When I was 15-18 years old, there was this guy I was really infatuated with. He wasn't my boyfriend; we never dated and I briefly dated other people during that time (he didn't). We were good friends and had a lot of shared friends. So we spent a lot of time together, in groups and alone, and we did sometimes "fool around" together, although never slept together. I think he was my first "love".
Fifteen years later, this man still lives in the same town as me, he works in the town centre and so I quite frequently see him walk by or go past his workplace and, when I do, I always think about him and the times we spent together, and what might have happened if I had asked him out back then.
I've been happily married for 8 years and he has been in a long term relationship for about the same time, so it's not like I want to be in a relationship with him, but I just get a bit nostalgic and sappy thinking about that time. Sometimes I have dreams about him too 😳
Am I the only one who thinks about their first "love" like this or is it normal? Or is it just because I see him around and I should try to avoid that!
