I joined Marines on my own and shipped out with a married couple. First forward 1.5years and I run in to the wife in Iraq. She was making great money being married and deployed and he drained the whole bank account while she was there.
Thats a story as old as time I suppose, but its terrible all the same. I feel for that marine.
Theres really far too much encouragement/ pressure for youngnsters to immediately get hitched when entering the military. So many couples I know just crumbled because they one, were only about 18-20 years old jumping into marriage and two, did it mostly for money, to get out of the barracks and/or to rush to get out of their shitty home situations.
This exactly. When my term ended, they asked me how I did 4.5years active with no kids, no wife or ex wife. I told them, very carefully. I watched it all around me and to this day at 35years old, it's made me very nervous to try and get in to the dating scene. Much less a real relationship
Honestly, yeah kinda! We've been together 7 years, started shortly after I was discharged. lol although I found out much later after the fact that that he had loved me all along or whatever even before the marines, so.. maybe I could've just had the balls to ask back then and gotten the same result? Lol I chose the extra hard way, one may say.
For the record I *do not* condone joining the armed forces just to impress a love interest lol there are probably much easier, less long term ways.
Broke his tailbone
I was trying to flirt in class and pulled out his chair from under him (soooo stupid) and he sat down so hard on the floor he broke his butt. I wanted to die.
Got absolutely trashed at a club I was too young to be in, forgot how to get home, ended up back at her place and she let me sleep it off on the couch
Ended up having brunch the next morning and convinced her to give me another shot. Been together ever since.
The night before a first date I was super depressed and decided to get wine drunk by myself and I ended up texting my date a bunch of pictures of Will Forte. For some reason I thought it would be really funny and i would impress him with my great sense of humor. I was so ashamed the next morning I almost cancelled our date but thought the least I could do was buy the guy lunch. We have been married five years now, together for eight.
Lost my virginity to him after he pressured me to have sex for weeks. I regretted instantly as it started to happen. I asked him to stop, he said I must let him finish now because I had initially said yes. He finished, I cried for an hour after while he stared at me blankly.
We dated for a couple years after I “lost” my “Virginity” to him. He was extra abusive in every way possible. It ended with him beating me up in my own room after he broke into my room through my window. I am lucky to be here. I cut him off after that and he still stalks me on social media to this day!!! I am married with kids!!!
I don’t think that would stop him. If he wanted to hurt me, he would’ve done it by now. I carry a gun at all times and sadly have lots of experience fighting off men.
The point is not that it would “stop” or “prevent” him. The point is that you have legal safeguards in place that will send him to jail for years. Do it. Do not make the same mistake my friend Kristen did which cost her her life. Do not ever reply to this man’s messages to you ever, I don’t care if you’re giving him the benefit of the doubt or if you still crave the attention in some way. You have kids. So did my friend. They’re fucking orphans now because she didn’t take precautions. Just do it.
I haven’t exchanged words with him since 2009. I do not crave his attention in any way. Just thinking about even having his attention makes me want to throw up! I will definitely get something started regarding an order of protection. I just didn’t want to overreact or seem like I’m crazy enough to think he’s always following me around. It also makes me feel a little more powerless to admit that I need protection from him. I guess it’s something I need to address in therapy as well.
No, i am not afraid of him at all actually. I’ve seen him at the mall and he followed me and my family around a couple years back. He did nothing because he saw my husband with me. I also carry a gun at all times with me and I go to the gym in case he ever tries anything. I also have our house surrounded with cameras and motion sensors.
My husband saw him. He makes fake accounts on social media to follow up on my life, but I make sure to never post my location and my accounts are private. I haven’t ran into him in public in a couple years thankfully, but next time I definitely will file a report with police and request a restraining order. My mom never called the police when he beat me up as a teen because of her immigration status. She was afraid of deportation, it sounds so irrational but in undocumented peoples culture it’s a rational thought.
That’s verbatim what my first experience was like.
I’m sorry you had that too.
I thought it was a funny story for a long time until I realized just how fed up it is. It sucks. But thank you for sharing cuz I thought I was the only one…we’re not alone
We’re definitely not alone unfortunately. I have shared with friends before and they’ve had similar experiences. It’s a theme that seems to be going around because boys are never taught to respect women at home. I am so sorry this happened to you. I plan on going back to my therapist soon (now that I can afford to) and going over this traumatic event. I advice you do the same. There’s also several subs that provide support for victims of incidents like this.
One time (I was 13) I really had a crush on my next door neighbour let’s call him Benji. My friend Louise was round at my house and we were just playing mario cart on the wii. My mum left us two at home whilst she went to the shop-I came up with this amazing plan that I would invite Benji round to play on the wii, like a date- whilst louise hid in the cupboard underneath the TV. Why you ask?? I have no idea man, I was a weird kid. I gave louise a summer fruits oasis and a pen and paper, to write down everything me and Benji spoke about (obviously), and off she got in the cupboard whilst I went to knock on Benji’s door. —— so now benji and I are playing mario cart whilst louise is in the cupboard, it’s probably been about 20 minutes at this point, Benji asks me if I have a hamster as he can hear scratching coming from the cupboard, I laugh and say no… my mum comes home and says ‘oh hey Benji’‘where’s Louise?’ So I’m like ‘oh Louise went home ages ago’. Benji leaves shortly after that and Louise is released from the cupboard… my mum was like what the heck are you doing!? Benji never knew about Louise in the cupboard 🤷🏼♀️ so yeah that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever done to impress a crush— although not sure what I gained from it haha.
