I'm afraid all my crushes went un-rescinded...

Re: School crushes

I know of what you are speaking, Marc. My confidence seemed to evaporate when I tried to think of some way to see them outside school. Neither lived in the same direction as I did, so no way of walking to and from school with them, and I think there was also a fear of rejection that further hindered me. Now, I can think of a few ways I could have seen One or other outside schooltime, but back then even asking if one or other wanted to see the new James Bond film or whatever seemed like as difficult as running a marathon.

Re: School crushes

Staffslad, my school days were certainly not the best time of my life. The comprehensive was shear hell. I lost a lot of my confidence during that time. If the school was a better place, things may have been different. I had no confidence in myself to ask Michelle out. I've often wondered why I didn't. I would talk to her a lot in school. Sadly, by the time the final days of school came, most were not turning up. Michelle, like myself, was not keen on that school. If we were there on the last day......I now wonder......if......

Re: School crushes

Marc, I know what you mean about those "ifs." I wish I had had more confidence at school and asked one or other of them out. Only no-one among the boys in my class seemed to have enough confidence to ask girls for a date, so my only consolation is that it wasn't just me.

I did see and hear of the brunette a few times in the decade or so after leaving school, but never in a situation where I could engage her in conversation. But the blonde, no, never saw her again...hope she has had a good life--she was so nice.

Re: School crushes

Although I've mentioned some teachers I had a crush on in my previous posts, a couple of girls I had a crush on in comprehensive:-

Michelle Williams from Pontygwaith. She really was my number one crush. I really wish I had asked her out..... I bumped into her a couple of times after we had left school. Unfortunately, time had moved on and she was with somebody. I seen her a couple of years ago, but did not realise it was her until later, by that time she had disappeared into the crowd.

Mamta Naryan from Porth. I used to wait for her after school, then walk so far home with her. Seen her once after I left school.

Hayley Llewellyn from Trealaw. For some unknown reason I had a crush on her. Don't know why, has I never really bothered with her.

Time has long, long since moved on. Occasionally, just occasionally, I often wonder what if......

Re: School crushes

In the last 2 years of secondary school I had a crush on a couple of girls in my class. One was a slim, extremely pretty brunette with long, curly hair. I would often sit by her in the school library and talk to her at lunchtimes. She was really nice and I liked her so much. I don't think she had a boyfriend when she was at school, and I was too bashful to ask her out. The other girl had shortish blonde hair. She wasn't perhaps quite as good-looking as the brunette, but she had such a beautiful smile that lit up her entire face. She was fairly quiet and didn't seem to have too many close friends, though she was friendly with everyone. I think she was a Jehovah's Witness or some other denomination, as she never had to attend morning assembly. I helped her with coursework occasionally. Oh, that smile she would flash when I helped her. I really liked her as well. Again, she didn't have a boyfriend at school, and again I was too bashful to ask her for a date. After leaving school I never saw her again. I have often wondered what became of her.

As for teachers, I had a crush on our RE teacher. I suppose she would have been around 27. At O-Level I had to take RE. Not because of my liking for the subject, but due to having a choice between that and Environmental Science--which I disliked intensely. The good thing was that she was my project tutor for the course and I got to sit by her once a week. She was pretty and always wore a light perfume and I thought she was so elegant and sophisticated. She was nice and smiled a lot. I will always remember her at the ceremony to present us with our O-Level certificates. We had already left school several months, so I hadn't seen her for a while. She came up to me and shook my hand and congratulated me, and I will never forget how warm her hand was.

Re: School crushes

For me it was my English Teacher

The way I saw it was she was a female teacher whereas I was a male pupil. Obviously the same legally as male teacher/female pupil but a lad in my position is hardly going to cry rape

School crushes

I work with Autistic teenagers in a high school .. Anyways a while back we had a young French woman ( 22 ) start working - teaching French ( oddly enough lol ) . She was a lovely dark haired beauty with lovely legs ..more often than not they were on display as she wore decidedly short skirts ..

Anyways one break she burst into the staff room ... wearing a VERY short skirt and asked enthusiastically .... " what is PUTTING ME OFF ? " .. ... " PUTTING ME OFF - what does it mean ?
Turns out that she'd been teaching her year 10's class perched on a desk , legs folded sideways and one of the lads had blurted out " miss , you're putting me off !

We all laughed !

Re: School crushes

[QUOTE=Zincubus;198824]I had a crush at secondary school on my English teacher who was a stunning , mini skirted blonde ..who looked remarkably like Alexandra Bastedo ( The Champions ) !
She used to sit provocatively on the edge of her desk as she read poetry .. Swoon .

One of our teachers would actually sit on her desk. Her legs were has if they were folded up next to her. I never had a crush on her, but she was very pretty. One boy in the class admitted he was in love with her (she definitely had other thoughts!). He used to sit at the very front desk in the corner of the classroom. She used to ask him if he could see the blackboard clearly. Other pupils had said it was awkward. He later admitted why he constantly sat there, although not to her. When she sat on the desk, on two occasions he had seen her knickers.

Re: School crushes

I really fancied/had a crush on my form teacher in my first year oh secondary school.

Think she was only in her mid twenties,slim with light brown hair.

I think it was one of her first teaching jobs..

Anyways she just suddenly disappeared out of our lives and the rumour was she got caught having sex with a history teacher in the history stockroom .... So disappointing !!!
To add insult to injury .... Our replacement english teacher was a slimy , lecherous , girl fancying bar -steward.

Re: School crushes

I had a crush on the teacher in the last year of the junior school, Miss Billington. I thought about her for ages after I left junior school. I was in her first class after she qualified has a teacher. Never knew what become of her. Last seen in July 1978.

Re: School crushes

There was also an un-named (as far as I knew- in that I didn't know her name) who I fancied like crazy in Y9 when she was in the Lower 6th - she had the most amazingly 80s-90s permed hair I have ever seen - that'd catch any 13/14 year old lad's eye! no doubts!!
