Pretty sure the name of my first crush has been laser-etched onto my soul. Would not surprise me in the least if when I die, Death comes to collect me wearing her face.
Grade 10, two years into my infatuation. I finally got the courage to ask her out. Since I wasn't brave enough to ask her in person, I got her mobile number off a friend after school, then paced around my room for two hours rehearsing lines. When I finally call, her dad picks up. Confused, I ask to talk to her. He tells me she's in the middle of a driving lesson with him. I'm now panicked. None of the scenarios I had played out in my head involved this. In my state of confusion I end up asking her dad to ask her out for me. He pauses... A looooooooooooong pause. I can hear murmurs and giggling in the background. He returns, "Sorry mate, better luck next time". First time getting turned down in my life was by a middle aged man... At least he let me down easy.
In grade 8 I asked my crush out and she told me "I'll think about it, ask me next week." So I spent the week psyching myself up to ask again and when a week had passed and I asked she turned around and went "what!? I have a boyfriend!" Guess she needed that week to find a good excuse...
I had a crush on a girl and my evil friend new that. One day we were doing prank calls during lunch and he called her place of work, made a death threat than used my full legal name and hung up.
When I was in grade 6, I asked this boy out by giving him a note in the yard and then running away. At lunch time, he passed me a note back and said "so you wanna play paperweights do you?" I literally had to ask him three times to say the same thing before he finally gave up trying to explain it and just told me to open the note which said "okay" on it. He broke up with me after about three weeks of not talking to each other and passing messages through our friends about how much we like each other. We also went to the school dance together but he pretty much ran away from me as soon as we paired off. And then I held this big grade 6 party in my shed (the decor was just as you would imagine it to be) and I invited my best friend from the city. I was still trying to win him back at this point, impressing him with choreographed dance moves, and he seemed to be getting along really well with my best friend and I thought, "oh this is good, she can tell him what a catch I am". About a week later I get an email (in green comic sans font) from my bff telling me that she and my ex "boyfriend" are in love and he wrote her a poem. According to my diary, this was the worst day of my life.
In primary school, me and my friend both had a crush on the same girl. He somehow convinced me that we both should scratch an "I love you" message into the side of the school shed. I went first and scratched "Zack loves Jessie" onto the shed and before my mate did, a teacher caught us vandalising school property. The principal was called and every kid nearby came to look at me getting told off and saw the message, including the girl I liked. I was forced to apologise to the girl and I don't think I ever spoke to her again. I moved schools next year (unrelated).
My embarrassing crush story: I accidentally turned down a girl I had a crush on for *years* in high school. I'd convinced myself she was the one I was going to end up with long term, I saw every interaction with her as "progress", etc. Well it turns out that for a while, she actually liked me too. Her brother would literally walk past me at school and yell "my sister likes you!" but I just assumed he was trolling me or something. Every time a sign came up that she might like me, I'd just explain it away as "I'm probably overthinking it" and would convince myself I was just seeing things. Well, one day she got me alone on a train after school (her friends "suddenly and mysteriously" had to go to another carriage) and she was visibly pretty nervous. She said "hey, I was just wondering... do you have a crush on me?" and leaned in hopefully for my answer. That was it right there, that was my moment! But what did I do? I started rummaging through my school bag pretending I was looking for something, and changed the subject. She leaned back in her seat and looked visibly disappointed. Now why did I do this, you ask? Because I'd heard the statistics of how unlikely relationships were to last if they started at that age, so I told myself we weren't ready yet. I was going to wait *five more years* until we'd left school before I made my move, because then it would last, I told myself. Of course, I waited so long that she eventually lost interest and we drifted away. Yeah, teenage me had some odd ideas about love and relationships.
In year 6 I asked a girl out, she said... and I quote, “say the f-word, I want a mature boyfriend”... I refused to say it out of fear of being told on... we ended up going to different high schools... in year 11 I found myself at a party and she was there and she looked amazing, so I walked up to her and her friends while I was off my face and said “FUCK, that’s the word... FUCK”... turns out she didn’t recognise me, and even if she did, there’s no way she would have remembered what she told me in year 6... I became the laughing stock at the party and Ubered home 5 minutes later
Oh my God, it's a two parter! 😂😂😂 Amazing story, I've definitely been there. Expecting them to get an inside joke and they have no idea what you're talking about.
- I was 17 and there was a cute girl a year or two older than me who just started working at the gym reception - In an autistic attempt to make her notice me, I asked to buy something from behind the counter. A protein shaker bottle I think - Amidst the exchange I somehow gained a surge of confident chad power, kind of like when Neo jumps across a building and Morpheus says 'he's beginning to believe'. I managed to get her to talk about herself - She mentioned using the gym, and I said 'we'll have to partner up sometime' to which she smiled and said 'I could do with an exercise partner!' - She extended her arm and held out her fist, and sure enough, I met her invitation and fist bumped her. Her expression completely changed to a look of disgust - 'uhhh... I am handing you your change?' - she said, as she burst into a kind of laughter that not even a seasoned lawyer would have a rebuttal for - I remember forcing a laugh as I said something incoherent which couldn't be heard over the banshee's harrowing scream, I then fumbled to open the automatic door which made her bellow harder, now attracting the attention of other gym staff. I walked away, fast. The days that followed were a blur and I still think about it at least once a month. I'm 26 now
I was so terrible at talking to women that it legitimately stresses me out to a point where I feel sick just from thinking about my high school crushes it could almost be classified as ptsd at this point
I told my "best friend" about my crush in year 4, he and the rest of the class decided to play a joke on me by having her pretend to like me for the last two days of the school year. I was the happiest kid alive for a day when i thought she liked me. Then when she revealed the joke by kissing the class bully and declaring him her boy friend infront of everyone at recess on the final day of the year I was like ralph wiggum when he was dumped by lisa. whats worse is I was in a year 4/5 group and I was in the same class as all of them the following year. Its a pretty painful memory to be honest, dam you jordey.
Crush Story: I think this was in year 1? I wanted to ask a girl named Kelly to marry me, I asked my Mum if I could buy a ring to ask her. She humoured me and said that a nice bracelet would work fine. Fast forward to the next Monday and as I walk in to the school, I get pulled aside and yelled at by the Dad and told never to talk to her again. Mum must have let someone know. Thrown to the wolves by my Mum, verbally taken down from Kelly’s Dad and actively ignored by Kelly for the rest of the year. I didn’t last much longer at the school. Kenthurst Public School is still a place of horrors for me.
I too have a blast from the past story. In year 1 I tried to impress a girl by swearing like my dad. Spotted her at lunch under the playground, and Connor McGregor'd my way up to her with a big ego. Looked her dead in the eye and said "How the fuck are ya?". She immediately ran away and told a teacher, so I tried to hide under a slide and ended up losing my play time. Later on I got invited to her party though, so I guess it worked.
@@jackstricko2675 fuck I remember being in year 1, committing some heinous shit that meant some kid went to tell a teacher on me, and then just fleeing the scene to hide somewhere for all of lunch. It'd be a great hiding spot too like I'd be crouched in a proper bunker for 40 minutes aged 9 - knowing some 50 year old art teacher was hunting me like a fugitive
once in year 8 i tried to leave early and told my mum i was coming home and said that a teacher told me it was ok then she called me back and said she had told the school and they said it was not ok so i got detention for two weeks and i think im on some kind of a watchlist now since many of my attempts have been foiled by teachers (im in year 9 now)
Also, crush story: was very proficient on the monkey bars as a kid. I specialised in waterfalls/double waterfalls. Tried to impress my crush by doing a triple waterfall (aka with three SOLID METAL BARS between my grade-1 arms), cacked it, and smashed my teeth into solid fucking metal. My best friend described it as “a mass of blood and tears and tears and blood”. I also once went up to this crush and called him “my sweet baboon”, in an imitation of that girl from Charlie Brown. Beat that.
In year 7 I thought I would be romantic and write a love letter to my crush on school camp. Made her a bouquet of lollipops. She preceeded to eat the lollipop and read the letter to the whole year level.
Regrettably in year 8 my friend convinced me that my crush would like me more if I was mean to her so me and him sent her insulting texts until her parents rang me and threatened me
In year 9 during english, the teacher wanted us to write a few cards out with nice things on them for other students. My ADHD simp brain at the time, processed that as a chance to tell my crush what I thought about her. I end up writing a full paragraph, struggling to fit words on the card, finally finish, times up. Everyone's used single sentence compliments. Crush gives me a pity smile (to which I thought "fuck") and the teacher has a go at me in front of everyone for only writing to one person, exposing me to the class. Her friends laughed at me for 2 years after that. 13 years later and it still stings lmao
There was a bake sale at school so at break I bought my crush a cake with a heart on top and asked her out. Got a pretty resounding no, then as i turned away a someone knocked the cupcake out my hand with a football. I've had better days tbh
Read one on reddit that still makes me feel substitute cringe: Girl is invited to her crushes birthday party, thinks he likes her. In a game of truth or dare, she's first up and her crush dares her to go home.
i feel like ill come close was in year 8 whole school assembly crush was sitting at the end of the row i was in wrote a note asking if my crush would be my girlfriend watched my note get passed down the row until a teacher intercepted it teacher then proceeded to read it out loud crush never spoke to me again
@@Saintly My year 7 teacher hit two birds with one stone on note-passing. Whenever he intercepted a note he would "read it out" but would actually say something that was embarrassing for the note-passer but unbelievable so no one actually thought the note said it. The class would get a kick, the note-passer would feel sheepish enough not to do it again (for a while), but nobody got actually embarrassed. What a legend.
Oooft reading this just brought up a suppressed memory of a very similar situation, only that I drew a crude pair or boobs asking my crush if he fancies me. I sank under my desk when the (male) teacher caught that note going around.
Lmaaoo I did the exact same thing. We literally only communicated in text. Then we met up one day, I asked him out, he said “sure”. And then we never spoke again :p
I got two: In year 10 I overcame my crippling awkwardness to kiss a girl at a party. Then when I tried to message her, I sent not one, not two, but three ‘Heyy x’s over the course of a few days. All of which were left on read. Rough as guts. The other was year 12 when my mates were trying to coach me on what to say to a girl, and I ended up messaging her “I am the sidewinder”
Crush Story: Nervously asked my crush to our Year 10 Formal about 6 months before it happened, to which she said Yes. A few weeks before the Formal, she got back together with her Ex-Boyfriend so I figured it would be a good idea to check if we were still going together (we obviously weren't) to which she said, "Oh, I thought you were joking, sorry!"
Year 6: Asked a year 7 girl I liked if she wanted to be my girlfriend, she declined and was nice about it but in an eruption of the extreme overflowing amount of awkwardness inside of me I literally ran away to the playground like a 5 year old. This left her confused and did wonders for my self-esteem. Year 9: Sent a "do you have any feelings for me" text to my crush, she did not in fact like me back but we did bond over a shared love of subway. Year 10: Confessed my admiration to a girl over text on valentines day, she was flattered and wanted to talk more and said we should meet up at school. I kept telling her I'd meet her while she did guitar practice all week and stood her up because I chickened out every time. Year 11: Turned out the girl I liked was lesbian.
In grade 9 there was this girl, her and I were pretty close. So one day as the bell rang when school finished, the time when the whole school was walking to the carpark to get picked up, I asked her out. Instead of saying no or instead of ripping my heart out like bart in that simpsons episode (both of these options would have been better) she started laughing out loud and the whole school was just watching her laughing at me 😬
I got asked out as a joke in high school like once a month. Then it became an ingrained response to laugh, even if it was serious... I laughed so hard when one of my best friends asked me out seriously, that he was actually really upset and it affected our friendship badly. So maybe there are other beta high school girls like me who developed a weird Pavlovian response because of bullying?
Crush story: I can't believe I'm actually about to tell this story. In year 6 I liked this girl and it turned out she liked me back but since relationships where taboo in my school I did the only thing that made sense... My exact quote was "since dating would be weird at the moment, what are your thoughts on me asking you out a year in advance for highschool?" As soon as highschool came around she had me blocked on all social media for 2 years. (we went to the same highschool and had mutual friends from primary school so the awkward cringe went on for many years)
In year three I ended up writing a parody to Paul Jennings' "Tongue-Tied " where I try to give my crush a fish as a present and at the end, we unintentionally kiss. Long story short, I got my teacher to read it to the class for show and tell to try and impress her and at the end of it, my crush is in the back of the room crying with her friends comforting her. It's been 11 years now and I still cringe...
Damn son. In year 4 the hot new girl sat next to me for a couple of weeks before I had here in tears. She saw me drawing and asked me to draw a picture of her and her crush, who was my best mate. Even though I was devastated he was still my mate so I drew what my innocent 10yr old brain assumed boyfriends and girlfriends do and passed it to her expecting a thank you or a laugh. Instead she started bawling and gave it to the teacher (who already hated me) who then called me up to show the class what I'd done. I didn't know what I did wrong and nobody would talk to, or play with me for the rest of the year. I never got over it.
