Do You Ever Wonder What Happened To…

All those boys you “dated” when you were younger??

JAY Then: My first ever real boyfriend. He was older and could drive. Now: He got married this summer, lives in rural Pennsylvania and is a firefighter.

MK Then: A counselor with me at summer camp. A complete stoner and my ultimate “bad boy,” yet so smart and intriguing and so thoughtful when he really tried. Our drama-filled “relationship” lasted 4 on and off years and he is probably the most influential guy (in terms of relationships) in my life. Now: Finally a college graduate and now a hockey coach at a small college in New England. It looks like he finally got his life together. I haven’t seen him in forever (5 years) and I don’t want to because I know that even after all these years I still have unresolved feelings for him. I can’t go down that road again.

T.BAIRD Then: A tall, lanky senior who I had never once spoken to but I decided would be my next boyfriend. In just a few weeks, he was! He was super sweet and super nice, but he headed off to college and I moved to Virginia. Now: Just out of law school. He has talked about moving out to Seattle or Portland but I think it is just that, talk. I run into him occasionally when we are both home for the holidays.

(VIRGINIA) CHRIS Then: My first “love.” I broke his heart when I left for college and my family moved back to NY at the same time. We’ve only seen each other twice since then. Now: Living in DC and working long hours on some top secret government project. That is about all, he really doesn’t seem to do anything.

(HOTT BODY) CHRIS Then: Initially attracted to solely his body, I soon learned that the quiet guy in all my classes was lots of fun and didn’t shut up once he got to know you. And did I mention he was hott? Breaking up and then still having every class together, led me to the conclusion that I will never date anyone I study/work with again. Now: He married a few months ago, lives in the suburbs and still drinks beer and watches sports regularly with his best friend from college (who is married to his wife’s best friend). He is not quite as hott now that he has a beer belly.

CONCLUSION (Then) They were all good while they lasted but, (Now) with exception to maybe T.Baird, the “grown-up k” would never date them now.

Thanks to mutual friends, out of the blue emails, and the miracle of Google for providing the information for this post.