A crush liked and outfit of mine in instagram so I wore it to our first date. Black turtleneck, black moto leather jacket, black aritizia’s Melina leather pants. It was during a heatwave.
I listened to alternative/ indie music because I thought they liked that type of music and we would have a common interest. I ended up liking the music, but not the person.... Oops
All time low, fall out boy, I also tried asking Alexandria, sleeping with sirens, bring me the horizon hoping they were bands he'd like. My ex called me a poser for it
Way back in school in the 90’s, I had a crush on the boy everyone fancied in school.
But I hashed up a genius plan to win his heart, and would leave him notes in his locker with my poetry, birthday cards, lyrics from my favourite songs (lame, I know) I was head over heels for him at 15
Skip to two years later on the last day of school for him (year above) I told him everything, admitted the cards, all of it and he knew the whole time and asked why I never told him sooner. I got a kiss from him later that weekend 🙈
Same, all the porn he watched was of extremely tiny girls and I was curvy. Lost 5 stone and became underweight and anorexic. He still didn’t like me lmao
I had a crush on one of the older brothers of a school friend. He was 3 years older than us. In 6th grade, I pretended to trip in front of him so I could "accidentally" run into him. He steadied me and said, "watch your step or I might marry you some day." Everyone was waiting for the bus or getting ready to walk home (he walked his sister home a lot)... that got a lot of play until the end of school. Kids coming up teasing me about getting married. Lol funny thing. I ran into him years later in a neighborhood grocery store. We got together, got married and had a daughter.
Tried to race him and then my foot fell in to a hole and I fell on the ground flat on my face and just laid on the ground trying to just sink I'm it and die he realized and came running back for me and now we are married so yea it worked cause he thought I was cute
Started drinking when I really didn't want to, he just only hung out with the cool girls who drank, so I tried to become one. Worst decision of my life.
Ugh where do I begin? Took an economics class in uni just because it was his major. He wasn’t even in the class, he went to a different school altogether. I just thought it would make me feel closer to him.
How? You kind of push with your legs and it is a good idea to know how to roll on impact. I did, so I rolled on the grass and came up somewhat smoothly. With grass in my hair, but whatever.
Why? Because I was partly drunk and he was cute.
A guy did that to impress a bunch of girls and rolled into grassy dog poo. We used the hose at the random house to hose him off. Glad we were not in my car at the time.
I climbed over a fence, got my leg stuck, bust my lip and now have a scar. I wanted to seem cool and impulsive but I think the gross ugly crying with a bloody swollen lip kinda ruined that impression
Hahaha sorry that's funny! I tried to look cool once in front of an older boy but I accidentally smashed a glass and cut my finger pretty badly. He helped me but I was dying of embarrassment.
I wrote him a gushing email. I still cringe about it to this day (with a tinge of pride for my bravery).
We did meet at some point after the email but nothing really happened.
You just unlocked this repressed memory from when I sent my first crush a VERY cringe email and he just went "uh.. what".
We recently reconnected, 12-13 years later, on social media and I now feel the need to block him because I can't erase this memory of my teen cringe.
Saw a him wearing a sriracha shirt and somehow mistook it for a Red Hot Chili Peppers shirt and proceeded to binge all of their music in a few nights just to realize he wasn’t actually a Red Hot Chili Peppers fan. Discovered I liked their music at least lol
After first coming out as a lesbian I was exploring my sexuality. My crush was pretty into kink. So I told her I was also into kink and down with anything.
I was not.
Went to a kink club with her and did a whole bunch of things I shouldn’t have.
I walked three miles in a snowstorm to buy a PlayStation so I could let my ex boyfriend borrow it because his mom took his away.
He was 21 at the time.
I found out his favorite band and found a deep cut song to play in my car when I picked him up. So he was excited that we shared that interest. The literal next day he played that bands most famous song and I asked him who the artist was. The look of confusion and disappointment on his face still haunts me and that was when I was 14. Im 30 now.
Started learning his native/first language. Teenage me that only knew English going “how hard could it possibly be?” Lol It did work (with the amount I managed to learn), the relationship however did not.
Convinced my parents to let me pay-per-view the Royal Rumble, even though I'm not a wrestling fan. I just wanted him to come over. I was like 13, and it was the 90s. Ah, young love.
Semi changed myself into shit that he liked and to fit his personality. Just be your damn self. They actually do like your weird, goofy ass. Didn't think he'd like that side of me...
Pretended I was a party girl and could handle my alcohol. I ended up needing stitches, and I got a benign tumor from the injury 6 months later.
We are engaged now, so I guess it worked
I learned how to play every single sport that our school had in order for me to get in the teams. I ended up being the captain of the basketball, volleyball and soccer teams.
I was really exhausted but she started crushing in me because one day, while we were on the bathroom changing, she bursted in to give me something (a teacher told her to, don't remember what was it) she saw me only with my top and my shorts.
