My first puppy-love crush was on my seventh grade teacher.
My first REAL crush...I was in my early 20s and still not out to anyone, especially myself. A friend and I were attending a birthday party for a co-worker of hers. At the party was a heart-stopping, jaw-dropping, butch. I couldn't take my eyes off her, and when she came over to talk to us, I thought my legs wouldn't hold me up anymore. She was the kind of person that touched you (your arm, hand) when she spoke...and every time she touched me my brain stuttered to a stop and I became completely tongue-tied. I don't remember her name, and I never saw her again...but I thought about her for years! I can STILL remember what she looked like. Pivotal moments in your life stay with you forever.
