Had a classmate in elementary school who had a crush on me that I tried to reciprocate. She was Hindu, and she was extremely kind and honestly just a blast being around.
I hung out with her at her place after she invited me over since we lived in the same apartment complex, we spent some time with her family, and we started sharing lunch together.
We stopped since she transferred schools, and she eventually moved after the fact.
David Dixon's Ford Prefect (bbc HHGTTG). Around the same time i also saw the filmclip to Kate Bush's Babooshka and before i even had the vocabulary or understanding of it, i realised i was bisexual
Oh, Compassionate Buddha yes, Kate Bush! I came to her late, but definitely fell in love with her! (My realization I was bi/pan came with Joan Jett's first appearance on German television. I'm pretty sure she made a million German women realize they were lesbian or bi that night...)
Her name was Amy and she lived up the street from me. I thought she was so cool and always felt really lucky that she called me her friend. I didn’t realize I crushed on her until much later in life tbh haha
I had a really good friend in middle school who told me they had a crush on someone else, and I realized I had feelings when I felt sad about that. We were both music nerds and pretty inseparable at school. During summer vacation, we'd have these slumber parties where we played Pokemon and Maplestory together. We both realized we were bi around the same time, so it was nice to have another person to confide in about that, but we were only ever friends, and that was okay as I got over my crush pretty quick after realizing it wasn't reciprocated.
We eventually fell out of touch after high school and I found out a decade later she transitioned too, which wasn't at all surprising. Sometimes I wonder if I'm actually bi, because the only "boy" who isn't a fictional character I ever had romantic feelings for was a girl the entire time lol. But I still remember those days and hope life's treating her okay.

Famous, earliest I can remember is Kate Winslet in that emerald green dress at the Oscars in 1998.

I saw Diane Lane in "A Little Romance" way back when and fell in love. Nothing has changed. She is still lovely.
