Is it normal for a 5 year old boy to have a crush on a girl his own age?

@BloviatingBuffoon Wow!

@Gingerbreadspice I had a crush on a girl named Jaylynn, and Britney when I was five. Wrote her a love letter and everything. Moved before I could give it to them. My mom says I cried all the way to IL, but I don’t remember crying. I remember trying to be tough for my mom, thinking that I didn’t want to move and it must be sad for her to as well, and probably to see me cry. I was also mad, and didn’t want to tell her about the love letter.

@AccursedAlexander3 These things happen to us all.

@smiler2012 She calls him her "Daddy Mack". lol

@WendyLopez43 Someone let her at the Princess Diaries to early lol

@Longpatrol Calls him her "Daddy Mack". lol

[quote]I thought it was mostly the girls who crushed early, because of maturing faster.[/quote]

1) We're talking about very prepubescent kids. In what way are very little girls "more mature" than very little boys?

2) A lot of teen girls say this, but seem to confuse sexual maturity (ability to make a baby) with actual maturity.

3) Puberty has been turning on earlier in girls because of artificial chemicals which mimic estrogen...so girls get exposed to chemicals which start their sexual maturation earlier. I suspect that this same external influence might delay the onset of male sexual maturity by a small-yet-measurable amount.

@ExtremeNext Yes.

@ExtremeNext lol you stole my next question

@ExtremeNext I was kidding lol, but I think the girl must watch more TV and imitate what adults do.

@cecile Said she was pretty as an angel.

@WendyLopez43 i bet she is too, now thats what you call young love

@cecile she blew him a kiss when he was ring bearer for a wedding, then they danced.

@Hanginginthere I thought cooties were a thing at that age.