@@Ran_Do it got worse. In year 7 every class was forced to take dance lessons in preparation for the end of year ball, or whatever the fuck it was called, and when the teacher split us up into "permanent" pairs for the next couple of weeks guess who they paired me with? When the teacher put us next to each other she looked at me like I was a pedo, then refused to touch me or even make eye contact until they forced her to put her hands on me. I had to dance with my first crush, who socially castrated me, turned the school and my best mate against me then spent weeks during practice intentionally making me feel like a leper to the point where I started faking "allergies" just so I didn't have to relive the most painful moment in my life. Fuck childhood.
@@Joot_Doctor My father left when I was in nappies, so until he showed up on our door step when I was 10 I'd never seen an example of two consenting adults showing any kind of physical intimacy, let alone anything about sex. I was so happy to finally have a dad, but on the very night he appeared out of nowhere, my mom and dad started acting like they'd never been apart to the point of him cheekily placing his hand on her lower inner thigh which made her laugh and playfully push him away, not knowing me and my 6yr old sister were secretly watching them from the kitchen, over the moon with joy at the thought of having our dad back. It was then that the new girl, who I was convinced was into me since I made her laugh every day, asked me to draw a picture of her and her new "boyfriend". So, thinking quite innocently, I drew a picture of my mate with his hand on the inside of her leg just above the knee with her laughing and pushing him away. It wasn't pornigraphic, more of a charakature of what I thought was how adults display intimacy. I never got over the fallout of everyone hating me and not knowing what I'd done wrong.
In Year 8 a guy from another school I had a small crush on rang my house's landline to ask me out on a date. My dad picked up, grilled the shit out of him with questions and then asked to speak with his parents. Not off to a great start, but they said yeah ok they can go see a movie. I get to the shopping centre on the day and his two stern-looking parents were standing there. He was sweating bricks and I assumed his parents would leave. They hovered over us the whole time. I felt really intimidated so instead of seeing The Hunger Games we went to the Reject Shop and bought a barrel of slime from the toys section. We played with it on a bench in the shopping centre while his parents were on another bench further up the mall hallway surpervising. I spent the hour-long train ride home wondering what the fuck had just happened and texted him on Skype to say I didn't want to hang out again.
crush story: when I was in primary school I had a crush crush on this girl for a while so i wanted to go talk to her instead of going the normal route I decided to sing "I was made for loving you" by kiss in front of my class while lining up for the next class and i don't think it really worked out to be honest
Crush Story: In year 6 I had a crush on a girl who also liked me but I did the classic, savour the small victory and never go for the full asking her out. In the school play I played one of the main characters who at the end of the performance had to confess my love for another character, you guessed it, it was her. I came off stage after performing this in front of my parents (who also decided making fun of me for this was solid parenting) to a crowd of children giving me so much shit even Clive Palmer wouldn't be able to produce this much shit after 4 big macs which I assume is his morning snack. All the kids starting chanting that I loved her to which I responded, "nah, I hate her, her hair smells..." the lamest excuse ever. She heard me say this then proceeded to never talk to me again. PS. I saw her about 8 years later and she still ignored me. And she got realllllly hot in that time, devastated.
>"(who also decided making fun of me for this was solid parenting)" Big mood. Every time I talked to a girl as a kid my mum would absolutely relentlessly mock me for it. It fucked me up big time in that department.
Had a Crush on a Girl in year 8 for the entire year. Was pretty confident she would say yes if I asked her out but I could never get her alone, her short little friend was always with her. So i just asked her out with my best mate at my side. She replied with "Are you F*cking crazy" and an awkward laugh... both my friend and hers were silent and it was never mentioned by anyone ever again until now. Really crushed my soul and damaged my self confidence to the point I never asked anyone out since ...I'm 25. Lucky My Girlfriend acted on her feelings or I'd still be alone XD
In year 9 there was this girl I liked, I was petrified to ask her out so I never tried. But one of her friends told me that she liked me, so I worked up the courage to ask her out. I asked her through Instagram, but little did I know that her friends had her phone at the time. I was unknowingly talking to her friends instead, and they said yes on her behalf. I was on cloud 9, but an hour later she messaged me saying that it was a mistake, and ‘technically’ broke up with me.
Damn, my heart goes out to some of you brothers and sisters out there with these stories Not that guy who gave his valentine $20 in a card though, honestly no disrespect but what were you thinking stooge?
In Uni, i was on the recieving end of a curve ball. In a first year creative writing class, a girl in our group was too nervous to read her work out. It was holding us up so i offered to read it to the group for her. Too late i realised what she'd written about and ended up reading out erotic nazi themed fanfiction to everyone. Next week, i sat down at my desk and she turned around to face me, looked me in the eyes and asked "What are we going to do about us? Because i don't want this to just be a fling". Confusing and a little concerning
Had a mate who had a crush on a girl in one of his uni classes, spent a couple weeks building up the courage to talk to her. When he introduced himself, she speedwalked away
I have a story but from the perspective of the one being crushed on. Had a good school mate who asked me out and I turned him down. He continued to be a good friend but kept making uncomfortably desperate passes at me. This culminated in me going to his place to check out Skyrim and him attempting to impress me with his sister's pet rabbit. Went out to look at the rabbit and it was dead and in full rigor mortis. Then I just sat there while his sister rushed home and had a breakdown saying she could never have a rabbit again. We stayed friends though and he stopped his overtures when I came out to him. I don't let him forget about the rabbit incident though.
The guy I was dating broke up with me over facebook messenger, my friend knew he was going to break up with me before he messaged me. Then I find out that he broke up with me because he wanted to date his stepsister. They had a pregnancy scare shortly after.
In year 5 I asked my crush for his number when we were coincidentally alone together in the bag room. He actually said yes, but before he could write it down the rest of the class (at least 15 other students) walks in and starts up with the oooooo’s. I tried to cover it up by saying I wanted everyone’s number, but we all knew that was bullshit. Never have I wanted the universe to destroy my soul so badly and I didn’t even end up getting what I asked for.
@@thelonelybaker2151 that must've been tough but i don't blame her a lot of other guys in my class are assholes so i assume most of the time they are being mean and sarcastic
When I was in like, year 6, my friend Kirra asked me who I liked. I made up some bullshit about liking the boy with the same name as me because I didn't realise I was 90% lesbian at the time and she asked him out on moshi monsters
That's the pinnacle gay experience as a child: just picking someone of the opposite sex on arbritrary reasons completely lacking in any genuine attraction to have a crush on so you can fit in. That's some psycho shit your friend pulled, though.
Crush Story: I was friends with a girl who's parents knew my parents. We knew each other for years and we were pushed into the same extra extracurricular activities (scouts, theatre etc.). I guess we just had very similar parents. Anyway, back onto the point... She would treat me like a brother at school. We never hanged out but we would chat. Her brother saw me comforting her and beat me up after school. He told me to stay away from her and I did so for the rest of primary school. I didn't approach her at all. I tried my best to avoid her, even though we would see each other every Thursday afternoon until about grade 9. In grade 12 she and I somehow started speaking to each other. She asked why I stopped talking to her and I told her why. She didn't know that I was beaten up. She told me that the kid who beat me up outside the bike racks in grade 7 wasn't her brother but the new kid. She told me how much of an annoying shit he was. She then told me that she was sorry and we hugged. (She missed me, and I was happy to know that I was her adopted brother again. It's a stage feeling). Anyway, after that, I was beaten up after school by her current boyfriend. I closed up even more after that. And this is why my parents think I am gay. PS: Not really a Crush Story but there is probably another universe out there without that kid and her and I become a couple for the first few years of highschool.
Just know that adults don't punch each other. That shit's over after everyone finishes school. If you talk to or comfort a woman, her husband/boyfriend isn't going to thump you. Those kids who acted like dickheads in year 12 are suddenly all grown up in first year uni. It's weird.
Crush story: In year 6 we had a birthday party where we played spin the bottle. I sat opposite of my crush hoping that the bottle would land on us. After a few rounds it landed on us and I looked at her and smiled. Then she screamed "yuck" out loud and almost started vomiting and the idea of us kissing.
In year 8, I used to catch the same bus home as my crush, and I remember this one fateful afternoon, she was sat behind me, talking to to this other boy from one of the neighboring schools. They we talking about what a lad our drama teacher was, and I thought that this was the perfect moment to make my move. So I turned around, peered through the gap between the seets dividing us and exclaimed "Mr. G IS THE BEST!" then immediately realised how awkward this was and went back to facing the front in absolute silence, listening to the audible chasm my interruption had left in their conversation as, I assume, they looked at each other in mutual bewilderment. To this day the cringe haunts my dreams.
I feel that. All 15 girls in my grade 3 class specifically ran from me during kiss chasey, and one literally cried when I caught her hand. I let her go and stayed in the boys toilets for a while alone to atone for my behaviour, shattered.
I remember a mate of mine asked out a girl in high school. It was glorious, he'd been psyching himself up for weeks, mustering the courage to utter the words. When he finally did, she simply replied "Who are you?", and her and all her friends laughed and walked away. Brutal.
In primary school, I hanged out with my crush at the school fete and she kissed me in the line to the cha cha. On the playground the next day, she said that her new boyfriend was Owen, the guy who bullied me and my one friend constantly, and then kicked me in the balls and walked off with Owen. They hanged out for the rest of the year and I moved schools after that year.
In grade 6 I went to my crush’s best friend who was Korean and asked her how to say ‘I like you’ in Korean. Didn’t work but that’s a big casanova move if you ask me. Bilingual Chad.
Was in year 6. Had a crush on a girl that I sat across from. Someone told her, so I went and sat out in the rain and cried for an hour in the middle of class time, despite multiple attempts from my teacher and other classmates to get me to return. Just as well I left the school after that year, and haven’t seen her since Good times.
When I was in year four I had a MASSIVE crush on this girl. We were actually pretty close and were good friends and would hang out at lunch all the time. One time at lunch she asked me to come to the quietest corner of the school where nobody else was and asked me "What would you say if I told you I liked Charlie?". Me being the absolute chick whisperer that I was said "Huh, cool". About half a year later my family moved from Melbourne to Sydney so I completely lost that connection. Upon reflecting on my memories five years later, I put two and two together and realised that she liked me too and was trying to gauge my reaction. I still punch myself over it because she grew up to be the hottest girl I've ever met in my life. Call me a beta or whatever but even now, at almost 18 years of age, I still have a massive crush on her despite not only living in completely different states, but also me having a girlfriend of almost two years. EDIT: We have just broken up please don’t roast me Jordan
In Year 8 I was talking to my friends in class about asking my crush out. Guess she must have heard us because she walked past and just said "Yeah don't even bother asking"
Crush Story Was talking to a girl for a while and thought things were going well so I decided to ask her out... She turned around and said that she was only flirting with me to get my confidence up and had 0 interest in me. As you can guess, it did the EXACT opposite to what she thought it would do.
Year 7 I had a crush on a boy. My "friend" started dating him. A few weeks later, he approached me in class before the teacher got in, told me he dumped my friend and asked me out. I said yes, then everyone laughed saying it was a prank. I'm 36 and still scorned to this day 🤣
I had a crush on a guy and never thought he'd like me back. I got asked out by another guy and figured "why not". Terrible mistake. Found out years later the guy I actually had a crush on was goanna ask me out the same day as the second dude but found out second dude was going to ask me and stepped back to be a good friend. IT WAS THE WORST 2 YEARS OF MY LIFE
Fuark, first story boys... My life has peaked Also, shame he didn’t read the replies on my comment because it also had a happy ending, so say “suck shit blue house scum” as much as you like Jordan but guess who got the win at the end x
I have a few stories about emmbarrsing crushes I've had at school, but I'll keep it to one story in particular since I want to preserve my pride even somewhat. My story came from when I was in year two, I had a rather big crush on one of my best friends at the time and it was a crush I had since kindergarten. One day I decided to invite him and another best friend of mine over to hang out for the day, and so that my crush could meet my other best friend. At some point my other best friend pulls me to the side and asks if I had a crush on him to which I obviously said yes thinking she wasn't going to do anything... I was wrong. When we were sitting down at the table for lunch almost immediately she turned to my crush and very loudly announced that I had a crush on him. A thick silence fell upon the room as my crush avoided any eye contact with me and continued to eat his food. I don't remember much about what happened after just that my crush had to be picked up earlier than usual and that we didn't speak again after that point since both of us were way too way too awkward about it to face eachother. I'm 21 now and still vividly remember how uncomfortable both my crush and I were to this day, the real kicker was i found out that he at some point had a crush on me too. That's not the worst story I actually have three other ones which are worse, but this one doesn't make me want to crawl into a hole. Just lets just say I've never exactly been the most smooth Woman alive
In year 7, a guy in my year asked me out at lunch time with two of his mates spying on us around a corner like gremlins. I said yes, but we FISTBUMPED over it, like some year 7 treaty.
Bruh, Mad crush on this girl for ages, in year 9 finally decide it's ask her out day, tell my boys i'll do it on the train back from school,. boys Hype TF out of it for the rest of the day. Eventually try to ask her on the train, mumble a few things, have my legs literally go weak so I fell into the train seat next to her, then mumbled sorry, and GTFO. /boys are hysterical and roast the shit out of me. Proceeded to be in the friendzone and watch her date my mates for the rest of HS. 10/10
I looked it up so you don't have to: 'Degloving' refers to when the top layers of your skin are torn from the muscle tissue underneath, so much so that bone and cartilage is visible.
