you will see him again. You having a special place in his heart too. It made me feel good after reading this.

Thanks for all the feedback! I suppose since this wasn’t a real adult-like crush (although one that obviously left an impression), I really don’t have all those feelings of nervousness about the meeting–and definitely nothing romantic! For me, it’ll be seeing an old friend, an older brother after far too long…even if he was feeling a little “anonymous” in the comments yesterday

At 4 years old? Interesting, in my post this week I also wonder whether crushes at that age are genuine (in my case, the crushes of my 3-year-old sons). I think they are, actually, and your experience proves it.

In any case, how romantic!!! Will you be fluttery as a feather or cool as a cucumber when you do meet him? I think I would turn into a giggly schoolgirl again if I saw one of my crushes.

How wonderful and satisfying that you’ll get to see him again after all these years! You’ll have to right a follow-up for us — please?

How sweet that you’re crush started at 4 years old. It’s a reminder to give children respect for the deep emotional complexities they already feel at such a young age.

If you are lucky, than we are lucky that you shared your crush history. I love the way you and MFC met up again. It was so sweet–even if not the traditional romantic ending I would have hoped for…but it was definitely another kind of lovely!:)

It’s always nice to hear from an old crush, out of the blue! And to learn about your early childhood from him is really special. Hope you have a wonderful visit!