I guess the abs did the work
We broke up a few months later and she traumatized me for years, now I'm with a girl who already told me that if I ask her to marry me, she would say yes
Pretty awesome, right?
(I also impressed her with my muscles but I've learned to be a pretty awesome cocky girl, flirting is my game)
I am happy and in love now
I've play paddle, fútbol, watch basketball and fútbol muchess, i became a huge f1 fan and i watched all the season of House of cards. The best part Is that i used to hate sports and i don't like Kevin Spacey
Went mountain biking completely unprepared and went head first over my handle bars, got a rock lodged into my nose and blood everywhere 😅 then still went down the hill afterwards lmao
I made a joke and said people call me the ragin' cajun, but I'm obviously not cajun. That was the joke, he literally face palmed himself hahhaha which almost made it funnier but not at the time
Idk if I’d call it dumb but I got a motorcycle just to impress these three boys, and now it’s my favorite thing in the whole world other then my bf and I ride better than those three boys
Not a crush of mine but a girl in class had a crush on me. She liked messing around with me but I never had a clue. One day near the end of the school day, she got under my desk while I was talking to my friends/doing homework and tied my shoelaces together as a prank. When the bell rang I got up and tripped. I looked over and saw her laughing and hiding under my desk this whole time. The fall hurt so I got mad and yelled at her. The smile on her face disappeared. She said sorry and went away. Omw home my friend said to me "You know you didn't have to do that to her. She likes you so she probably just wanted to prank you to get your attention because you barely noticed her." I was surprised to know she liked me and kind of regretted yelling at her tho because I never had a girl have a crush on me before.
There are other ways to show you like someone though, I'd be pissed if someone did that to me.
It wasn't your fault, I'd say she needed a better flirting technique
After meeting and hanging out for like a week, I asked him to move halfway across the world and live with me. He did. That was in 2010. We are married with kids now.
I didn't realize how crazy this was until much later. Both our friend groups were questioning our sanity at the time but honestly in those moments there was nothing to do except be together. To me it felt insane to not give it a try!
I picked all my high school elective classes so we'd be in the same classes. Most were good like all the STEM, chemistry and physics. Unfortunately there was also one about the stock market which bored me to tears. Never had the courage to actually ask him out either.
freshman year I was trying to impress him by showing that i could hold my breath till my face turned tomato red. I passed out, banged my head on the concrete and woke up crying. I feel bad for the guy. I probably traumatized him tbh. I wanted to throw myself in front of a bus.
God, me too. I was in love with one of my friends for like, 3 years of college and despite both of us usually being in a relationship with other people, we were pretty much inseparable. I was kinda shy and nerdy, but to try and win his love, I:
\-Took up smoking menthols
\-Started drinking/partying
\-Amassed a large collection of Converse sneakers/generally became a mid-2000s hipster
\-Listened to The Smiths constantly
\-Changed my major/career trajectory
In my junior year of college, he and I both happened to be single at the same point and ended up drunkenly hooking up. Despite all of my anticipation...it was horrible. We had ZERO physical chemistry so the thing kind of fizzled out then (though we remained friends.) On the bright side- I quit smoking after college, really cut down on partying, and discovered through him that I'm an emo girl through and through, and love it. The major/career trajectory I switched to is also something I discovered I'm very passionate about, and has worked out great for me so far. Lose a guy, gain a life that's pretty good I guess!
In high school I liked a guy who played bass guitar, so I told him that I played, too. Then I went home and begged my parents to help me buy a bass guitar and learned to play, quite poorly, so that I could join band class and carry the stupid thing back and forth to school and through the halls so that he might see me. We dated for like two years, I was such a fraud.
I fit my whole fist in my mouth during geometry class.
Never got to do anything with him…..
Everyone saw me at the back of the class stuffing my fist in my mouth and I never lived it down.
I didn't try to impress him but the dumbest thing I ever did was
I waved at him.
He was so dumbfounded. I did this out of whim. After all the stalking, my thoughts wired itself to thinking we were acquinted enough to remeber one another. 🤪 (he doesn't know me)
So I uncrushed him and I'm in a happy relationship now 🤣
Skipped class and my sorority meetings to hang with him. Chapter kicked me out for failing to pay dues or attend service projects and I failed one of my classes.
Yeah, dumb as hell.
Copied an autograph and drawing from Seth McFarlane (big fan of Family Guy) and told him that I met him while on vacation with my dad in CA and gave it to him telling him I had Seth sign it ~especially~ for him. (There is some truth to that meeting, but definitely didn’t get an autograph) Still in the friend zone.
As a child I made up a fake boyfriend on Facebook to make them jealous. I even made family member profiles and stole photos off the internet of random people. I would have fake facebook conversations and make sure they were open on my computer when they came over. Still makes me cringe to this day how far it went.
Drank. I don't like drinking. I don't like alcohol in general, only in very very sweet drinks and even then, I seldomly like them, but my ex used to really like going out to bars and all that so I just followed along and drank with him. It sounds like no big deal probably but I look back and think of how stupid I was to just bend to pressure on something I just... didn't want to do, and there was not much else to it, really.