My whole schooling experience is a series of unfortunate events. I have always been a bit of a awkward guy, and this was especially true up until about uni. 1) In grade 5, in classic fashion the boys were talking about girls that they liked. I of course said that I loved somebody in my year because at the time I had zero emotional intelligence. It was pretty awkward between us for the rest of primary school. To the point where I would actively avoid her, so as not to embarrass myself. I did get to hold her hand one time during production, that was the happiest I had been during primary school. 2) I liked a girl (J) between year 8-10, there was another awkward friend of mine (T) who also liked her. We ended up sitting together a lot of the time, us two guys, the girl and one of her friends in classes. One time we went to a school fair together, that being myself, the other guy and the girl. Most awkward 'date' I've ever been on. I asked her out to a Deb Ball, and we had fun, but at this point it was pretty clear that I was being friendzoned. So I made a decision to ask her out at a friend's new year's party. I got rejected, and then at the start of the next school year, she started going out with one of my chad friends (P). I said I was cool with it, and I was happy for them, but it still hurt like a motherfucker. 3) Not my story but P and T from story 2 had a 'confrontation' regarding a different girl they both liked (L). This resulted in T challenging P to a 'battle at sunset' for the affections of L, a meme which has still not died in my friend group 8 years later. 4) This one involves my two highschool best friends, M1 and M2. M1 is my homie to this day, whereas M2 drifted away. M1 and I were good friends with M2 and I had a bit of a crush on M2. We did everything together, but it was clear there was chemistry between M1 and M2, so I stepped aside to let it happen. Pushing them along together, as did most of my friend group. M2 actually had a crush on M1, but we all assumed that M1 had a crush on M2 as well. That's when N came into the picture. During a photoshoot for an art class project that I was pulled into to support M2 in her lovelife. N pulled me to the side when M1 and M2 were out getting stuff setup. Asking for my support as she also liked M1, I agreed. Which left me in a bit of pickle, I said I would support both, had a crush on one, and had no idea what my boy M1 was thinking. Photoshoot came and went. M1 was in crisis so I pushed everything to the side for a night to help him sort out his feelings. I didn't think he and N would make a good couple, but I talked to him to hear what he thought. He told me that in the end, he liked N, but really didn't want to break M2's heart. I told him to follow his heart and he did. M2 would not speak to M1 for 6 months afterwards. It was a highschool version of the cold war, with high tensions, proxy wars and everything. Seeing as they were both pretty key members of our friendgroup this made things a TAD awkward. M1 and N went out for a month, then went their separate ways. If you think that was confusing to read, imagine living it. 5) Now for the one I am most embarrassed by. The last of my high school crush woes. I had a major crush on one of my friends (J2), who had transferred into the school in year 10. She was pretty, smart, funny and also was into video games and anime. I got some encouragement from my friends to ask her out. So I did. I asked her out on fucking SNAPCHAT. SNAPCHAT! I wrote up a 'love letter' on snapchat, with the thought that hey, if she rejects me there will be no evidence of it, and we can put water under the bridge. What a fucking mistake. She rejected me of course, thank god. I realised the moment I sent that message what an absolute idiot I was. Lo and behold, as a result we have managed to stay good friends, she even helped me with later romantic endeavours. At some point I just stopped seeing her that way, and we became close friends as a result. That doesn't lessen how much of a fucking idiot I was.
In year 8, I would constantly fight with my "gf" at the time via email as we were too nervous to talk in person. A legendary email of the decade from her: "if u h8 me dont d8 me"
I spent a year in year 8 getting hyped up by her friends and my friends to ask this girl out. I asked her out at the end of PE and she forgot how to speak and just started crying which made me cry and then everyone just started staring at us and getting mad at me for making her cry
In year 8, awkwardly growing manchild had a really big crush on the foreign exchange student who was in from the Czech Republic. I told my mates about it one morning. They spent period 0 to period 3 peer pressuring / hyping me up into saying something. We all shared french together and my friends, to their credit, got me sitting next to her. I essentially start wimping out and one of my friends just randomly stepped up and said 'HEY, he's got something to say to you!'. She looks up at me, expecting to say something. Two things to note. She didn't speak a whole lot of english, and she was wearing a full face of make up that was a bit on the heavy side whilst panicking, i looked her up and down and while trying to give her a compliment on something noticed a HUGE reflection of light in her make up. 'You, uh, really have a shiny face' The room erupts with laughter and she looks PISSED. I moved and swiftly repressed that memory to this day.
Imagine the skin on your hand is a glove, and you use a bandsaw with your wedding ring on. The saw blade grabs the ring and pulls the finger of the glove off, rolling it down like an itchy woollen sock.
First time I asked a girl out went pretty wrong, she went to Thailand for a few months every summer, I’d had a crush for a while and realised I was out of time so on one of her last days at school I asked her out at the end of the day, a fair amount of our class mates were around, her response was to not make eye contact with me and say “oh god” and her mate hold in laughter, I realised I dun fucked up, went back round the corner to find three of my mates, all called James, laugh till they nearly died, one of which was laughing so hard he fell over, smacked his head on a bench, and still kept laughing. He ignored actual head pain just to laugh at me. Kind of explains my reluctance to act on feelings for years
When I was in grade 6 I 'asked a girl out' at the start of the year we proceeded to be boyfriend and girlfriend for a year problem was apart from asking her out that one time I think I talked to her in person like twice. She then 'broke up with me' on the last day of school.
Bro I’m not even kidding, the exact same fucking thing happened to me 😂 I’m pretty sure we talked about 5 times in total, then she broke up with me because of high school
One of my mates decided one day in yr 10 to ask a girl out, which he had a crush on since yr 7. Her response was “*Laughing* oh wait your serious?” This was also in front of myself, all of my other mates and her friends.
In year 7, one of my mates wrote a 500 page letter to his crush, was too scared to give it to her, so he gave it to one of her mates to give to his crush. At the end of the day, he runs up to her, asks if she read the letter, and she says “yeah but I don’t really like you” or something like this. After this man poured his heart out, using quotes like “just being around you makes me better” and “you are just gorgeous, the most beautiful person I have met”, he just got shut down, then ran off to catch his bus.
In yr 11 I had a crush on a girl who obviously had a crush on me too, but I was focussed on doing well for the HSC (Asian selective school kid mindset). She tried making a move on me when we were studying in the private space at our school library. I froze up and was like that old guy in that Danish porno who was like "no don't do it; Ima virgin". I said "no" and pushed her sway, rationalising myself as an intense desire to study and do well. The stupid thing was that i didn't want her to stop being interested in me and for some reason I believed I could that by telling her I had a girlfriend who went to fucking St George HS. Needless to say, it didn't work very well.
Speaking of Tic Tacs - One time I was walking down the hill to class and I saw the guy I liked going the other way. I gave him a big smile and said hey, forgetting I had a mouthful of tictacs at the time. They spilled out, and for a brief moment he probably thought I was losing my teeth 😂 I still cringe when I think about it 15 years later.
This happened in year 6, and it's honestly scarred me for life: It was the first crush I'd ever had...One day during lunchtime at school my friends and I were all playing truth or dare with my crush (so you can obviously guess what happened next). I picked truth, and my 'friends' asked who my crush was, knowing full well that he was right there...so I did what any distraught tween would do and froze before fleeing the scene...pretty sure I ran to the opposite end of the school and just like...cried lol. The worst part of the story though, is that they ended up telling him, and then, when everyone was lining up to go back into class after lunch...in front of everyone...he pretended to like me, an my dumb little twelvie brain believed him, and then he was just like "haha lol nah why would I like you?" It was fantastic...since then I've kept all of my crushes secret in fear that a similar thing would happen lmao
I used to walk home with a girl every day after school after about a year I managed to muster up the confidence to ask her out on that same day she asked me if my best friend was ever going to walk home with us so that she could ask him out. Then one day that I was sick they walked home together and ended up dating for the next 3 months.
Ok, 18 years is long enough to finally talk about my repressed embarrassment I guess...year 7, I really like a girl, but because I was a ballsy teenage boy (just kidding, I was the epitome of beta-male) I waited until the end of first term to find her address and send her a love letter, listing in cringey detail why she should say "yes," and telling her to not tell anyone I wrote it. I spent the majority of the break hoping that it either went to the wrong address, or that by the time school resumed that she'd forget about it. Day 1 of term 2, I discovered that she in fact had not forgotten, and neither did her friends. They tormented me over it for the two weeks following. Fast forward 6 weeks or so, she and I are alone briefly in class. She asks me if I still liked her. Of course I did, but remembering the humiliation from the previous admission, I promptly said "no," and pretended I urgently needed to work on my school work. Year 12, we catch up, and I learned she'd kept the letter.
I liked this boy since kindy so in year 5 i decided to pipe up and tell him. I wrote him a love poem on a love heart sticky note. I went to pass it to him in class and the teacher caught me and took it. she then read the thing out the the whole class and everyone laughed at me. lost all my confidence on that day
Had the guts to ask someone out when I was in Year 11. First time I ever told a crush that I liked them. Was essentially bullied for it for over a year, and not in a joking manner either. I had friends of hers, who I didn't know, who would mock me for it. Never did it again.
Dude, I have no idea if you're still reading the comments but I have some GEMS: When I went to my year 10 formal I took a girl I'd liked forever, spent the whole time panicking and asking her if she was having a good time (she obviously was AND she repeatedly said yes). A few days later her friend asked me if she has a good and I said 'No she didn't I was awful the whole time and she looked insanely bored'. She called to yell at me about it then never spoke to me again. There was a girl I liked, and after I'd told her we would call each other every night and talk to each other for half hour or so, eventually when one of her friends confronted me about having not asked her out (with her in tow) I said no and that I wouldn't embarrass her like that and that we barely ever talk or know each other. She ALSO yelled at me about it and it was a bummer cause she was pretty gosh darn great. There was another that I used to get drunk with and we'd pass out next to each other, after about 5 years of shenanigans I asked her if she wanted to hook up. She said no but if I'd asked anytime in the last few year she would have been all over that. I said 'okay', rolled over and passed out. I found out later she wanted to be convinced :| I have probably a dozen more, I was seriously impaired by anxiety as a teenager, but blessed with good looks. So the tales are both numerous and GLORIOUS
Only cool thing i could do as a kid was backflips into a pool, so at yr8 swimming carnival i spent all day thinking of doing a backflip into the pool after all the races were done. Teacher called free swim time, i ran up to the edge of the pool went to do a backflip, slipped on the edge, landed on my back winding myself and a teacher had to drag my struggling ass out of the pool, all i remember is my crush and her friends laughing at me.. Still haunts me to this day, im 32 next month...
I'm a bi girl and in grade 7 I was going to this christian school and at the time I was still in the closet but had a crush on this one girl named Brianna. During a sleepover I asked Brianna what she thought of gay people, hoping to ask her out or smth, and she said that they were gross and she would never ever kiss a girl. A couple months ago I saw on instagram that she now has a girlfriend.
Asked a crush out in grade 5 over msn and while all my mates were peering over my shoulder she responds with eww gross and then just mashes the keyboard like she was trying to entirely erase my existence Honestly dont think ive ever recovered
Crush Story: In year 11 I fell for a girl that was one of my best friends, we'd hang out all the time and everyone thought we were dating. I decided to ask her out and she hit me with "you'd be a great boyfriend, just not my boyfriend".... yeah I guess you could say high school was fun
During year 10 homegroup I was fretting about some homework that was due during the next period that I had not completed. Then, while distractedly complaining to my friends, I heard my teacher ask for two people from the class to volunteer for school roll call duty (basically a get-out-of-class-free card). So I jumped to my feet yelling ME, ME, ME, happy as a clam as all my prayers had been answered. That happiness quickly turned to bitter shame as I noticed everyone else in the class were smugly looking toward me as I suddenly realised that the only other person that had volunteered was my crush. This still keeps my up an night...
I was in year 7 and asked a girl out who had an identical twin sister. I asked the wrong one and called her by her sisters name. I almost begged her not to tell her sister and she actually didn't. I asked the correct sister out this time and she said yes... shortest relationship Ive ever had. Went for 30 minutes, she caught on and dumped me at the end of lunch. I have so many embarrassing stories from my school days it's not even funny. Just hurts to think about the cringe.
I can't believe I'm actually about to tell this story... So my primary school was really really small and any romance was taboo to say the least. In year 6 I had a crush on this girl. So after school one day it was just me and her talking alone and she eventually confess that she liked me back. (I know it sounds like I'm bragging but keep reading). And then since romance was taboo I did the only thing that made sense... My exact quote was "since dating would be weird at the moment, what do you think about the idea of me asking you out a year in advance for highschool?" For the first 2 years of highschool she had me blocked on literally every form of social media
1st grade. My best friend and I were talking in class about who we liked. He said he'd tell me his crush only if I said mine first. Not thinking about it I told him "I like Hannah". The next thing I hear is the entire class bursting out in laughter and Hannah scream "Eww Gross" before realizing the friend I was talking to was sitting at the other end of the classroom.
In like year 8, I had this MASSIVE crush on this guy and I convinced myself that the BEST way to ask him out was over skype, on Christmas Eve. I sent him the video to 'All I Want for Christmas is You' to which he obviously declined. Still liked him for 2 years after that.

