You're correct but when I was foolish enough to reveal this on a forum like this on my football team's website, the names being chucked at me indicated the player concerned probably earned about 5 bob a week. And how pleased I am you never suggested he played for Corinthians or Blackburn Olympic or someone like that!

To those who consider making contact with an old flame/friend via social networking let me tell you this cautionary tale.
'A' was a very attractive girl who I adored and was very friendly with in the fourth year as secondary school. She suddenly disappeared in the fifth year and just as I was going to send her a get well card I discovered that she was pregnant - not to me I hasten to add but to a fellow pupil. Apparently it was the legendary single dalliance and the 5hit his the fan and 'A' disappeared from my life. I would hear tales about her from friends of friends over the next decade or so and then total silence until she contacted me via Friends Reunited.
I made five mistakes:
Remedial action included:
I wonder about the whereabouts of my first true love Marlene Mangle but, after crashing and burning with 'A' , I'm quite happy to be permanently curious.

I made five mistakes:
- I gave her my email address
- I gave her my mobile number
- I made lots of sympathetic noises when she told me about her failing marriage
- I agreed to meet her
- I met her
Remedial action included:
- Changing my email addresses - she tracked down two others
- Changing my mobile phone number
- Not responding to any of her emails to my old email addresses
- Not responding to any messages on Friends Reunited
- Getting her so drunk that she had to be carried to her room and decanted into it when we met up.
- Blocking her subsequent attempts to contact me via Facebook
- Briefing friends to deny knowledge of my existence/whereabouts

I met my first girlfriend when I was 23, we became inseparable even though I'd been hanging out at her house (shared uni house) trying to get with one of her housemates.
we married two years later, be our 2nd wedding anniversary next month

My first BF, at 14, was called Martin and was the goalie for the school footie team.
Did you score, Cookie
Oh yes.
Crap goalie then?
Terrible with his hands.

One for the goalie, two for Annette. Rich will score an own goal when I print this and take it to our next meet up!
I 'loved' Marion Edwards. So much so that I untangled a Robin Hood puppet from my toy cupboard and gave it to her after a mutual friend brought round a box of ten lollipops with faces, that she had got me for Christmas. (1/9d in A. V. Apps - our local newsagent)
It's the only thing I gave her.
As an adult (when? is the cry...
) I really really really liked a girl at Chelsea School of Art with mysterious eyes. (in fact, her whole effing alphabet was mysterious - in 1974 etc). I'm not sure whether I am butterfly or bee. Which does the most good? Jane Hord, from No: ** Courthope Road, Greenford was the nicest person I didn't get to know. 
A good memory thread, Rich

Living on RAF bases in the early 70s, no-one hung round for long so i had 'dalliances' with girls. Everyone seemed to, there was no use having proper relationships. Still, good fun was had by all.
First proper girlfriend was a girl from Stafford and i was living in Notts. She was georgeous (or so it seemed to me) but long distance relationships are doomed really.

Edited to add there's no better feeling of unconditional love than when you have kids.
Awwww what a lovely statement, I share the sentiment with mine

Fiona D. Tallish, slim, pretty face, and shiny black bobbed hair. We were in the school play together, Sheila Birling and Gerald Croft in "An Inspector Calls", one thing led to another and we were "at it" by the third rehearsal.

I never had a girlfriend as a very young boy (pre-pubescent), I always had boyfriends and used to beat the girls up!
Very very strange, given that I am heterosexual and don't find other men even remotely attractive!
I had a proper girlfriend when I was a teenager, Vicky W. her name was, and when I discovered she had "ladybits", my fascination with other boys went straight out of the window!

First boyf was called John, when I was 13 or 14. This was mid 1980's so he was a vision of pale lemon / pale blue / pale pink Miami vice style clothes. Complete with sleeves pushed up to the elbows. Very skinny,with spiky hair and sooooo boring. cringeworthy ! We were a couple for 3 years. Bumped into him a few years ago and HE STILL HAD THE SAME CRAPPY HAIRSTYLE. I scuttled out of the way and spent the rest of the night having the p**s took out of me by my mates as I made the silly mistake of telling them who he was. What was I thinking lol

Great thread! I feel all warm and fluffy.
The first boy I kissed was the son of my grandma's next door neighbour. I think I was 5 and he was 6 (forward young lady that I was!)
My first crush was on a boy I sat next to in primary school - in the days of school milk in the break, he used to give me his digestive biscuit, while I let him drink the cream off my milk as a swap. (the double entendre capacity is burgeoning)
My first boyfriend I met at school, in the year above me, we went out togther from fifth year, he went to university and I followed the year after but we soon broke up, the attractions of so many others were too great (for both of us)
We met up on Friends Reunited a few years ago, and email sporadically, just the odd joke and exchange about our football teams, it is nice to be in touch again, and I feel v.grown up, there's no agenda - he's a super hot shot in business now, with a wife and child, and I have never been happier with all I have.
It's funny, but when I look back on the 18year old I was, leaving home to study, I would never have imagined for myself the life I have now - if I had thought 'where will I be in 20 years time' - well, that's a whole new thread!
