These days, it seems that kids are "dating" or "going together", before they even know what responsibilities come along with relationships of that sort. How old were you when you remember the"love bug" biting you? When you were past teasing the opposite sex because you liked them, but actually wanted to sit together on the bus and tell each other things that were never on your radar screen before? You actually liked someone and demonstrated it in a mature fashion. For me, I was too busy babysitting and rollerskating to be that way about boys early on.
But about 16 I started to see them in a "different" way. Not all boys, but a select few. How about you? Do you remember the age "the love bug really bit you"?