Pretty sure the name of my first crush has been laser-etched onto my soul. Would not surprise me in the least if when I die, Death comes to collect me wearing her face.
Grade 10, two years into my infatuation. I finally got the courage to ask her out. Since I wasn't brave enough to ask her in person, I got her mobile number off a friend after school, then paced around my room for two hours rehearsing lines. When I finally call, her dad picks up. Confused, I ask to talk to her. He tells me she's in the middle of a driving lesson with him.
I'm now panicked. None of the scenarios I had played out in my head involved this. In my state of confusion I end up asking her dad to ask her out for me. He pauses... A looooooooooooong pause.
I can hear murmurs and giggling in the background.
He returns, "Sorry mate, better luck next time".
First time getting turned down in my life was by a middle aged man... At least he let me down easy.

“Infatuation” is always the only correct world
In grade 8 I asked my crush out and she told me "I'll think about it, ask me next week."
So I spent the week psyching myself up to ask again and when a week had passed and I asked she turned around and went "what!? I have a boyfriend!"
Guess she needed that week to find a good excuse...
Lol

I had a crush on a girl and my evil friend new that. One day we were doing prank calls during lunch and he called her place of work, made a death threat than used my full legal name and hung up.
Wtf omg
sounds like a top lad. buy him a Kingie from me.
I still remember when you were softcore
When I was in grade 6, I asked this boy out by giving him a note in the yard and then running away. At lunch time, he passed me a note back and said "so you wanna play paperweights do you?" I literally had to ask him three times to say the same thing before he finally gave up trying to explain it and just told me to open the note which said "okay" on it.
He broke up with me after about three weeks of not talking to each other and passing messages through our friends about how much we like each other. We also went to the school dance together but he pretty much ran away from me as soon as we paired off.
And then I held this big grade 6 party in my shed (the decor was just as you would imagine it to be) and I invited my best friend from the city. I was still trying to win him back at this point, impressing him with choreographed dance moves, and he seemed to be getting along really well with my best friend and I thought, "oh this is good, she can tell him what a catch I am".
About a week later I get an email (in green comic sans font) from my bff telling me that she and my ex "boyfriend" are in love and he wrote her a poem. According to my diary, this was the worst day of my life.
Green comic sans got me
at least you werent rejected at first or publicly humiliated
The final paragraph is gold. It's what really seals the deal on this one.
I remember playing Catch and Kiss in Primary School and running around for ages, until I finally realised that no-one was chasing me.

