Day 2-my first love was a close friend. We never dated, but it was the first time I felt that certain way for anyone. I was in the 8th grade at the time, and my friend had been teasing me about him liking me or me liking him. But I assured her that we were just friends, that's what I had told him I wanted to be anyway. He had asked me out the previous year and I friend zoned him. Probably a good thing since we were like 12. But of course I started feeling differently towards him once he was off dating other girls. And I couldn't help but to feel like every time he went through another breakup that I would be better than that for him. I really enjoyed spending time with him, thought he was just the funniest, thought he said all the right things, and so I just tried to get along with him. Talking to him would make my entire day, and I mean it still does now but there are no romantic feelings left. Eventually the feelings faded away. We still talk even though, and I probably love him more now as a friend than I did as a crush.