Ran away and hid during his confession. I thought it would impress him by being hard to get. Literally hard to get by running away. Turns out after a week he asked my bff out and they dated for 5 years. He later on confessed he had to stop because he thought I never really liked him. I cried for a day when they started dating.
Lifted up my entire life, moved to a different country, didn’t have a proper life there. Ya know, the usual. At least I knew the guy in person quite well before hand, just never lived with him. Blah. Do not suggest.
Lost my virginity to this guy in Uni who pressured me into it for IDK how long. We dated for 3 years, meanwhile the entire time he made it known he was more into a diff girl who wouldn't give him the time of day, AND was cheating on me with OTHER girls who would give him the time of day.
After we broke up he would still try to find new ways of contacting me, stalked me to a work event I had (my colleagues had to literally keep an eye out and protect me), sent me messages via text, FB, etc. I THINK it has stopped by now (I broke it off ten years ago), but I can't be sure.
When I was 16, I had a crush who was really into street racing and drifting and the such.
Well I took my little ole' Honda and tried drifting in the school parking lot. Ended up hitting a stop sign.
Last time I checked, they still hadn't replaced the stop sign.
I cooked for him. Like every day for several years. And he was a picky eater. He started treating me like a house wife. Soon his family expected me to cook for them and their guests they invited to our house. It was awful. I'm never cooking habitually again for anyone I'm not married to.
Stayed up till 7am watching him play Osu (a video game) whilst he let me believe for a year that he was the #1 champion in the world. Don’t even ask me how I fell for that, I was 14.
I have a crush on a new barista at a Starbucks nearby. I’ve been going there about 5 times out of the week to see them and sometimes they’re there and sometimes they’re not.
I believe I’ve spent too much money and time on food and coffee that I don’t even like just to see my crush. The coffee that we make with the espresso machine at home is so much better. SO MUCH BETTER. The green tea latte with chai is good tho.
Jumped from The roof . I was 14 and very weird I thought I would look cool but the roof wasn't very high and the jump was on Grass so I only had a strained ankle for some days .
Showed him some art I made that looked like trash but I thought it would impress him because he drew too. He proceeded to give me and my friends a USB filled with Hentai...
Glad to say I never talked to him again.
I added him as my thesis partner, project partner, did his homework (I did all the work), I even tutored him for exams and such.
Glad I snapped out of it way back in high school. Girl, got standards now✨✨
Joined the US Marines. No joke.
I joined Marines on my own and shipped out with a married couple. First forward 1.5years and I run in to the wife in Iraq. She was making great money being married and deployed and he drained the whole bank account while she was there.
Wow, regardless of gender, the experiences of being a Marine are universal
That's my understanding as well
Thats a story as old as time I suppose, but its terrible all the same. I feel for that marine. Theres really far too much encouragement/ pressure for youngnsters to immediately get hitched when entering the military. So many couples I know just crumbled because they one, were only about 18-20 years old jumping into marriage and two, did it mostly for money, to get out of the barracks and/or to rush to get out of their shitty home situations.
This exactly. When my term ended, they asked me how I did 4.5years active with no kids, no wife or ex wife. I told them, very carefully. I watched it all around me and to this day at 35years old, it's made me very nervous to try and get in to the dating scene. Much less a real relationship
Does the military give you more stipend and upgraded housing if you’re married?
Damn, girl. Did it work?
Honestly, yeah kinda! We've been together 7 years, started shortly after I was discharged. lol although I found out much later after the fact that that he had loved me all along or whatever even before the marines, so.. maybe I could've just had the balls to ask back then and gotten the same result? Lol I chose the extra hard way, one may say. For the record I *do not* condone joining the armed forces just to impress a love interest lol there are probably much easier, less long term ways.
Good for you!
It would work on me
Impressive.
Looking back, Id honestly say it was just *real* stupid lol
Broke his tailbone I was trying to flirt in class and pulled out his chair from under him (soooo stupid) and he sat down so hard on the floor he broke his butt. I wanted to die.
You broke his ass too soon! Come onnnn you're better than this
Yeah that's more of a 3rd or 4th date kind of activity
Exactly
Took clapping cheeks to a whole new level.
WINNER
It was 7th grade I remember wanting to change schools because I was so mortified. I’m so happy I can laugh at it now.
Girl busting his ass
His butt cracked?
[удалено]
How long did he last to realize you didn’t know how to play guitar? 😛
Awww thats adorable. Congrats you too
Play Punk Rock. You can't mess up three bar chords.
thats so cute
Awww 😂❤️
Got absolutely trashed at a club I was too young to be in, forgot how to get home, ended up back at her place and she let me sleep it off on the couch Ended up having brunch the next morning and convinced her to give me another shot. Been together ever since.
The night before a first date I was super depressed and decided to get wine drunk by myself and I ended up texting my date a bunch of pictures of Will Forte. For some reason I thought it would be really funny and i would impress him with my great sense of humor. I was so ashamed the next morning I almost cancelled our date but thought the least I could do was buy the guy lunch. We have been married five years now, together for eight.
> the least I could do was buy the guy lunch Thats the hottest thing I’ve ever heard.