In primary school, me and my friend both had a crush on the same girl. He somehow convinced me that we both should scratch an "I love you" message into the side of the school shed.
I went first and scratched "Zack loves Jessie" onto the shed and before my mate did, a teacher caught us vandalising school property.
The principal was called and every kid nearby came to look at me getting told off and saw the message, including the girl I liked.
I was forced to apologise to the girl and I don't think I ever spoke to her again.
I moved schools next year (unrelated).

My embarrassing crush story:
I accidentally turned down a girl I had a crush on for *years* in high school. I'd convinced myself she was the one I was going to end up with long term, I saw every interaction with her as "progress", etc. Well it turns out that for a while, she actually liked me too. Her brother would literally walk past me at school and yell "my sister likes you!" but I just assumed he was trolling me or something.
Every time a sign came up that she might like me, I'd just explain it away as "I'm probably overthinking it" and would convince myself I was just seeing things.
Well, one day she got me alone on a train after school (her friends "suddenly and mysteriously" had to go to another carriage) and she was visibly pretty nervous. She said "hey, I was just wondering... do you have a crush on me?" and leaned in hopefully for my answer. That was it right there, that was my moment! But what did I do? I started rummaging through my school bag pretending I was looking for something, and changed the subject. She leaned back in her seat and looked visibly disappointed.
Now why did I do this, you ask? Because I'd heard the statistics of how unlikely relationships were to last if they started at that age, so I told myself we weren't ready yet. I was going to wait *five more years* until we'd left school before I made my move, because then it would last, I told myself. Of course, I waited so long that she eventually lost interest and we drifted away.
Yeah, teenage me had some odd ideas about love and relationships.
This is the most painfully hilarious self sabotage I've read in a really long time.
Thank you kind stranger for making me laugh at your expense.
Why? Just...why?
Damn, I feel your pain dude
In year 6 I asked a girl out, she said... and I quote, “say the f-word, I want a mature boyfriend”... I refused to say it out of fear of being told on... we ended up going to different high schools... in year 11 I found myself at a party and she was there and she looked amazing, so I walked up to her and her friends while I was off my face and said “FUCK, that’s the word... FUCK”... turns out she didn’t recognise me, and even if she did, there’s no way she would have remembered what she told me in year 6... I became the laughing stock at the party and Ubered home 5 minutes later
that's so sweet tho! );
That is most certainly the word
"Fuck"...
Oh my God, it's a two parter! 😂😂😂
Amazing story, I've definitely been there. Expecting them to get an inside joke and they have no idea what you're talking about.
The agony.
Why tell your crush you like them when you can just be a quiet self-hating coward instead
Well this sounds like the gay agenda
Lol
Because if you tell them, then you can have all your hopes and dreams crushed by the boot of some young girl you went to school with... duh 😂
Hahaha
Mood
- I was 17 and there was a cute girl a year or two older than me who just started working at the gym reception
- In an autistic attempt to make her notice me, I asked to buy something from behind the counter. A protein shaker bottle I think
- Amidst the exchange I somehow gained a surge of confident chad power, kind of like when Neo jumps across a building and Morpheus says 'he's beginning to believe'. I managed to get her to talk about herself
- She mentioned using the gym, and I said 'we'll have to partner up sometime' to which she smiled and said 'I could do with an exercise partner!'
- She extended her arm and held out her fist, and sure enough, I met her invitation and fist bumped her. Her expression completely changed to a look of disgust
- 'uhhh... I am handing you your change?' - she said, as she burst into a kind of laughter that not even a seasoned lawyer would have a rebuttal for
- I remember forcing a laugh as I said something incoherent which couldn't be heard over the banshee's harrowing scream, I then fumbled to open the automatic door which made her bellow harder, now attracting the attention of other gym staff. I walked away, fast.
The days that followed were a blur and I still think about it at least once a month. I'm 26 now
I was so terrible at talking to women that it legitimately stresses me out to a point where I feel sick just from thinking about my high school crushes it could almost be classified as ptsd at this point

I told my "best friend" about my crush in year 4, he and the rest of the class decided to play a joke on me by having her pretend to like me for the last two days of the school year. I was the happiest kid alive for a day when i thought she liked me. Then when she revealed the joke by kissing the class bully and declaring him her boy friend infront of everyone at recess on the final day of the year I was like ralph wiggum when he was dumped by lisa. whats worse is I was in a year 4/5 group and I was in the same class as all of them the following year. Its a pretty painful memory to be honest, dam you jordey.
Man, that hurts reading
Crush Story:
I think this was in year 1? I wanted to ask a girl named Kelly to marry me, I asked my Mum if I could buy a ring to ask her. She humoured me and said that a nice bracelet would work fine.
Fast forward to the next Monday and as I walk in to the school, I get pulled aside and yelled at by the Dad and told never to talk to her again.
Mum must have let someone know.
Thrown to the wolves by my Mum, verbally taken down from Kelly’s Dad and actively ignored by Kelly for the rest of the year. I didn’t last much longer at the school. Kenthurst Public School is still a place of horrors for me.
I too have a blast from the past story. In year 1 I tried to impress a girl by swearing like my dad. Spotted her at lunch under the playground, and Connor McGregor'd my way up to her with a big ego. Looked her dead in the eye and said "How the fuck are ya?". She immediately ran away and told a teacher, so I tried to hide under a slide and ended up losing my play time. Later on I got invited to her party though, so I guess it worked.
@@jackstricko2675 fuck I remember being in year 1, committing some heinous shit that meant some kid went to tell a teacher on me, and then just fleeing the scene to hide somewhere for all of lunch.
It'd be a great hiding spot too like I'd be crouched in a proper bunker for 40 minutes aged 9 - knowing some 50 year old art teacher was hunting me like a fugitive
once in year 8 i tried to leave early and told my mum i was coming home and said that a teacher told me it was ok then she called me back and said she had told the school and they said it was not ok so i got detention for two weeks and i think im on some kind of a watchlist now since many of my attempts have been foiled by teachers (im in year 9 now)
@@jackstricko2675 Losing play time is the roughest part of this.
I went to Kenthurst Primary school too for one year. How old r u bruh?
Also, crush story: was very proficient on the monkey bars as a kid. I specialised in waterfalls/double waterfalls. Tried to impress my crush by doing a triple waterfall (aka with three SOLID METAL BARS between my grade-1 arms), cacked it, and smashed my teeth into solid fucking metal. My best friend described it as “a mass of blood and tears and tears and blood”. I also once went up to this crush and called him “my sweet baboon”, in an imitation of that girl from Charlie Brown.
Beat that.
In year 7 I thought I would be romantic and write a love letter to my crush on school camp. Made her a bouquet of lollipops. She preceeded to eat the lollipop and read the letter to the whole year level.
Fuck that's rough
Feels bad bro

Tried to ask a girl out but i had no idea that she wasn’t straight. As I walked up to her to ask I saw her kissing my sister....
oooof man, that stings
Bruh u would've had to see her at your home as well
Ohhhhhhhhhh ouch
Regrettably in year 8 my friend convinced me that my crush would like me more if I was mean to her so me and him sent her insulting texts until her parents rang me and threatened me
In year 9 during english, the teacher wanted us to write a few cards out with nice things on them for other students.
My ADHD simp brain at the time, processed that as a chance to tell my crush what I thought about her.
I end up writing a full paragraph, struggling to fit words on the card, finally finish, times up.
Everyone's used single sentence compliments.
Crush gives me a pity smile (to which I thought "fuck") and the teacher has a go at me in front of everyone for only writing to one person, exposing me to the class.
Her friends laughed at me for 2 years after that.
13 years later and it still stings lmao
There was a bake sale at school so at break I bought my crush a cake with a heart on top and asked her out. Got a pretty resounding no, then as i turned away a someone knocked the cupcake out my hand with a football. I've had better days tbh

OMFG that's like a sitcom

@@Saintly My year 7 teacher hit two birds with one stone on note-passing. Whenever he intercepted a note he would "read it out" but would actually say something that was embarrassing for the note-passer but unbelievable so no one actually thought the note said it. The class would get a kick, the note-passer would feel sheepish enough not to do it again (for a while), but nobody got actually embarrassed. What a legend.

