I think this is a cute idea, although I don't have time to invest into it right now either..but I will later.

It will be interesting to compare where we started out to where we ended...with "types" of men that is!!!

Also, to talk about what it meant to us then...at our young, naive age...haha!

Me, too when I have time and mine's name was Tommy, same as Audrey's. How ironic.

How funny that you share that in common...she was just talking about him!

TOMMY was my first love. He was 21 and I was 17 and had just started college. Tommy and I met at a WINE BAR in the neighborhood.

He was gorgeous - tall, dark and Teddy-Bear-handsome, beautiful brown eyes, gainfully employed; an electrician and a biker.
OOH-LA...LA!!!

He started talking to me and he was with another couple: the guy was his best friend and the guy's woman.

Tommy and I dated and had great fun. We double-dated often.
Many times all four of us went to the beach at night. We would part ways and meet up later.
Tommy and I did that DRY HUMPING thing on the beach. Oh! My! Until one day he just ripped off my jeans...
And you all know what happens when it's YOUR FIRST TIME, right?

He gathered up the beach blanket at the end of that evening and we had been in the other couple's car. He kissed me good-Night and I just wanted to cry...

He called me at my house and my mom told him that I was not home.
He called me at my GF's house and said he would pick me up.
I had gone to the dry cleaners but that didn't matter to him.
I was so thrilled that he did that!!!

BUT THEN, when we got back to my house he said that he needed to tell me something.
he told me that the other guy, his best friend was married...BUT NOT to the woman that we had been with double-dating.
I was so innocent and naive. I said that it was OK; that's they're issue...

The next time, he came over. he took me to the Old World's Fair grounds here in Queens. We sat on the base of the UNISPHERE - I couldn't climb that thing now if you paid me.
We talked and laughed and smooched and then he took me on the bike to a lovely area nearby and he sat me down...

He asked if I remembered the story he told me about his friend. of course, I said. then he shared that he had a GF in Connecticut all along. I just looked at him. he told me that he was at that wine bar and the other couple having an affair thought that he should too.
So, he met me...

He told me that I was such a wonderful person that he needed to tell me the truth. I just looked at him...

A few months later, I was out with GF's and there was a live band performing (no dancing) AND THERE HE WAS.

He made a point of passing my table and he tenderly touch my long brown hair. I felt that tingle... i just turned around and looked at him:)

Auds...I am running out of tissues here!!! What an amazing love story. Did you ever find out what happened to him?

YES! darlin, I did.
Years later when I was in my 30's, I was working in the City at Citibank.
There was one day that we needed to move because they were fixing the electricity in our office.

Twilight-zoney coming up....okay?
I asked one of the workers if he knew Tommy Zach. He told me that he did. My main man, Zach, was the SUPERVISOR of them ALL.
He lives in Monroe, upstate NY with his wife a few kids.
i just smiled because that was always tommy's dream - to live in Monroe...AND HE DID. Another man with a passion!!!

He didn't marry THAT girl from CT; it was someone else:)))

At least you had some closure knowing how it all ended. :) Good for you and what a freaking small world!!!

2nd Grade - Walter Dourant! LOL I can't believe I can remember!

Auds,

That was sooo sweet... and I had déjà vu.
My first love was a guy who was singing in a band.
My best friend was a girl who was considered gorgeous, every guy's dream. Everywhere we went, guys were flocking all over her. I was used to not get any attention like the ugly duckling.
One night, we went dancing with life band and there this guy was- the singer, tall, blond, blue eyed, handsome, sexy and all girls were all over him. Break time he starts walking towards my GF and me and I was thinking to myself " Wow, he noticed Neli (my GF). Maybe if they hook up we can go to concerts for free" . He comes straight to us and is not even looking at her. He starts talking to me and asked me to stay to the end because he wanted to talk to me and maybe walk me home. Back home, that was sign the guy is asking you out. Wow, I was so excited to be noticed by a "celebrity" and a handsome guy at that, needless to say it was love from first sight. I fail hard, just insane for this guy and few months later, one thing led to another and we did it. He knew he was my first and was very gentle and sweet. Later I realized his attention span was pretty short with the girls. I couldn't hold on to him for too long. Of course the fact that I was totally smitten didn't help, since I was not a challenge anymore, he moved on. He never really let me know, so I used to go to places I knew he would be, just to see him. Took 3 years to figure out that he is gone.

Buits...but not in your heart. awwww. BTW, I feel honored that you came over here as you pretty much stay home (Goddess thread). ;) Love your story!! I have a funny one that involved the lead guitarist of a band when I was a teenager...just not now. :)Tired, long and rough day at work.

Auds and Buits, lovely. Buits, I have been there and not realized they were gone, funny now, not so funny then though.

My first was Tommy, me 17 him 21. I met him at a dance club my senior year in high school. Wow he could dance. Girls always all over him wanting to dance. I admired him from a far. Well I was shy (hard to believe I know) but I forced myself to dance because I love to dance. He noticed and eventually he started asking me. We would make out in the parking lot. I fell head over heels. He ran with different women. He would call me sometimes and we would spend all day together occasionally. I would not give it up, but might as well have, we did everything else. We would lay by the pool, drink beer, cook and then he would run around with other girls. No boundaries for me.

