How much attention did you get from the opposite sex at school?

Just for fun
Were you one of the people everyone had a crush on or no one had a crush on you or somewhere in between?

    Pretty much none. I wasn't one of the cool kids, spent most of my time hanging around with my friends. None of us really had any interest in girls at that age, although I suspect had any girl shown interest in any one of us we would have jumped at the chance, but not being in the cool crowd meant that was unlikely. I found my first girlfriend when I was in first year at university and the rest as they say is history.

    I had a crush but it was on a teacher! I was a bit of a loner. There was one boy who asked me out a few times but I was suspicious that he was doing as a bet/ dare so I just laughed that one off.

    I was quiet, and a loner towards the end of school. No ones crush that I know of. My college days were better as I met my husband there!

    Pretty much zilch!

    I made up for lost time in my 20's -40's (ie because I was attractive by then).

    Then I got to my 50's - not good. My 60's - I'm not even interested any more.

    I had a long term 'boyfriend' at school - think we 'went out' for a 3 years (long term at that age). 
    Our teachers used to call us Bonnie and Clyde. We were very naughty and worse still when we were together egging each other on to do bigger and worser stunts which we did out of boredom, neither of us suited school

    In the last year of school, his parents took the drastic action of moving him to a school miles away.  That was the end of that

     He was a great guy, he turned out well, has his own business now. He was like a young Antonio Banderas at the time - we still stay in occasional contact, and I love to hear from him and wish him well



    With love, POSR <3

    Life is like a bath, the longer you are in it the more wrinkly you become.
  • First girlfriend at 7, on the way to a school trip to Butlins aged 9 I was having to consider which of 3 girls would be my suitor for the week. Oh for the good old days.

    None. I was bullied for being "frigid" (I was 11.......) and have never really been attractive in my opinion. It's actually quite damaging.  I haven't got the confidence to try and meet somebody. It all harks back to being bullied for not being attractive enough, or a geek, or being unwilling to sleep around through secondary school.

    Interestingly Jack doesn't say if anyone had a crush on him. But I think we all know the answer!