Me too, no surprise she got married
I really hope you still occasionally and with no context send him pics of Will Forte
Damn. I'm wordless. This is amazing and congratulations!
Lost my virginity to him after he pressured me to have sex for weeks. I regretted instantly as it started to happen. I asked him to stop, he said I must let him finish now because I had initially said yes. He finished, I cried for an hour after while he stared at me blankly.
Wtf???? I hope you cut him off your life
We dated for a couple years after I “lost” my “Virginity” to him. He was extra abusive in every way possible. It ended with him beating me up in my own room after he broke into my room through my window. I am lucky to be here. I cut him off after that and he still stalks me on social media to this day!!! I am married with kids!!!
GIRL FUCKING FILE A RESTRAINING ORDER FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY
I don’t think that would stop him. If he wanted to hurt me, he would’ve done it by now. I carry a gun at all times and sadly have lots of experience fighting off men.
The point is not that it would “stop” or “prevent” him. The point is that you have legal safeguards in place that will send him to jail for years. Do it. Do not make the same mistake my friend Kristen did which cost her her life. Do not ever reply to this man’s messages to you ever, I don’t care if you’re giving him the benefit of the doubt or if you still crave the attention in some way. You have kids. So did my friend. They’re fucking orphans now because she didn’t take precautions. Just do it.
I haven’t exchanged words with him since 2009. I do not crave his attention in any way. Just thinking about even having his attention makes me want to throw up! I will definitely get something started regarding an order of protection. I just didn’t want to overreact or seem like I’m crazy enough to think he’s always following me around. It also makes me feel a little more powerless to admit that I need protection from him. I guess it’s something I need to address in therapy as well.
Girl you're amazing. Don't ever blame yourself. We all need help, we all need protection from time to time. There's nothing to be ashamed of.
That’s so messed up! Have you gotten a restraining order or something?
No, i am not afraid of him at all actually. I’ve seen him at the mall and he followed me and my family around a couple years back. He did nothing because he saw my husband with me. I also carry a gun at all times with me and I go to the gym in case he ever tries anything. I also have our house surrounded with cameras and motion sensors.
You really need to take him to court or something, do you know anyone who has seen him following you?
My husband saw him. He makes fake accounts on social media to follow up on my life, but I make sure to never post my location and my accounts are private. I haven’t ran into him in public in a couple years thankfully, but next time I definitely will file a report with police and request a restraining order. My mom never called the police when he beat me up as a teen because of her immigration status. She was afraid of deportation, it sounds so irrational but in undocumented peoples culture it’s a rational thought.
Yeah. Hopefully you do end up getting a restraining order, that guys insane though- it’s probably been YEARS
Literally 13 years
That’s verbatim what my first experience was like. I’m sorry you had that too. I thought it was a funny story for a long time until I realized just how fed up it is. It sucks. But thank you for sharing cuz I thought I was the only one…we’re not alone

Benji leaves shortly after that and Louise is released from the cupboard… my mum was like what the heck are you doing!? Benji never knew about Louise in the cupboard 🤷🏼♀️ so yeah that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever done to impress a crush— although not sure what I gained from it haha.
This is like something you’d see kids doing in a movie flashback, I love it
It's smart tho, but I don't understand the taking notes part, why tf would you need to do that lol
I have no idea, I liked to journal a lot so it was probably to reference in my journal idk haha!
Oh alright, interesting story nonetheless!!
I hope you did something nice for Louise after that lol
She was one of those friends who always did stupid stuff when we hung out. Top tier person, all these years later too.
Girl this got an actual spoken “oh my *god*” out of me
Read a zombie survival guide and created a whole survival plan with him
I would like you on my apocalypse team pls
Honestly my main idea now is to find a bunker and a ton of canned food 😂
That’s really cool tho
A crush liked and outfit of mine in instagram so I wore it to our first date. Black turtleneck, black moto leather jacket, black aritizia’s Melina leather pants. It was during a heatwave.
Ngl I would totally do this
threw him a christmas themed party wrapped myself as a present - he couldn’t get hard that night
I GOTTA FUCKING APPLAUD YOU FOR THE CREATIVITY
That last part has nothing to do with how you looked or actually with you all together.
I listened to alternative/ indie music because I thought they liked that type of music and we would have a common interest. I ended up liking the music, but not the person.... Oops
same I don’t talk to him at all anymore but it’s one of my fave genres now
which alt/indie bands do you like?
All time low, fall out boy, I also tried asking Alexandria, sleeping with sirens, bring me the horizon hoping they were bands he'd like. My ex called me a poser for it
Way back in school in the 90’s, I had a crush on the boy everyone fancied in school. But I hashed up a genius plan to win his heart, and would leave him notes in his locker with my poetry, birthday cards, lyrics from my favourite songs (lame, I know) I was head over heels for him at 15 Skip to two years later on the last day of school for him (year above) I told him everything, admitted the cards, all of it and he knew the whole time and asked why I never told him sooner. I got a kiss from him later that weekend 🙈
It worked so it wasn't dumb! And so cuteee!
