Did your sixth form crush stay on your mind at university?

[Sdffa]

If you had a big big crush on someone in 6th form did you still think about them occasionally when you went off to uni?

Or were they out of sight, out of mind?

I still think about my sixth form crush now, 30 years later! My first serious crush, he was wonderful, but unfortunately was seeing someone else.

No way! Having too much fun at uni.

This is interesting question. I had a crush on a friend (friend of a friend) when I was 17, he was a couple of years older, I moved away for uni, we stayed in touch for a few weeks (telephone calls), then it fizzled and I didn’t think about him.

Although he does very occasionally cross my mind now.

I wonder if it would have been as significant if I hadn’t moved away.

Like the first response, I’ve never forgotten my sixth form crush or how devastated i was that she went out with someone else

I’m still friends with the boys I went out with then. We had a great time, but I don’t ever think “what if…” I’m very definitely with the perfect man for me right now.

Reader, I married him. 😉😂

No. But ironically his son and mine ended up at secondary school and played football together, and have just got grad jobs in the same company nearly 40 years on from when I lusted over his dad!

DS is first year and tells me "I still think about her mum". He liked her a lot and in year 12 worked up a lot of courage to ask her out. She did turn him down but told him that he was so sweet.

He still enjoyed talking to her and being around her at school. They met up the summer before uni (just as friends) and DS had so much fun, he was so excited for it and was looking forward to seeing her.

DS tells me he still thinks about her but he knows she's moved on and is having so much fun at uni

Well, we were a couple. Still together now.

Hell no. Moved on at uni. Lots more guys who I had more in common with than at school.

It’s an intense time for all sorts of thoughts. He’ll probably think of her until someone else blows his mind. Hard for him. I had a blast but the heartbreak could be fierce when it hit.

That's lovely.

Snap!

@Sdffayes and I married him ❤️

I think of him fondly. My first love.

We live at opposite ends of the country, but I hope he has had a great and happy life.

If we met tomorrow it would be as friends. We had sooo much fun.

Yes! Fancied him since yr 9 in fact. Slept with him in my final year of uni. Wasn't worth the wait 😂

Another who married him.
We weren't a couple, but I did miss him all through the first year. We saw each other in the summer and decided to try long distance, my logic being, better to miss a boyfriend than miss someone you weren't even going out with.

Yep. Married him!

Nope!

There was me thinking I was special 🤣

I’m now in my late 40s and still think about them! I even saw them in my local supermarket the other day and panicked and hid!!

During my first year of university I got an invitation to go visit my crush’s best friend at his university. Some mutual friends were going for a weekend and I was asked to join as his date for an event. It was through those mutual friends that I discovered my crush and his best friend made a pact that neither of them would date me. I was more than a little annoyed. I had no interest in the friend and really, really liked my crush.

I moved on. University was a whole new world with so many more people like me. My pool had been so small up until that point.

I remember getting my crushes work email (early 00s) and emailing whenever I was in the uni IT lab. Eventually he messaged to say he was getting married to the girl he'd been with all along so I dropped all Comms.

20 years and 2 divorces later we're together, finally!

No, I didn’t give him a second thought, I went abroad to uni and the men were all so self assured and confident, I had a lot of fun!
Married to a Brit who would’ve only been choosing his options when I went to uni, lol

i still remember him fondly, nearly 24 years later. He was a very decent young man but he wasn’t interested in me as anything more than a friend, he let me down very gently and we remained friends but his job took him away and eventually the friendship fizzled.

He met a nice girl and got married. They both do a lot of charity work on account of a family tragedy in their lives. I’m humbled at how much they do.

I’m not on social media and haven’t been for about 10 years now, so I hear secondhand from my cousin about his life, he has made a good career for himself, has a happy, healthy family and friends who adore him. knowing this really warms my heart and I wish him the best.
