Here’s a lovely animated film on YouTube. According to the film’s creator, Julia Pott, it is based on interviews about first crushes. I love her treatment! The storytelling is fascinating, the animation magical and the music keeps the video playful and nostalgic. It will also make you wonder about that first crush of yours. 😉
That last line was the sweetest, wasn’t it? Thanks to my sister for the lead on this video.
My first crush was a boy named Russ. I was in kindergarten. He sat across me during class and had the biggest crush on a girl from another class, a girl named Gina. It fascinated me how hooked he was on her, and how she ignored him. He’d literally chase her. I just watched from the sidelines. I tried to get his attention once but he just ignored me. It was a bit sad, but I moved on quickly. I wonder where he is now though!
Who was your first crush? 😉
Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.

BTW, you have an award on my blog.
Thanks for sharing this cool video.

November 5, 2007 at 9:27 am (17 years ago)omg, my first crush was in kindergarten too! we were 5, his name was vidan and he liked this girl elaine. i remember being secretly irked at her ’cause she sat with crossed legs all the time, all along i thought it was a sign of flirtation/pang-maarte. i can’t remember how my affection ended though, it was so fleeting, hahaa.

November 5, 2007 at 12:23 pm (17 years ago)wow! i can’t remember my first crush anymore. what i do remember, though, ay yung mga guys na sobrang nagka-crush ako, as in kinahumalingan. 😆
there was this classmate of mine in high school, named carlo, whom i had a huge crush on. nalaman ko meron isang girl from a lower level na may crush din sa kanya na maglalakas loob daw to ask him on a date! malandi! ginawa namin nung friend ko we stalked the girl at tinaray-tarayan the whole afternoon! 😆

November 6, 2007 at 2:19 am (17 years ago)my first crush was a boy from the other section. i was in grade 1, morning class section. in the school i attended, girls are separated from boys. co-ed classes hardly come by.
i came to notice him when he was “punished” for being talkative. he was sent by his teacher to stand in the corner in the girls’ section, which happened to be my classroom. cute boy with a mischievous smile.

November 7, 2007 at 12:16 am (17 years ago)My first crush was a guy named YANSI. He was a neighbor and we would play as kids. He gave me my first valentine card but my big sis cut it into small pieces. I think she was a bit jealous since I was only 7 and Yansi was 9.
He was also my first kiss but it was on the cheeks. He was also the first to propose to me since we were both chinese and his Dad wanted to arrange to have us marry each other when we become 18. I was 7 then and he was 9. He agreed to it but my Mom didn’t.
I wonder what would have happened if the contract was sealed?

November 8, 2007 at 5:19 am (17 years ago)I don’t think I had any crushes on anyone until I was a teenager. One that comes to mind was with a guy from our “brother” school, who I only saw once but I can still remember that one moment. Oh, I also know his full name— Amador Buenaseda III, Notre Dame, Class of ’81. Anybody know where he’s at?

November 8, 2007 at 7:49 am (17 years ago)my first crush was alfredo lopez jr. he was my classmate nung kinder. (o diba kumpleto? haha!) i think my teacher knew i had a crush on him kasi ginawa niya kaming loveteam, hehe. anyway, i don’t know where he is now but i’d be interested to find out what ever became of him.
