You guys have cute stories! I think mine was when I was 10. I used to play basketball with a whole group of kids at school and I liked one of them, not sure why. He did have a Venusaur TCG card and I knew his family/was close friends with his sister so it may just have been the idea of it all xD My friends found out and told people who told him and he was really shy so he avoided me after that haha.

Character crushes are fun. I liked Steven Stone when I first played Ruby. xD
