First Loves

My first girlfriend in High School was the stuff guys only dream about - she was gorgeous, built like the proverbial.., AND aggressively pursued me.

This is not easy, but I was a geek.  I had no idea how to deal with a beautiful, energetic, forthright, free-spirited girl.  There is not a SINGLE thing in those attributes that could even remotely be applied to me.  I shyly held hands, visited the parents, went to parties and such, but was simply too stupid to understand what was next to me.

I'm 63. I still remember this.  And regret that maybe she really just wanted a shoulder to lean on, cry on, kiss.