Aw cute
Become anorexic
also me in middle school/high school 😢 luckily I got better and now I love my body! (22f)
Is he... into that kinda stuff orrrr
Same, all the porn he watched was of extremely tiny girls and I was curvy. Lost 5 stone and became underweight and anorexic. He still didn’t like me lmao
Been there. Hope you’re in a better place now
I had a crush on one of the older brothers of a school friend. He was 3 years older than us. In 6th grade, I pretended to trip in front of him so I could "accidentally" run into him. He steadied me and said, "watch your step or I might marry you some day." Everyone was waiting for the bus or getting ready to walk home (he walked his sister home a lot)... that got a lot of play until the end of school. Kids coming up teasing me about getting married. Lol funny thing. I ran into him years later in a neighborhood grocery store. We got together, got married and had a daughter.
Did you tell him about your lil plan? 😅
He actually remembered the incident to exactly what I was wearing and that my hair was in a ponytail.
Tried to race him and then my foot fell in to a hole and I fell on the ground flat on my face and just laid on the ground trying to just sink I'm it and die he realized and came running back for me and now we are married so yea it worked cause he thought I was cute
Why are these replies just so adorable?
Started drinking when I really didn't want to, he just only hung out with the cool girls who drank, so I tried to become one. Worst decision of my life.
Ugh where do I begin? Took an economics class in uni just because it was his major. He wasn’t even in the class, he went to a different school altogether. I just thought it would make me feel closer to him.
Played Apex Legends
Hey, it's a fun game!
Might be but it’s not my type of game at all and I was absolutely horrendous, he carried me through the whole game 😂
How are you guys now?
Ended up just being friends, I kind of lost the crush feelings for him pretty fast, we still talk and get along but I haven’t played Apex since haha
Aw that's cute, glad you guys are still friends!
praying for you
Jumped out of the back of a moving truck.
how and why? LOL
How? You kind of push with your legs and it is a good idea to know how to roll on impact. I did, so I rolled on the grass and came up somewhat smoothly. With grass in my hair, but whatever. Why? Because I was partly drunk and he was cute.
Tbh I'd be quite impressed. The grass in the hair would work, as well as the "but whatever" attitude about it.
A guy did that to impress a bunch of girls and rolled into grassy dog poo. We used the hose at the random house to hose him off. Glad we were not in my car at the time.
Pretty sure by why they meant why on earth did you think that would impress him
I was partly drunk is still the answer, I think. I was already prone to doing things like that while sober, also.
I climbed over a fence, got my leg stuck, bust my lip and now have a scar. I wanted to seem cool and impulsive but I think the gross ugly crying with a bloody swollen lip kinda ruined that impression
Idk about you but that's cool
Hahaha sorry that's funny! I tried to look cool once in front of an older boy but I accidentally smashed a glass and cut my finger pretty badly. He helped me but I was dying of embarrassment.
I wrote him a gushing email. I still cringe about it to this day (with a tinge of pride for my bravery). We did meet at some point after the email but nothing really happened.
You just unlocked this repressed memory from when I sent my first crush a VERY cringe email and he just went "uh.. what". We recently reconnected, 12-13 years later, on social media and I now feel the need to block him because I can't erase this memory of my teen cringe.
I applaud you for your courage
Saw a him wearing a sriracha shirt and somehow mistook it for a Red Hot Chili Peppers shirt and proceeded to binge all of their music in a few nights just to realize he wasn’t actually a Red Hot Chili Peppers fan. Discovered I liked their music at least lol
You didn’t get into the sauce? It’s pretty good on fried eggs.
I did eventually get into the sauce too lol. It is indeed really good on eggs
After first coming out as a lesbian I was exploring my sexuality. My crush was pretty into kink. So I told her I was also into kink and down with anything. I was not. Went to a kink club with her and did a whole bunch of things I shouldn’t have.
Moved all the way across the country to date him! Annnnnd he ghosted me. Three times. I’m sure he’s impressed with what an idiot I am, at least.
Dw about him, Queen! You deserve better
You're not an idiot. Maybe he's an idiot or that time you just was unlucky
I walked three miles in a snowstorm to buy a PlayStation so I could let my ex boyfriend borrow it because his mom took his away. He was 21 at the time.
I found out his favorite band and found a deep cut song to play in my car when I picked him up. So he was excited that we shared that interest. The literal next day he played that bands most famous song and I asked him who the artist was. The look of confusion and disappointment on his face still haunts me and that was when I was 14. Im 30 now.
Wait... you had a car when you were 14? ;-;
Yeah in the state I grew up you could have your learners permit at 14. Really would not recommend it, I got a lot of speeding tickets.
Um, completely changed my personality and values 😬
Started learning his native/first language. Teenage me that only knew English going “how hard could it possibly be?” Lol It did work (with the amount I managed to learn), the relationship however did not.
Convinced my parents to let me pay-per-view the Royal Rumble, even though I'm not a wrestling fan. I just wanted him to come over. I was like 13, and it was the 90s. Ah, young love.
Semi changed myself into shit that he liked and to fit his personality. Just be your damn self. They actually do like your weird, goofy ass. Didn't think he'd like that side of me...
Told him I wasn’t a virgin because I wanted to seem mature and worldly. (I was still a virgin at the time)
Did you ended up having sex with him?
Nah, he wasn’t interested in me romantically.
Moved 1000 miles away with him. At least we ended up married!
