I fell in love with a boy in 4th grade. He and I remained friends until we were 16 and then we dated for 2 years. I think by 4th grade, when you meet someone special, you'd have the awareness to know.

He is happily married now and while it's been a long time since I had any romantic feelings for him, I still think of him as someone who has a really positive influence on my life. I do believe these "early" relationships make imprints that can last a life time.
