Found my childhood sweetheart

I still speak to my first boyfriend every so often, his parents haven't moved, so it's easy enough to catch up with him. I always find it a bit weird though, because we were really close for years, but now we're totally different people. He's definately the one I wish I'd never let go though, we should have been together through high school but I messed it up.
 
Yeah, theres one person for me which I had a huge thing for. It never did and never will go anywhere, ever - which is fine. But its the one person I always see and think they are totally awesome. I'll live :p

Not sure if that counts as childhood sweetheart... my first crush I have definately got over and I was into her in an unhealthy way! Maybe I'm just the kinda guy that ends up in those situations. Oh dear!
 
there used to be this one girl where i grew up who everyone fancied and she was really cool to hang around with, she ended up beeing known as the local bike, i found her on facebook and i dont know wtf has happened but shes not very attractive at all anymore and only around 7 years has passed :S

Probably am, but she never got to find that out. Regardless, i'm now known (only jokingly I hope :p) to my mates as a "flipper" - a man capable of lesbianising women.

If true, i'm sure theres money to be made there somewhere.

In any case, I use it to keep irish in check. "Cook my dinner or i'll lesbianise you".

Works a treat.

Ha, my last boyfriend emigrated to the other side of the world after I broke up with him. Thats a standing joke with my mates as well.
:D
 
I think bebo, facebook etc will be responsible for an increase in the divorce rate over the next few years. Up until now it would usually only be by chance that you might bump into a childhood sweetheart, but with these social networking sites the chances of coming across them are much much higher. Even if our morals stay the same, the increased quantity of 'meetings' will result in more cheating and therefore more divorces.

I found my childhood sweetheart through a friends friend on Facebook.. I was amazed it was actually her but I just had to ask and it turned out it was. The thing is that she has a 14month old baby and is currently engaged now, so she seems to be happy with life and i'd never spoil that for her.

Although I moved on many years ago after she moved away, I still had a flame burning for her and whenever I think about her she gives me butterflys in my stomach. I've never felt like the way I do about a girl before as I do with her.

I know I can't turn back time and i'm happy that she is happy but I do often think that I should have searched harder for her years ago after she left our street, so I could keep in contact. And I did try my best to find her for many years. The last time I bumped into her was when I was doing some work afterschool and she was playing netball against my school. My heart nearly burst through my chest when I seen her. That was 11 years ago.

My question is that, has anyone else let a loved one or childhood sweetheart slip through their fingers and wish they had kept in touch?

I'd like to see the statistics for Friends Reunited.
I personally know 4 couples who've split because of that site.

Add my parents to that. My dad was contacted by a childhood sweetheart and caused my parents to split. I think its because it gives them nostalgia for a more exciting time, it failed shortly after when reality hit.

wow

Funnily enough I was told theres a woman who has tried to contact me on FR but I'm staying away.
Every woman I've come across from my youth have been mingers but were OK when they were young.
My missus isn't too bad for her age and I definitely made the right choice.

When I moved during high school I left almost my entire life behind. All my mates, all my sweethearts, etc. Strange to think that apart from family and people that were adults and family friends I don't really know anyone at all from my youth.

There are a couple of people I remember rather fondly, but I can't say I ever felt like finding them. It'd only ruin the memories. They're in the past for a reason, and nothing is ever as good as you remember it.
 
Bizarre! lol!

Just got a random message on FB off a girl I had a huge crush on in high school, who I haven't seen in 7 years!

"Hey stranger

Hope all is well. Look after yourself