So cute. We spend so much time crushing but at that age we don't know what to do next.
@@jumbodude1987 see the comment under yours from me.
That’s how it works
Lmaaoo I did the exact same thing. We literally only communicated in text. Then we met up one day, I asked him out, he said “sure”. And then we never spoke again :p
I got two:
In year 10 I overcame my crippling awkwardness to kiss a girl at a party. Then when I tried to message her, I sent not one, not two, but three ‘Heyy x’s over the course of a few days. All of which were left on read. Rough as guts.
The other was year 12 when my mates were trying to coach me on what to say to a girl, and I ended up messaging her “I am the sidewinder”
I had a friend exactly like you, Sidewinder.
bro, you are the sidewinder. don't let her take that from you bro
Hey, at least you got the best AIM out of everyone

Crush Story:
Nervously asked my crush to our Year 10 Formal about 6 months before it happened, to which she said Yes. A few weeks before the Formal, she got back together with her Ex-Boyfriend so I figured it would be a good idea to check if we were still going together (we obviously weren't) to which she said, "Oh, I thought you were joking, sorry!"
😬
This brings back memories painful memories
Same dude

Year 6: Asked a year 7 girl I liked if she wanted to be my girlfriend, she declined and was nice about it but in an eruption of the extreme overflowing amount of awkwardness inside of me I literally ran away to the playground like a 5 year old. This left her confused and did wonders for my self-esteem.
Year 9: Sent a "do you have any feelings for me" text to my crush, she did not in fact like me back but we did bond over a shared love of subway.
Year 10: Confessed my admiration to a girl over text on valentines day, she was flattered and wanted to talk more and said we should meet up at school. I kept telling her I'd meet her while she did guitar practice all week and stood her up because I chickened out every time.
Year 11: Turned out the girl I liked was lesbian.
In grade 9 there was this girl, her and I were pretty close. So one day as the bell rang when school finished, the time when the whole school was walking to the carpark to get picked up, I asked her out. Instead of saying no or instead of ripping my heart out like bart in that simpsons episode (both of these options would have been better) she started laughing out loud and the whole school was just watching her laughing at me 😬
I got asked out as a joke in high school like once a month. Then it became an ingrained response to laugh, even if it was serious... I laughed so hard when one of my best friends asked me out seriously, that he was actually really upset and it affected our friendship badly. So maybe there are other beta high school girls like me who developed a weird Pavlovian response because of bullying?

Crush story: I can't believe I'm actually about to tell this story.
In year 6 I liked this girl and it turned out she liked me back but since relationships where taboo in my school I did the only thing that made sense...
My exact quote was "since dating would be weird at the moment, what are your thoughts on me asking you out a year in advance for highschool?"
As soon as highschool came around she had me blocked on all social media for 2 years. (we went to the same highschool and had mutual friends from primary school so the awkward cringe went on for many years)
In year three I ended up writing a parody to Paul Jennings' "Tongue-Tied " where I try to give my crush a fish as a present and at the end, we unintentionally kiss. Long story short, I got my teacher to read it to the class for show and tell to try and impress her and at the end of it, my crush is in the back of the room crying with her friends comforting her.
It's been 11 years now and I still cringe...
Damn son. In year 4 the hot new girl sat next to me for a couple of weeks before I had here in tears. She saw me drawing and asked me to draw a picture of her and her crush, who was my best mate. Even though I was devastated he was still my mate so I drew what my innocent 10yr old brain assumed boyfriends and girlfriends do and passed it to her expecting a thank you or a laugh. Instead she started bawling and gave it to the teacher (who already hated me) who then called me up to show the class what I'd done. I didn't know what I did wrong and nobody would talk to, or play with me for the rest of the year. I never got over it.
Jay that is rough.
@@Ran_Do it got worse. In year 7 every class was forced to take dance lessons in preparation for the end of year ball, or whatever the fuck it was called, and when the teacher split us up into "permanent" pairs for the next couple of weeks guess who they paired me with? When the teacher put us next to each other she looked at me like I was a pedo, then refused to touch me or even make eye contact until they forced her to put her hands on me. I had to dance with my first crush, who socially castrated me, turned the school and my best mate against me then spent weeks during practice intentionally making me feel like a leper to the point where I started faking "allergies" just so I didn't have to relive the most painful moment in my life. Fuck childhood.
Jay What on earth did you draw?
@@Joot_Doctor My father left when I was in nappies, so until he showed up on our door step when I was 10 I'd never seen an example of two consenting adults showing any kind of physical intimacy, let alone anything about sex. I was so happy to finally have a dad, but on the very night he appeared out of nowhere, my mom and dad started acting like they'd never been apart to the point of him cheekily placing his hand on her lower inner thigh which made her laugh and playfully push him away, not knowing me and my 6yr old sister were secretly watching them from the kitchen, over the moon with joy at the thought of having our dad back. It was then that the new girl, who I was convinced was into me since I made her laugh every day, asked me to draw a picture of her and her new "boyfriend". So, thinking quite innocently, I drew a picture of my mate with his hand on the inside of her leg just above the knee with her laughing and pushing him away. It wasn't pornigraphic, more of a charakature of what I thought was how adults display intimacy. I never got over the fallout of everyone hating me and not knowing what I'd done wrong.
In Year 8 a guy from another school I had a small crush on rang my house's landline to ask me out on a date. My dad picked up, grilled the shit out of him with questions and then asked to speak with his parents. Not off to a great start, but they said yeah ok they can go see a movie. I get to the shopping centre on the day and his two stern-looking parents were standing there. He was sweating bricks and I assumed his parents would leave. They hovered over us the whole time. I felt really intimidated so instead of seeing The Hunger Games we went to the Reject Shop and bought a barrel of slime from the toys section. We played with it on a bench in the shopping centre while his parents were on another bench further up the mall hallway surpervising. I spent the hour-long train ride home wondering what the fuck had just happened and texted him on Skype to say I didn't want to hang out again.
I'm going to say it as we are all thinking it, I don't really like the direction this Warhammer channel is going.

crush story:
when I was in primary school I had a crush crush on this girl for a while so i wanted to go talk to her instead of going the normal route I decided to sing "I was made for loving you" by kiss in front of my class while lining up for the next class and i don't think it really worked out to be honest
Crush Story:
In year 6 I had a crush on a girl who also liked me but I did the classic, savour the small victory and never go for the full asking her out.
In the school play I played one of the main characters who at the end of the performance had to confess my love for another character, you guessed it, it was her.
I came off stage after performing this in front of my parents (who also decided making fun of me for this was solid parenting) to a crowd of children giving me so much shit even Clive Palmer wouldn't be able to produce this much shit after 4 big macs which I assume is his morning snack.
All the kids starting chanting that I loved her to which I responded, "nah, I hate her, her hair smells..." the lamest excuse ever. She heard me say this then proceeded to never talk to me again.
PS. I saw her about 8 years later and she still ignored me. And she got realllllly hot in that time, devastated.
And I bet you to this day she has an obsession with making sure her hair smells ok.
And her name is Emma.

>"(who also decided making fun of me for this was solid parenting)"
Big mood. Every time I talked to a girl as a kid my mum would absolutely relentlessly mock me for it. It fucked me up big time in that department.
Had a Crush on a Girl in year 8 for the entire year. Was pretty confident she would say yes if I asked her out but I could never get her alone, her short little friend was always with her. So i just asked her out with my best mate at my side. She replied with "Are you F*cking crazy" and an awkward laugh... both my friend and hers were silent and it was never mentioned by anyone ever again until now. Really crushed my soul and damaged my self confidence to the point I never asked anyone out since ...I'm 25. Lucky My Girlfriend acted on her feelings or I'd still be alone XD
In year 9 there was this girl I liked, I was petrified to ask her out so I never tried. But one of her friends told me that she liked me, so I worked up the courage to ask her out. I asked her through Instagram, but little did I know that her friends had her phone at the time. I was unknowingly talking to her friends instead, and they said yes on her behalf. I was on cloud 9, but an hour later she messaged me saying that it was a mistake, and ‘technically’ broke up with me.
P.s I still get ridiculed about what happened to this day.
Holy shit dude
unstoppableExodia Yeah shit happens.

In Uni, i was on the recieving end of a curve ball. In a first year creative writing class, a girl in our group was too nervous to read her work out. It was holding us up so i offered to read it to the group for her. Too late i realised what she'd written about and ended up reading out erotic nazi themed fanfiction to everyone.
Next week, i sat down at my desk and she turned around to face me, looked me in the eyes and asked "What are we going to do about us? Because i don't want this to just be a fling".

I have a story but from the perspective of the one being crushed on. Had a good school mate who asked me out and I turned him down. He continued to be a good friend but kept making uncomfortably desperate passes at me. This culminated in me going to his place to check out Skyrim and him attempting to impress me with his sister's pet rabbit. Went out to look at the rabbit and it was dead and in full rigor mortis. Then I just sat there while his sister rushed home and had a breakdown saying she could never have a rabbit again.
We stayed friends though and he stopped his overtures when I came out to him. I don't let him forget about the rabbit incident though.
The guy I was dating broke up with me over facebook messenger, my friend knew he was going to break up with me before he messaged me.
Then I find out that he broke up with me because he wanted to date his stepsister. They had a pregnancy scare shortly after.
Im sorry WHAT
boy what a fuckin train ride that was

Dodged a bullet there 😲
In year 5 I asked my crush for his number when we were coincidentally alone together in the bag room. He actually said yes, but before he could write it down the rest of the class (at least 15 other students) walks in and starts up with the oooooo’s. I tried to cover it up by saying I wanted everyone’s number, but we all knew that was bullshit.
Never have I wanted the universe to destroy my soul so badly and I didn’t even end up getting what I asked for.