I graduated, went to a technical college in mornings and work in a parts department in a car dealership in the afternoon. Our paths had seperated, but I was still so in love. He did not know I worked there. One day I looked up and there he was to buy a part. I could not speak. Oh lord, I almost died. I managed to help him and then after he left I went to the bathroom and cried. My boss sent me home. I was heart broken. Came to work the next day, got a phone call, it was him. He asked could I come outside. I did, he was there and he just hugged me and told me he had loved me a long time. We were together for about 2 years. I can still remember how my shirt felt against my skin as he took it off that first time. Silly women we are. I ended up breaking his heart. Been a long time since I thought of that. By the way, no one else has come close to how open he was in the bedroom since.

I married mine! I was 16 and he was 19 when we met. I ended up marrying him at 18. We divorced when I was 21...but I have an awesome son as a legacy! I've never loved anyone as much since 'cept f/ GBNF...and breakup w/ him hurt even more than when my 1st love and I parted ways.

And on heels of Robin's post, GBNF WAS very close to "open in the bedroom" aspect...both could take my very breathe away!

Just got another one of those "so sorry to hear about you and ***; how are you?" messages on facebook.

I am goddess! 'nuff said!

Darlin,

You are funny. I made the Goddess thread home because I believe in it after spending 3 months at the break up NC place. I am trying to build myself up so I don't end up there again with broken heart and dreams. I love to give all I've learned and learn from others, so we all do better next time. Besides I have full time job, disabled child and another one going through some really hard times. He is 18 and last year when he was 17 him and his GF were hit by drunk driver. She died on the scene and he had close head brain injury. He is still battling depression and that mixed with the age makes it very difficult to deal with. I have no family here. Raised my kids on my own with no help and no child support.
I have always been hard working mom who takes care of her family. As you see, I don't have much time to spend here and make routes. Don't get me wrong, I love being here, but I have to sleep too. :-)

Buits,

You are soooo goddess! Thank you for sharing that very personal story. In the brief time I have been here, I have always held a certain respect for you. Perhaps it's because you exhibit a great sense of self respect. And now that you've shared about your sons' and being a single mom, it's also obvious that you maintain your grace under pressure. I commend you on your bravery and insight....it's easy to stay positive when life is treating us kindly...it shows strength of character when you are vulnerable yet still find the goodness under the surface!

Namaste! I am in awe of you right now, lady! You are a beacon of love and light!

Buits...I am speechlessly in awe. You mean you need sleep??? C'mon, stop being so selfish! lol... I just pulled myself off a case (was so happy to have more hours) that involved a 17 yr. old troubled kid...negative and destructive thinking all the time, got to be too much and my supervisor and I agreed that it felt uncomfortable and unsafe for me to be there...not that this is your son's problem, but I can only just imagine and what a heartbreak to have lost his girl and end up the way he did. BUT, he has a super mom who he knows he can count on. Bless your heart and you can live anywhere you'd like to. :) love to you.

Smerk,

Thank you for your kindness. You are gentle soul.

Darlin,

Appreciate the premission to live at my Goddess patch. You are welcome any time to visit me there.

Love you girls

Buits (aka The Mother of All Goddesses)

well not my first real love of course but my first crush was a very sad experience.......It was in first grade when I met Adam a very sweet little boy (of course in first grade he wasnt little at least to other first graders) He and I were good friends, and I always thought him very handsome...........Then one day when I came to class our teacher was crying.....she told us that a fire had happenend and that Adam had died......it was my first crush and my first experience with death....I rememember that our teacher had us plant a tree in his honour and I was touched that I got to be the first student to put dirt around the tree.....the tree is still in the school grounds......I never forgot him. =)

laisy...Sigh!! You brought me to tears. How sweet and sad and at least you were given that honor to be the first at placing the dirt around "growing Adam". :( I am in tears. Thanks for sharing that heart felt story, and bless him wherever he is.

You made me think of my very first crush...I too was around five yrs. old and in the hospital having tonsils removed. There were a few of us in the room and one adorably cute little boy whose name was Hector Hoolihan. ;) Never forgot his name and remember looking back at him at some point while leaving to go home.Bye Hector. ;)

my first love....OMG .... I met him in grade 7.....was going out with his brother at the time..... LOL !!

He came down the hall as I was walking with my best friend....

"Hi Saucy" he said, smiled and continued walking

"Who was that?" I looked back incredulously and asked my best friend.

"Oh, that's _____. He's a bad seed, Saucy. Oh and he's _____'s brother"

It was that instant I knew love.

I was never the same after that :)

He's a guy that has haunted me my whole life. After finally letting him go in 1992, he came back to me in 2009.

My first love's name is buffoon.... a name and sordid story the Cavalry should know very well from the No Contact board :)

awwww, and isnt the young innocence the best part of the "crushing" no games no drama.........just.........emotions!

So Sweet, yes!!

Happy Thanksgiving All!!!
