My son is almost 9 and completely oblivious still to girls (while his almost 6-year-old brother is on his 3rd fiancee), so this is somewhat on my mind. I wonder how the crushes will start and who he'll like. Will it be someone we've known forever or someone new?<br /><br />One of my early crushes was on a 5th grade classmate and my best friend liked him, too. He liked her better. Sigh. And this is how old I am: I had a crush on Fonzie!Vicki Tremperhttp://www.vbtremper.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804696485095159380.post-57260864187688947252012-03-08T16:56:27.895-06:002012-03-08T16:56:27.895-06:00Cute post Erica,

I can't believe after DOZENS of years I still remember her name. And you think you're old? What should I say? EKKKK! I won't even dignify the year. Let's just say it was way before 1986...<br /><br />I remember we had a outing at the beach and I pestered my parents for blue bathing suit because that was Phyllis' favorite color.Michael Di Gesuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17047267262428143113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804696485095159380.post-54512421111971385442012-03-08T14:57:10.000-06:002012-03-08T14:57:10.000-06:00That's so funny.

Granted that's a bit off topic, but when he starts to notice girls there will be a whole new set of issues to deal with.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12399082789777816445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804696485095159380.post-32380114327152644882012-03-08T08:53:28.383-06:002012-03-08T08:53:28.383-06:00Me and my two best friends used to chase around th...Me and my two best friends used to chase around these three boys when we were in 3rd grade. Each of us had one picked out that we were going to marry. They, of course, wanted nothing to do with us. <br /><br />But my first serious crush was when I was 13. He was 27 and managed the horse farm down the road from me. He had no idea how much I loved him - which was just as well, since it was like illegal and gross for him to show anything but a friendly interest in me. But he was so dreamy. I followed that poor man around like a puppy. On the upside, I got free riding lessons from him as long as I helped out by cleaning stalls. :happy sigh:B.E.

I don't read much YA, but I loved the romance in The Hunger Games. I'm currently reading The Wednesday Wars, and I'm loving that subtle romance there, too (eventhough these characters are seventh-graders).<br /><br />In my current WIP, I am adding a hint of romance, and my characters are seventh-graders. So, yes, I, too, think romance has its place in books for young readers.<br /><br />Good post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
