Is it normal for me to like the same girl i did in kindergarten?

Ok, so I've read a lot of these stories and I have seen a fair many that were obviously fake. I am telling you now that this is not one of those. This is practically a life story.

So in kindergarten I had a crush on a girl who to me was the most beautiful in the world. You would think it would just be a phase, but it didn't stop. Then in Februrary of 2002, in the second grade, I was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. I spent 3 and 1/2 year is chemo therapy and had numerous near death experiences. Every night when I went to bed I didn't know if I was going to wake up in the morning.

I've now been in remission for about 6 years and am about to turn 18. The thing is that I am still completely obsessed with the same girl that I had a crush on in kindergarten. And its not like it just jumped all that time. No, I've felt like I'm madly in love with her for most of my life.

Is it normal for me to like the same girl after all this time? I feel like I would give up my life for her. I feel like I am physically attached to her in some strange way. Sometimes I feel like I have attachment issues or something like a traumatic experience making stronger attachments while your still alive or something like that.

I know that this has been long, but I felt like it needed the back story and it is tearing me apart.

So, again is this normal?

    Tell her how you feel, most importantly! Other wise you have NO CHANCE if she doesn't know! Good luck, buddy, after all these years you deserve her!

    thats so sweet...dose she know you like her? if someone told me they were in love with me for that long even if i didn't like them do you know how happy it would make me? no im not desperate its just when you like someone for that long its obviously not lust...hormones wouldn't have come into play for quite a while...so if you should defiantly tell her how you feel...if she says yes, well yay! if no...chances are you at least made her feel warm n fuzzy and as long as the one you love is happy thats a good thing right?

    I just don't know if it's real. I'm not really into the whole switching girlfriends all though high school route. I want to love and cherish one single woman cuz that's all I want in life. My main problem is getting up the courage to ask her out and break off the whole "best friends" thing like you see in just about every TV series.

    What's wrong with liking someone your entire life?

  • That's actually really awesome, that means your a good guy rather then a lot of assholes who just skip from one girl to another because they leave her as soon as they get laid, I say that you should keep trying for her and tell her how you feel if youhavent already, ihad the same situation from pre school to 4th grade, I wish I could still talk to her hut I lost contact with her a ong time ago, we moved 5 hours away from my old town and I'm on 15 so it's not like I can do anything about it.
