s/o answering phone at work

[LoveTrains]

All the talk of how its weird at first to answer your phone with "first name last name" reminds me of my high school sweetheart. He used to answer the phone that way. He was adorably geeky and an only child. 

What were your high school sweethearts like? Do you still keep in touch?

I actually still keep in touch with mine, we are facebook friends and I know his wife. We still keep in touch with a bunch of our common friends and I normally see him about once a year, around the holidays when we both go home for a visit. He and his wife actually came up to town for my 30th birthday party.

I still text with my ex every once in awhile. Usually birthdays, engagement congrats, things like that.

We will see each other for the first time in 7 years later this year at a wedding.

I don't keep in touch with any of my exes

[definitelyO]

My first HS boyfriend is a friend on FB. He still seems to be nice and is married, ultra-Christian, 4 home-schooled daughters.

another HS boyfriend I'm FB friends with his mom.... but no communication with him in almost 20 years.

a few other ex-boyfriends I hear stuff about here and there (one is a friend's brother) but don't really keep in touch.

I was too awkward for a HS sweetheart.  :?

I married mine.

[flatlan]

I dated a guy all through hs. When we were together he was kind of a slacker but his heart was always in the right place. I haven't seen him in probably 10 years but keep in sort of contact with him on FB. He has a daughter with a very long term girlfriend. His daughter is adorable and has the same (not common) name as my sister.

I graduated in a class of 4 girls. No HS bf for me. I keep in touch with a couple of guys I've dated.

My first HS boyfriend just came over on Sunday. He's an electrician and we needed some things done. He charged us very little, we insisted on paying more. He met our daughter for the first time and brought her a little toy. We're also FB friends. All in all it's a perfectly pleasant relationship.

[mbcdefg]

I only went on one bad date in high school and I said I wasn't interested. I have no idea what happened to him after that.

I went to an all-girls high school and really didn't know any guys ... some classmates set me up with this guy because he worked at a supermarket with them. After the date I realized that they'd probably set it all up as a joke because I was super-awkward and he was just creepy.

Ditto.

And I don't know if I'd call my college boyfriends "sweethearts."  More like guys that I had slumber parties with for a couple months.  I was not particularly enamored with them.  I did kind of keep in touch with one of them for a while. At some point after we had parted ways, he discovered that all his studies and interest in the labor movement that had once made him a delightfully subversive and interesting 21 year old, also made him exceptionally qualified to become a lawyer for Wal-Mart.   We were doomed from the start!

No long-term boyfriend, but the guy I went to the senior prom with has always been a bit of a 'what if.' I remember him calling to ask what kind of friends were we, and I said to just stay friends; all I could think at the time was he was going to Buffalo and I was planning on NYC for college. But it could have been a fun summer. Last I knew, he ended up returning to the area (and I unexpectedly stayed). I randomly came across a hospital bill for him when I worked in insurance a/r about 10 years ago, and ran into him once in a bar about 8 yrs ago; also saw his sister from a distance at a local event a few months ago. I know he's now married, and works as an art teacher at a local high school; though things could have changed in the years since I last saw him.But I honestly feel that if we were meant to connect in this small town, we would have by now.

I am still friendly with the first real BF I had, which was the spring/summer when I graduated HS. We went to the same university and I actually slept with him again then, lol. But mostly we became good friends in university, and now we are FB friends. He called me fat the other day though (in a "harhar, I can say that now that you are pregnant" way) so he is definitely not a sweetheart.

I married mine! (Although we did break up for a few years during/after college, so we had a chance to date other people and realize they suck)

[hbomdiggity]

One called my parents a few years ago, like before I was married. My parents HATED him, but they agreed to take his number and pass it along (and not give him my #). I called him and let him know that I was glad he was doing well (got way into drugs, jail time etc) but that I had no interest in meeting up with him.

I ended up dating other HS boyfriend all through college and after. We kept in touch for awhile, even after I got married, but not so much after he got married.

Last week I had his baby

I had sex with mine LAST NIGHT. Lol.

Ha! After I hit "enter" on my response I thought to myself "I should have written I had sex with mine on Sunday!" lol

[glynn]

We stayed in touch through the years and hooked-up after I divorced my XH. He lived in FL and I in Tn, with kids so that did not workout. When I finally figured out I could not go there and he was not willing to come here, we both found other people. He now lives in TN a few hours away and we have DDs the same age. He came to a party at my house 4 years ago. We do not stay in touch now but if we saw each other I feel like we would speak if his DW was not around. I think she rules the house and he tries to not make waves. I have another that I meet before DH that we talk sometimes be he was a long time after HS.

My HS boyfriend and I stayed together too long (until the beginning of sophomore year in college), and things ended badly. I should've ended it sooner, and it was ugly. I avoid contact.

Most college boyfriends I'm still friends with, see at mutual friends' weddings, etc.   It's been long enough that I forget most of the bad and it's mostly like any other college friend that I only stayed in loose touch with.  Sort of nice to see for old times' sake.

My last boyfriend, who I broke up with when I met Calvin, avoids/unfriended me, etc., but oh well.

[bunnysmom]

Add me to the group that married them!