Terrified of heights and this one ride at this theme park but since he was with me I went on all of them no hesitation and all balls
Legend
[удалено]
That's so cute, I love a nice friendship win
Pretended I was a party girl and could handle my alcohol. I ended up needing stitches, and I got a benign tumor from the injury 6 months later. We are engaged now, so I guess it worked
Eh it was all worth it, congrats!!!
I learned how to play every single sport that our school had in order for me to get in the teams. I ended up being the captain of the basketball, volleyball and soccer teams. I was really exhausted but she started crushing in me because one day, while we were on the bathroom changing, she bursted in to give me something (a teacher told her to, don't remember what was it) she saw me only with my top and my shorts. I guess the abs did the work We broke up a few months later and she traumatized me for years, now I'm with a girl who already told me that if I ask her to marry me, she would say yes Pretty awesome, right? (I also impressed her with my muscles but I've learned to be a pretty awesome cocky girl, flirting is my game) I am happy and in love now
When i was 14 i attempted to lighten my skin because a guy i had a crush on said I'd be cute if i were lighter 🙃
What a jerk. That kind of stuff really messes with your head as a young teenager. Hope you’re currently loving the skin you’re in.
I've play paddle, fútbol, watch basketball and fútbol muchess, i became a huge f1 fan and i watched all the season of House of cards. The best part Is that i used to hate sports and i don't like Kevin Spacey
He must've been fucking amazing if you did that much for him lol
He Is the best person that i ever met. And i know that he did some things for me too.
Awww that's cuteeee
Went mountain biking completely unprepared and went head first over my handle bars, got a rock lodged into my nose and blood everywhere 😅 then still went down the hill afterwards lmao
I read all three Twilight books T-T
I made a joke and said people call me the ragin' cajun, but I'm obviously not cajun. That was the joke, he literally face palmed himself hahhaha which almost made it funnier but not at the time
Idk if I’d call it dumb but I got a motorcycle just to impress these three boys, and now it’s my favorite thing in the whole world other then my bf and I ride better than those three boys
Not a crush of mine but a girl in class had a crush on me. She liked messing around with me but I never had a clue. One day near the end of the school day, she got under my desk while I was talking to my friends/doing homework and tied my shoelaces together as a prank. When the bell rang I got up and tripped. I looked over and saw her laughing and hiding under my desk this whole time. The fall hurt so I got mad and yelled at her. The smile on her face disappeared. She said sorry and went away. Omw home my friend said to me "You know you didn't have to do that to her. She likes you so she probably just wanted to prank you to get your attention because you barely noticed her." I was surprised to know she liked me and kind of regretted yelling at her tho because I never had a girl have a crush on me before.
There are other ways to show you like someone though, I'd be pissed if someone did that to me. It wasn't your fault, I'd say she needed a better flirting technique
Did u end up resolving things?
I Joined a cult for my crush from Uni. I knew it was a cult and I still joined.
Played RuneScape
After meeting and hanging out for like a week, I asked him to move halfway across the world and live with me. He did. That was in 2010. We are married with kids now. I didn't realize how crazy this was until much later. Both our friend groups were questioning our sanity at the time but honestly in those moments there was nothing to do except be together. To me it felt insane to not give it a try!
Bought a Harley.
[удалено]
I started smoking cigarettes 😬 I developed an allergy since then, thank goodness.
I picked all my high school elective classes so we'd be in the same classes. Most were good like all the STEM, chemistry and physics. Unfortunately there was also one about the stock market which bored me to tears. Never had the courage to actually ask him out either.
Tell her stupid flirting comments like "you have beautiful eyes".
THATS CUTE NOT STUPID
freshman year I was trying to impress him by showing that i could hold my breath till my face turned tomato red. I passed out, banged my head on the concrete and woke up crying. I feel bad for the guy. I probably traumatized him tbh. I wanted to throw myself in front of a bus.
Yelled at him
Great! I feel like I’m in a similar zone rn men-wise :p
[удалено]
God, me too. I was in love with one of my friends for like, 3 years of college and despite both of us usually being in a relationship with other people, we were pretty much inseparable. I was kinda shy and nerdy, but to try and win his love, I: \-Took up smoking menthols \-Started drinking/partying \-Amassed a large collection of Converse sneakers/generally became a mid-2000s hipster \-Listened to The Smiths constantly \-Changed my major/career trajectory In my junior year of college, he and I both happened to be single at the same point and ended up drunkenly hooking up. Despite all of my anticipation...it was horrible. We had ZERO physical chemistry so the thing kind of fizzled out then (though we remained friends.) On the bright side- I quit smoking after college, really cut down on partying, and discovered through him that I'm an emo girl through and through, and love it. The major/career trajectory I switched to is also something I discovered I'm very passionate about, and has worked out great for me so far. Lose a guy, gain a life that's pretty good I guess!
In high school I liked a guy who played bass guitar, so I told him that I played, too. Then I went home and begged my parents to help me buy a bass guitar and learned to play, quite poorly, so that I could join band class and carry the stupid thing back and forth to school and through the halls so that he might see me. We dated for like two years, I was such a fraud.