Crush Story:
I was friends with a girl who's parents knew my parents.
We knew each other for years and we were pushed into the same extra extracurricular activities (scouts, theatre etc.). I guess we just had very similar parents. Anyway, back onto the point... She would treat me like a brother at school. We never hanged out but we would chat. Her brother saw me comforting her and beat me up after school. He told me to stay away from her and I did so for the rest of primary school. I didn't approach her at all. I tried my best to avoid her, even though we would see each other every Thursday afternoon until about grade 9.
In grade 12 she and I somehow started speaking to each other. She asked why I stopped talking to her and I told her why.
She didn't know that I was beaten up. She told me that the kid who beat me up outside the bike racks in grade 7 wasn't her brother but the new kid. She told me how much of an annoying shit he was.
She then told me that she was sorry and we hugged. (She missed me, and I was happy to know that I was her adopted brother again. It's a stage feeling).
Anyway, after that, I was beaten up after school by her current boyfriend.
I closed up even more after that.
And this is why my parents think I am gay.
PS: Not really a Crush Story but there is probably another universe out there without that kid and her and I become a couple for the first few years of highschool.
Dude... I feel sorry for you...
Just know that adults don't punch each other. That shit's over after everyone finishes school. If you talk to or comfort a woman, her husband/boyfriend isn't going to thump you. Those kids who acted like dickheads in year 12 are suddenly all grown up in first year uni. It's weird.
Crush story:
In year 6 we had a birthday party where we played spin the bottle. I sat opposite of my crush hoping that the bottle would land on us. After a few rounds it landed on us and I looked at her and smiled. Then she screamed "yuck" out loud and almost started vomiting and the idea of us kissing.
doubt it ive seen that story somewhere else before
Where bro? It really happened to me since I was a fat kid back then
Oh that's brutal
In year 8, I used to catch the same bus home as my crush, and I remember this one fateful afternoon, she was sat behind me, talking to to this other boy from one of the neighboring schools. They we talking about what a lad our drama teacher was, and I thought that this was the perfect moment to make my move. So I turned around, peered through the gap between the seets dividing us and exclaimed "Mr. G IS THE BEST!" then immediately realised how awkward this was and went back to facing the front in absolute silence, listening to the audible chasm my interruption had left in their conversation as, I assume, they looked at each other in mutual bewilderment. To this day the cringe haunts my dreams.
Please tell me this was a Chris Lily reference :D
I'll never forget my crush running past me during kiss chasey.
Oof

I feel that. All 15 girls in my grade 3 class specifically ran from me during kiss chasey, and one literally cried when I caught her hand. I let her go and stayed in the boys toilets for a while alone to atone for my behaviour, shattered.
I remember a mate of mine asked out a girl in high school.
It was glorious, he'd been psyching himself up for weeks, mustering the courage to utter the words.
When he finally did, she simply replied "Who are you?", and her and all her friends laughed and walked away.
Brutal.
In primary school, I hanged out with my crush at the school fete and she kissed me in the line to the cha cha. On the playground the next day, she said that her new boyfriend was Owen, the guy who bullied me and my one friend constantly, and then kicked me in the balls and walked off with Owen. They hanged out for the rest of the year and I moved schools after that year.

Was in year 6. Had a crush on a girl that I sat across from. Someone told her, so I went and sat out in the rain and cried for an hour in the middle of class time, despite multiple attempts from my teacher and other classmates to get me to return.
Just as well I left the school after that year, and haven’t seen her since
Good times.

When I was in year four I had a MASSIVE crush on this girl. We were actually pretty close and were good friends and would hang out at lunch all the time. One time at lunch she asked me to come to the quietest corner of the school where nobody else was and asked me "What would you say if I told you I liked Charlie?". Me being the absolute chick whisperer that I was said "Huh, cool". About half a year later my family moved from Melbourne to Sydney so I completely lost that connection. Upon reflecting on my memories five years later, I put two and two together and realised that she liked me too and was trying to gauge my reaction. I still punch myself over it because she grew up to be the hottest girl I've ever met in my life. Call me a beta or whatever but even now, at almost 18 years of age, I still have a massive crush on her despite not only living in completely different states, but also me having a girlfriend of almost two years. EDIT: We have just broken up please don’t roast me Jordan

Was talking to a girl for a while and thought things were going well so I decided to ask her out... She turned around and said that she was only flirting with me to get my confidence up and had 0 interest in me. As you can guess, it did the EXACT opposite to what she thought it would do.

I have a few stories about emmbarrsing crushes I've had at school, but I'll keep it to one story in particular since I want to preserve my pride even somewhat.
My story came from when I was in year two, I had a rather big crush on one of my best friends at the time and it was a crush I had since kindergarten. One day I decided to invite him and another best friend of mine over to hang out for the day, and so that my crush could meet my other best friend. At some point my other best friend pulls me to the side and asks if I had a crush on him to which I obviously said yes thinking she wasn't going to do anything... I was wrong. When we were sitting down at the table for lunch almost immediately she turned to my crush and very loudly announced that I had a crush on him. A thick silence fell upon the room as my crush avoided any eye contact with me and continued to eat his food. I don't remember much about what happened after just that my crush had to be picked up earlier than usual and that we didn't speak again after that point since both of us were way too way too awkward about it to face eachother. I'm 21 now and still vividly remember how uncomfortable both my crush and I were to this day, the real kicker was i found out that he at some point had a crush on me too.
That's not the worst story I actually have three other ones which are worse, but this one doesn't make me want to crawl into a hole. Just lets just say I've never exactly been the most smooth Woman alive
In year 7, a guy in my year asked me out at lunch time with two of his mates spying on us around a corner like gremlins. I said yes, but we FISTBUMPED over it, like some year 7 treaty.
Fistbumping is the best way to seal any deal, clearly you two were meant for each other.

Bruh, Mad crush on this girl for ages, in year 9 finally decide it's ask her out day, tell my boys i'll do it on the train back from school,. boys Hype TF out of it for the rest of the day.
Eventually try to ask her on the train, mumble a few things, have my legs literally go weak so I fell into the train seat next to her, then mumbled sorry, and GTFO. /boys are hysterical and roast the shit out of me.
Proceeded to be in the friendzone and watch her date my mates for the rest of HS. 10/10
I looked it up so you don't have to:
'Degloving' refers to when the top layers of your skin are torn from the muscle tissue underneath, so much so that bone and cartilage is visible.
Yeah look too late not eating for a little while
I told this girl how I felt in year 10. We hung out a few times, she later invited me to a party and hooked up with one of my friends.
My whole schooling experience is a series of unfortunate events. I have always been a bit of a awkward guy, and this was especially true up until about uni.
1) In grade 5, in classic fashion the boys were talking about girls that they liked. I of course said that I loved somebody in my year because at the time I had zero emotional intelligence. It was pretty awkward between us for the rest of primary school. To the point where I would actively avoid her, so as not to embarrass myself. I did get to hold her hand one time during production, that was the happiest I had been during primary school.
2) I liked a girl (J) between year 8-10, there was another awkward friend of mine (T) who also liked her. We ended up sitting together a lot of the time, us two guys, the girl and one of her friends in classes. One time we went to a school fair together, that being myself, the other guy and the girl. Most awkward 'date' I've ever been on. I asked her out to a Deb Ball, and we had fun, but at this point it was pretty clear that I was being friendzoned. So I made a decision to ask her out at a friend's new year's party. I got rejected, and then at the start of the next school year, she started going out with one of my chad friends (P). I said I was cool with it, and I was happy for them, but it still hurt like a motherfucker.
3) Not my story but P and T from story 2 had a 'confrontation' regarding a different girl they both liked (L). This resulted in T challenging P to a 'battle at sunset' for the affections of L, a meme which has still not died in my friend group 8 years later.
4) This one involves my two highschool best friends, M1 and M2. M1 is my homie to this day, whereas M2 drifted away. M1 and I were good friends with M2 and I had a bit of a crush on M2. We did everything together, but it was clear there was chemistry between M1 and M2, so I stepped aside to let it happen. Pushing them along together, as did most of my friend group. M2 actually had a crush on M1, but we all assumed that M1 had a crush on M2 as well. That's when N came into the picture. During a photoshoot for an art class project that I was pulled into to support M2 in her lovelife. N pulled me to the side when M1 and M2 were out getting stuff setup. Asking for my support as she also liked M1, I agreed. Which left me in a bit of pickle, I said I would support both, had a crush on one, and had no idea what my boy M1 was thinking. Photoshoot came and went. M1 was in crisis so I pushed everything to the side for a night to help him sort out his feelings. I didn't think he and N would make a good couple, but I talked to him to hear what he thought. He told me that in the end, he liked N, but really didn't want to break M2's heart. I told him to follow his heart and he did. M2 would not speak to M1 for 6 months afterwards. It was a highschool version of the cold war, with high tensions, proxy wars and everything. Seeing as they were both pretty key members of our friendgroup this made things a TAD awkward. M1 and N went out for a month, then went their separate ways. If you think that was confusing to read, imagine living it.
5) Now for the one I am most embarrassed by. The last of my high school crush woes. I had a major crush on one of my friends (J2), who had transferred into the school in year 10. She was pretty, smart, funny and also was into video games and anime. I got some encouragement from my friends to ask her out. So I did. I asked her out on fucking SNAPCHAT. SNAPCHAT! I wrote up a 'love letter' on snapchat, with the thought that hey, if she rejects me there will be no evidence of it, and we can put water under the bridge. What a fucking mistake. She rejected me of course, thank god. I realised the moment I sent that message what an absolute idiot I was. Lo and behold, as a result we have managed to stay good friends, she even helped me with later romantic endeavours. At some point I just stopped seeing her that way, and we became close friends as a result. That doesn't lessen how much of a fucking idiot I was.
In year 8, I would constantly fight with my "gf" at the time via email as we were too nervous to talk in person. A legendary email of the decade from her: "if u h8 me dont d8 me"
I spent a year in year 8 getting hyped up by her friends and my friends to ask this girl out. I asked her out at the end of PE and she forgot how to speak and just started crying which made me cry and then everyone just started staring at us and getting mad at me for making her cry
In year 8, awkwardly growing manchild had a really big crush on the foreign exchange student who was in from the Czech Republic. I told my mates about it one morning. They spent period 0 to period 3 peer pressuring / hyping me up into saying something. We all shared french together and my friends, to their credit, got me sitting next to her. I essentially start wimping out and one of my friends just randomly stepped up and said 'HEY, he's got something to say to you!'. She looks up at me, expecting to say something.
Two things to note. She didn't speak a whole lot of english, and she was wearing a full face of make up that was a bit on the heavy side
whilst panicking, i looked her up and down and while trying to give her a compliment on something noticed a HUGE reflection of light in her make up.
'You, uh, really have a shiny face'
The room erupts with laughter and she looks PISSED.
I moved and swiftly repressed that memory to this day.

