A two parter:


Laura M. in first grade.  I thought I felt "hungry" for her, didn't realize that was just early symptoms of crush-ness.  Not sure whatever happened to her.


The first time I really recognized it for what it was, I was in fourth grade, 1972.  The object of my affections was a cute, somewhat chunky blond girl named Cindy with a very unique last name.  Fast forward 15 years, I was in my mid 20s and running marketing and sales for a local accounting firm.  I received a call from a woman selling advertising with the exact same name, though now calling herself "Cynthia."  Curiosity got the better of me and I agreed to hear the sales pitch.  15 years later, she was a dead ringer for Meg Ryan.  Rowrrrrrr.

I thought your story was going to end with "And we've been happily married ever since."

hah!  No, for a variety of reasons, I prefer exotic, long, lean brunettes and Cynthia was a 5'2" perky blonde.  Mrs. Mick is a 6' beauty of Croatian descent and I have been entirely besotted by her for 30 years.

+1 on the tall Slavic brunettes; my wife is of part Serbian descent, and though not 6', long and lean apply.  Her grandfather was a History professor specializing in East European studies at Stanford (http://news.stanford.edu/pr/2005/pr-obit...42705.html).