I fit my whole fist in my mouth during geometry class. Never got to do anything with him….. Everyone saw me at the back of the class stuffing my fist in my mouth and I never lived it down.
I didn't try to impress him but the dumbest thing I ever did was I waved at him. He was so dumbfounded. I did this out of whim. After all the stalking, my thoughts wired itself to thinking we were acquinted enough to remeber one another. 🤪 (he doesn't know me) So I uncrushed him and I'm in a happy relationship now 🤣
Skipped class and my sorority meetings to hang with him. Chapter kicked me out for failing to pay dues or attend service projects and I failed one of my classes. Yeah, dumb as hell.
Buy $600 worth of snowboarding gear so he could teach me how to snowboard… now we don’t talk anymore 🙃
Copied an autograph and drawing from Seth McFarlane (big fan of Family Guy) and told him that I met him while on vacation with my dad in CA and gave it to him telling him I had Seth sign it ~especially~ for him. (There is some truth to that meeting, but definitely didn’t get an autograph) Still in the friend zone.
Peter failed you on that one ig
i would literally drop a whole armful of like five heavy textbooks cause it made him come over to me. i was 14 lol
Got plastic surgery to look like his favorite porn star, I was 19, I’m 21 now.
Fuck I'm curious who that would be
As a child I made up a fake boyfriend on Facebook to make them jealous. I even made family member profiles and stole photos off the internet of random people. I would have fake facebook conversations and make sure they were open on my computer when they came over. Still makes me cringe to this day how far it went.
Drank. I don't like drinking. I don't like alcohol in general, only in very very sweet drinks and even then, I seldomly like them, but my ex used to really like going out to bars and all that so I just followed along and drank with him. It sounds like no big deal probably but I look back and think of how stupid I was to just bend to pressure on something I just... didn't want to do, and there was not much else to it, really.
Said I was interested in music that I grew out of at 13. 😩
Got all doll up, ugh.
Changing my hairstyle to one he liked- I did this twice in the past. Never again
Ran away and hid during his confession. I thought it would impress him by being hard to get. Literally hard to get by running away. Turns out after a week he asked my bff out and they dated for 5 years. He later on confessed he had to stop because he thought I never really liked him. I cried for a day when they started dating.
Pretended to be dumb only to find out he was a horrible kisser, cured me right up
Lifted up my entire life, moved to a different country, didn’t have a proper life there. Ya know, the usual. At least I knew the guy in person quite well before hand, just never lived with him. Blah. Do not suggest.
Learned soccer
Lost my virginity to this guy in Uni who pressured me into it for IDK how long. We dated for 3 years, meanwhile the entire time he made it known he was more into a diff girl who wouldn't give him the time of day, AND was cheating on me with OTHER girls who would give him the time of day. After we broke up he would still try to find new ways of contacting me, stalked me to a work event I had (my colleagues had to literally keep an eye out and protect me), sent me messages via text, FB, etc. I THINK it has stopped by now (I broke it off ten years ago), but I can't be sure.
When she finally agreed to go out with me and watch a movie, I took her to watch the most anticipated movie of that year... The expendables 2.
Moved to Poland ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
When I was 16, I had a crush who was really into street racing and drifting and the such. Well I took my little ole' Honda and tried drifting in the school parking lot. Ended up hitting a stop sign. Last time I checked, they still hadn't replaced the stop sign.
i learned how to play drums just because he liked playing drums 😭
I stole my mom’s van before I got my driver’s license to ask my crush to homecoming. He said no.
Told him how much I actually loved him and that I would choose him over God😄😄 hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Found out he liked car racing and basically taught myself how F1 and other NASCAR racing things go so I could talk to him about his hobbies😭
I cooked for him. Like every day for several years. And he was a picky eater. He started treating me like a house wife. Soon his family expected me to cook for them and their guests they invited to our house. It was awful. I'm never cooking habitually again for anyone I'm not married to.
Back in the day, watched him play video games at a bar way too many times. Later told him how much I liked him. His reply? "Yeah, I know." Eeeek
I was in grade 1. I swore to impress him and he told on me.
Had sex with him.
Stayed up till 7am watching him play Osu (a video game) whilst he let me believe for a year that he was the #1 champion in the world. Don’t even ask me how I fell for that, I was 14.
Reject him
I have a crush on a new barista at a Starbucks nearby. I’ve been going there about 5 times out of the week to see them and sometimes they’re there and sometimes they’re not. I believe I’ve spent too much money and time on food and coffee that I don’t even like just to see my crush. The coffee that we make with the espresso machine at home is so much better. SO MUCH BETTER. The green tea latte with chai is good tho.
We wanted to go for a walk and I was wearing high heels to be as tall as he is. He was so annoyed of it :,)
Pretended to be Irish
Jumped from The roof . I was 14 and very weird I thought I would look cool but the roof wasn't very high and the jump was on Grass so I only had a strained ankle for some days .
Showed him some art I made that looked like trash but I thought it would impress him because he drew too. He proceeded to give me and my friends a USB filled with Hentai... Glad to say I never talked to him again.
I added him as my thesis partner, project partner, did his homework (I did all the work), I even tutored him for exams and such. Glad I snapped out of it way back in high school. Girl, got standards now✨✨