Hah! High school EMT1, it's called an 'avulsion', and the book had a picture of the injury... on a penis. Yup ...
First time I asked a girl out went pretty wrong, she went to Thailand for a few months every summer, I’d had a crush for a while and realised I was out of time so on one of her last days at school I asked her out at the end of the day, a fair amount of our class mates were around, her response was to not make eye contact with me and say “oh god” and her mate hold in laughter, I realised I dun fucked up, went back round the corner to find three of my mates, all called James, laugh till they nearly died, one of which was laughing so hard he fell over, smacked his head on a bench, and still kept laughing. He ignored actual head pain just to laugh at me. Kind of explains my reluctance to act on feelings for years
When I was in grade 6 I 'asked a girl out' at the start of the year we proceeded to be boyfriend and girlfriend for a year problem was apart from asking her out that one time I think I talked to her in person like twice. She then 'broke up with me' on the last day of school.
Bro I’m not even kidding, the exact same fucking thing happened to me 😂 I’m pretty sure we talked about 5 times in total, then she broke up with me because of high school
its been more than 2 years, i think we need another one of these
One of my mates decided one day in yr 10 to ask a girl out, which he had a crush on since yr 7. Her response was “*Laughing* oh wait your serious?” This was also in front of myself, all of my other mates and her friends.
In year 7, one of my mates wrote a 500 page letter to his crush, was too scared to give it to her, so he gave it to one of her mates to give to his crush. At the end of the day, he runs up to her, asks if she read the letter, and she says “yeah but I don’t really like you” or something like this. After this man poured his heart out, using quotes like “just being around you makes me better” and “you are just gorgeous, the most beautiful person I have met”, he just got shut down, then ran off to catch his bus.
In yr 11 I had a crush on a girl who obviously had a crush on me too, but I was focussed on doing well for the HSC (Asian selective school kid mindset). She tried making a move on me when we were studying in the private space at our school library. I froze up and was like that old guy in that Danish porno who was like "no don't do it; Ima virgin". I said "no" and pushed her sway, rationalising myself as an intense desire to study and do well. The stupid thing was that i didn't want her to stop being interested in me and for some reason I believed I could that by telling her I had a girlfriend who went to fucking St George HS. Needless to say, it didn't work very well.
I remember asking this one girl out. She said something along the lines of "but i thought you were gay" I was not.
Thanks for that one Tom
Speaking of Tic Tacs - One time I was walking down the hill to class and I saw the guy I liked going the other way. I gave him a big smile and said hey, forgetting I had a mouthful of tictacs at the time.
They spilled out, and for a brief moment he probably thought I was losing my teeth 😂 I still cringe when I think about it 15 years later.
This happened in year 6, and it's honestly scarred me for life:
It was the first crush I'd ever had...One day during lunchtime at school my friends and I were all playing truth or dare with my crush (so you can obviously guess what happened next). I picked truth, and my 'friends' asked who my crush was, knowing full well that he was right there...so I did what any distraught tween would do and froze before fleeing the scene...pretty sure I ran to the opposite end of the school and just like...cried lol.
The worst part of the story though, is that they ended up telling him, and then, when everyone was lining up to go back into class after lunch...in front of everyone...he pretended to like me, an my dumb little twelvie brain believed him, and then he was just like "haha lol nah why would I like you?" It was fantastic...since then I've kept all of my crushes secret in fear that a similar thing would happen lmao
I used to walk home with a girl every day after school after about a year I managed to muster up the confidence to ask her out on that same day she asked me if my best friend was ever going to walk home with us so that she could ask him out. Then one day that I was sick they walked home together and ended up dating for the next 3 months.
Ok, 18 years is long enough to finally talk about my repressed embarrassment I guess...year 7, I really like a girl, but because I was a ballsy teenage boy (just kidding, I was the epitome of beta-male) I waited until the end of first term to find her address and send her a love letter, listing in cringey detail why she should say "yes," and telling her to not tell anyone I wrote it. I spent the majority of the break hoping that it either went to the wrong address, or that by the time school resumed that she'd forget about it.
Day 1 of term 2, I discovered that she in fact had not forgotten, and neither did her friends. They tormented me over it for the two weeks following.
Fast forward 6 weeks or so, she and I are alone briefly in class. She asks me if I still liked her. Of course I did, but remembering the humiliation from the previous admission, I promptly said "no," and pretended I urgently needed to work on my school work.
Year 12, we catch up, and I learned she'd kept the letter.
I liked this boy since kindy so in year 5 i decided to pipe up and tell him. I wrote him a love poem on a love heart sticky note. I went to pass it to him in class and the teacher caught me and took it. she then read the thing out the the whole class and everyone laughed at me. lost all my confidence on that day
what is wrong with teachers?
Had the guts to ask someone out when I was in Year 11. First time I ever told a crush that I liked them. Was essentially bullied for it for over a year, and not in a joking manner either. I had friends of hers, who I didn't know, who would mock me for it.
Never did it again.
Basically the same for me but I was in grade 4
Dude, I have no idea if you're still reading the comments but I have some GEMS:
When I went to my year 10 formal I took a girl I'd liked forever, spent the whole time panicking and asking her if she was having a good time (she obviously was AND she repeatedly said yes). A few days later her friend asked me if she has a good and I said 'No she didn't I was awful the whole time and she looked insanely bored'. She called to yell at me about it then never spoke to me again.
There was a girl I liked, and after I'd told her we would call each other every night and talk to each other for half hour or so, eventually when one of her friends confronted me about having not asked her out (with her in tow) I said no and that I wouldn't embarrass her like that and that we barely ever talk or know each other. She ALSO yelled at me about it and it was a bummer cause she was pretty gosh darn great.
There was another that I used to get drunk with and we'd pass out next to each other, after about 5 years of shenanigans I asked her if she wanted to hook up. She said no but if I'd asked anytime in the last few year she would have been all over that. I said 'okay', rolled over and passed out. I found out later she wanted to be convinced :|
I have probably a dozen more, I was seriously impaired by anxiety as a teenager, but blessed with good looks. So the tales are both numerous and GLORIOUS
Only cool thing i could do as a kid was backflips into a pool, so at yr8 swimming carnival i spent all day thinking of doing a backflip into the pool after all the races were done. Teacher called free swim time, i ran up to the edge of the pool went to do a backflip, slipped on the edge, landed on my back winding myself and a teacher had to drag my struggling ass out of the pool, all i remember is my crush and her friends laughing at me.. Still haunts me to this day, im 32 next month...
I'm a bi girl and in grade 7 I was going to this christian school and at the time I was still in the closet but had a crush on this one girl named Brianna. During a sleepover I asked Brianna what she thought of gay people, hoping to ask her out or smth, and she said that they were gross and she would never ever kiss a girl.
A couple months ago I saw on instagram that she now has a girlfriend.
Asked a crush out in grade 5 over msn and while all my mates were peering over my shoulder she responds with eww gross and then just mashes the keyboard like she was trying to entirely erase my existence
Honestly dont think ive ever recovered
Crush Story: In year 11 I fell for a girl that was one of my best friends, we'd hang out all the time and everyone thought we were dating. I decided to ask her out and she hit me with "you'd be a great boyfriend, just not my boyfriend".... yeah I guess you could say high school was fun
During year 10 homegroup I was fretting about some homework that was due during the next period that I had not completed. Then, while distractedly complaining to my friends, I heard my teacher ask for two people from the class to volunteer for school roll call duty (basically a get-out-of-class-free card). So I jumped to my feet yelling ME, ME, ME, happy as a clam as all my prayers had been answered. That happiness quickly turned to bitter shame as I noticed everyone else in the class were smugly looking toward me as I suddenly realised that the only other person that had volunteered was my crush.
This still keeps my up an night...
I was in year 7 and asked a girl out who had an identical twin sister. I asked the wrong one and called her by her sisters name. I almost begged her not to tell her sister and she actually didn't. I asked the correct sister out this time and she said yes... shortest relationship Ive ever had. Went for 30 minutes, she caught on and dumped me at the end of lunch. I have so many embarrassing stories from my school days it's not even funny. Just hurts to think about the cringe.
I can't believe I'm actually about to tell this story...
So my primary school was really really small and any romance was taboo to say the least.
In year 6 I had a crush on this girl.
So after school one day it was just me and her talking alone and she eventually confess that she liked me back. (I know it sounds like I'm bragging but keep reading).
And then since romance was taboo I did the only thing that made sense... My exact quote was "since dating would be weird at the moment, what do you think about the idea of me asking you out a year in advance for highschool?"
For the first 2 years of highschool she had me blocked on literally every form of social media
1st grade. My best friend and I were talking in class about who we liked. He said he'd tell me his crush only if I said mine first.
Not thinking about it I told him "I like Hannah".
The next thing I hear is the entire class bursting out in laughter and Hannah scream "Eww Gross" before realizing the friend I was talking to was sitting at the other end of the classroom.
In like year 8, I had this MASSIVE crush on this guy and I convinced myself that the BEST way to ask him out was over skype, on Christmas Eve. I sent him the video to 'All I Want for Christmas is You' to which he obviously declined. Still liked him for 2 years after that.
