Yes I did. We dated throughout HS, and it was really nice to have someone like that in my life. 3 years in, I was just so different, and I had a hard time relating to him anymore, though I really did care about him. Plus, he was older and had changed too. We broke up on our 4 year anniversary, and we were both okay with it. It wasn't sad, but it was coming. It just had no way of working out, and we had changed so much that the people we fell in love with or whatever happened, just didn't exist anymore. I still like him tremendously as a person, and did on the day we broke up in 2006.

He was my neighbor, and I thought he was intensely hot at the time. I kissed him for the first time when I was 12, haha, and we started dating when I was 14. Typical sports player/cheerleader dynamic...but he was very different from other guys, extremely nice, and treated people respectfully. He was pretty funny, and we had a lot of great conversations. He helped me become who I am today. I am really grateful for him, and I wouldn't have chosen another person to deal with the trials and tribulations of those years with.

I'm surprised by how many people didn't really have one. I didn't either but I always felt like the only one who never really latched on to that someone.

i had my first real boyfriend for a year as a sophmore, and then another guy as a senior...both meant a lot to me at the time and i recall our relationships but i don't think i'd consider them a highschool sweetheart

No, I didn't date anyone in high school. I'm dating someone else's high school sweetheart now.

Yes and i married him We have been together since i was 17 and he was 18 we are now 32 and 33.

Sure did. We started dating when I was 15 and he was 16. We are now 21 and 22 and are very happily married and looking forward to growing old together

I sure did. Like Chrstne, I dated him throughout my high school years. Unfortunately, we broke-up during college, but I still valued that chapter in my life.

Our relationship was similar to the one on the show "The Wonder Years." He was my Kevin Arnold, and I was his Winnie Cooper. It was special.

Yup. I did too. Five an a half years with him. I learned a lot about myself and about relationships with him. I'll always be really grateful for him for such an important bit of learning in my formative years.

Heck yeah! I even married him I liked him so much... still great today!

I really don't like the whole "high-school sweetheart" thing. The idea makes it seem like if you date someone in high school, that relationship is somehow more special than all others. I did date someone in high school and he was my very first boyfriend... but even still, I think other boyfriends have been way more memorable.

And silly as it is, we're still together! It's really just incredible that we met and were perfect in every, single way. I tried to dip my toes back in the pool, but I've never been happy with anyone else.

Yes, I did. It was for a little over 2 years, but once we were in college things just didn't work out. We both wanted to see what else was out there - and I'm glad because if we hadn't broken up I wouldn't have met the love of my life!!

I'm not sure I'd consider him my high school sweetheart, since we never dated for that long... We met in 10th grade, started dating in 11th grade, broke up after 4 months and started dating again about a year later. And we broke up again before going to college. Although it wasn't what you'd consider a serious relationship, we had a lot of fun together and I learned a lot from it.

yes - i actually dated two guys in high school, the second one i finally married last may after 10 years together...we even made it through long-distance college years...when i think back on all we've been through, it's crazy...we learned we could be independent, yet still rely on each other for support...love him

Nope. So I guess I'm a real outsider on this one I can't give you a story about my HS sweetheart.

No, I had loves of the moment. : )

But, I mellowed out and got myself a college sweetheart. We're married after fifteen years together. Whoo-hoo for monogamy!

Not so much, but I think I did have that skirt.

Yep. Dated between junior and senior summer and it went through most of college. Glad I experienced that, but even happier it has ended. Now I can move on and date someone more mature.

No, though I spent alot of time wishing I had.

I'm currently with my high school sweetheart. We got together our senior year, and we've now been together going on 3 years. Hopefully many more to come.

Oh, I'm all oohy gooy about it but yes I did and we got married. We were together for 3 years, he being two years older than me, so basically the whole high school time. He joined the military and we lasted for a couple years with that until we got married when I was 19. 3 years later we're fantastic, and haven't ever been happier. I get all gushy and my face gets that dreamy look when I talk about the "high school sweetheart" part of our relationship because I'm a romantic comedy type of girl.

damn that chicks thighs are thin!!

I have been with my wonderful boyfriend since the eleventh grade,but we were besties before that. It has been six years now, and I can only see myself with him forever.I believe that if our love has changed its only become stronger. Hes my one person that there is complete comfortable silence with, and that one person that makes you wish life was just longer than it is so that you can have more and more time with them.

Nope - I was that awkward nerdy girl who was pretty but somehow all the guys were intimidated by me. I never even got asked out on a date until I was 19 and out of highschool. Never went to a school dance, had a kiss, or a date in highschool.

Made up for it in college.

Nope. I had a college sweetheart but I don't think any of my high school relationships lasted past 2 months. I learned a lot about dating then.

Not really.. going to an all girls school, we didn't really get much opportunity to properly get to know many boys of the same age... a shame really!

Of course! We dated our junior and senior years.

I had boyfriends in high school but they weren't high-school sweethearts. I never dated any of them consistently for longer than a month and never went to prom with them so like definitely not high school sweetheart status.

yeah I had one my junior year looking back I was so young and nieve...but I was in love then and we ended so childishly after 9 months it left me confused and then its like he dissapeared. He was never around his senior year. I still think about seeing him again to this day and what it would be like. Maybe my 10 year reunion? Although I have a boyfriend...just curiousity....

yepppp! been dating for 6 years since I was 15. Waiting til I graduate to get engaged

Yes. And met back up with him 20 years after we broke up. yeah facebook?!?! And now it's like.. like we wasted 20 years apart. But that time allowe dus to come back together. We shall see where it goes the second time around, but the love is there.. always was. He may be the most special person in my life ever.... sure seems that way.

Absolutely. Dated all through High school. We ended up bumping into each other again 20 years later. The funny thing is, even though time has taken its toll on us, we still can see the teenagers in each other and it seems as though the attraction is still there, been there all along I guess. We went out and had lunch together and it was so relaxing and enjoyable and I walked away feeling like that same teenager from 21 years ago.

Oh, yes. We were so in love that we couldn't see anything else. He was not my first boyfriend. He was my first love, and I was his. We dated for a year and broke up in college. Worst mistake I ever made. Now, after 30+ years, we have reconnected and are again inseparable. It seems like those years, while important parts of our lives, do not matter between us. True love is an amazing thing.
