Have you ever felt that your first crush was the one you…
“Have you ever felt that your first crush was the one you should be with for the rest of your life? Back when I was in school, I had the biggest crush on this girl and I always think about her. There were a few times when I later ran into her at a store. When that happened, I started thinking that it was fate that made it happen to bring us together like that and I never worked up the nerve to ask her out because every time I saw her, I froze up. I'm sure it's too late now because it's been so many years when I last saw her. I found out that one of my cousins went to school with her in high school and he said that she was engaged. When he told me, I felt hurt and depressed. Now, I don't know if I should give up on love. I'm 35 years old and maybe it is too late for me to ever find love”
