    Just curious about this. You don't have to provide any specific names. But like..did you first feel attracted to a close friend, teacher, classmate(s), celebrities, what? And how old were you (roughly) when you first experienced same-sex/opposite-sex attraction?

    I first started noticing that many of my male classmates were attractive in the 7th grade (so about 12 years old) and I had my first crush on a guy in 8th grade. Didn't know I was gay at the time, but after reflecting on my past experiences, it all kind of makes sense now :lol:.

    I liked this boy Jordan when I was 6. I'm not really sure what that means when you're 6, but I know we kissed.

    A boy in 5th grade. I didn't know what it meant but I remember a sort of 'tingly happy feeling for the first time.

    First same sex was a guy at high school and he had such a sexy stocky body, he was the only guy who was as short as me too, so no tippy toes required. I was 15 and so was he.

    So yes I am a late bloomer, but I am also a pretty flower, because I am a late bloomer.

    I remember crushing on a couple of my sister's friends growing up, though I didn't fully understand it at the time. Looking back it was definitely a crush. I even gave one of her friends a kiss on the cheek :grin:

    First boy crush was as early as 1st grade and I had a crush on this boy. I don't remember his name anymore but he was the only cute boy in my grade. He ended up not liking me and said I wasn't pretty. That immediately made me super angry at him...SO i threw a rock at him.

    I would have to say my first female platonic crush was in second grade with my best friend named Samantha. We were in the same class, always hung out at recess, sat next to each other at lunch or in class (the teacher even had to separate us). I thought she was so cool because we always pretended to be like lions and we would make this sort of "roaring" noise. She left the elementary school before I went into 3rd grade though...

    First REAL female crush: I remember in 6th grade I had a crush on this really pretty girl named Gabriella. She was so pretty. Her hair smelled nice, even though her eyes were brown I thought they looked beautiful in the sunlight. She had a nice olive skin tone (because she's Mexican) and it always looked so soft. Her lips looked super smooth too because she'd always apply this vanilla chapstick. She ended up switching to another school after that. She came back when I was in 8th grade for some Halloween thing we had going on and she chose me to walk with her through the haunted maze. I lost feelings for her once she left but I saw her again and it took me back to when I first saw her. Haven't seen her since then.

    Well the very first time I experienced attraction it wasn't exactly towards a person, more like a cartoon character. lmao. But as for real people, my first crush was on a boy in my class when I was around 7. I just thought he was cute, and I always wanted to be close to him. Gave me that butterflies in the stomach kind of feeling. lol
    My first same sex crush didn't happen until I was 16 though.

    My first crush/attraction was this guy in my 5th grade class (so around 10 or 11). He was also one of my friends, and still is to this day though I've never told him I had a crush on him. I use to be rather protective of him since people sometimes picked on him. And when he came out as gay in 7th grade I had to defend him from some asshats. Since I didn't realize I was trans at that time I was also a little crush that nothing would happen between us, but I was resolute on remain his friend.

    I experienced it first at the beginning of 4th grade, so I was 9 years old. I noticed this boy who looked very cute. It never lead to anything, though, and he has a girlfriend now.

    However, it was only romantic attraction. The thought of doing anything sexual disgusted me. So, for sexual attraction, something like 17 years old.

    First person I ever felt attracted to was Johnny Depp the actor. I was about 10, all my friends had celebraty crushes, and my favorite film at the time was pirates of the carribian. My favorite charictor was captain Jack so I suppose I just decided to crush on him.

    My first real crush was on a girl I was friends with in middle school, I was 12. She was the first person I came out to but I never told her I had a crush on her. She told me that she was ok with it, as long as I never hit on her... So she never found out that I liked her.

    If you're referring to sexual attraction, I'm going to be pathetic and say it was a video game character, namely Rayne from Bloodrayne. I'm also pretty sure that she's responsible for my overwhelming attraction to redheads.

    When I was about 9, I had a massive crush on a newsreader. I watched the news just for her, but couldn't really understand what I was feeling.

    I was quite repressed, but at 14 the shit really hit the fan with a female classmate with whom I shared the bed on a school trip. We were friends and had quite a few laughs (also I appreciated her on a personal level), but even if I tried to resist those feelings, they just overwhelmed me. She wasn't even your standard beauty, but she could be sexy as hell.

    I can't remember who I was first attracted to specifically.. but I do remember having a bit of a crush on this boy in class when I was 11.. and I had a dream where I kissed him. It was pretty weird at the time.

    I remember back in 2nd grade, when I was around 8 or so there was this new girl in class. She was pretty short and had blonde hair, that's about all I can remember about her appearance back then, but she hasn't changed much. I last saw her back in 6th grade before I went to homeschooling and she moved. She barely knew me, but I still found her pretty damn cute.

    I can't pinpint which is first, but this is the earliest memory i cam remember...(right now)

    The principal at my old,old,old,old school in saudi arabia when I was in grade 1. ( i've to 5 schools, there's another one, but it's not relevant right now, incase youre counting.) The older girls in 4th grade, including my sister, always used to play a game in which they dared each other to touch his hand, during recess. I asked to play once, and they let me. I did it. And he kept holding my hand throughout the whole recess and asking me questions like " what's your favourite subject? What's your favourite toy? And such. He gave me 2 riyals to buy something for lunch the next day, I remember. My older sisters friends thought I was cool for the rest of the year!
