Post dumb IG stories just to see if she viewed.
So Ill sometimes purposely send a wrong Snapchat to someone if I want their attention.
Like Ill get dressed up and send a Snapchat like, Is this cute for a lunch date?

She mentioned off hand that she was reading the Hunger Games.
So naturally I read the entire trilogy and then tried to bring it up in conversation.
She wasnt into me and that certainly did not help.
That mistake lasted 15 years after 14 year old me moved on from that crush.
4.Im not proud of it but … 5.Purposely avoided talking to her.
Still know her now, still kind of have feelings for her now, still rarely talk to her.
6.Post dumb IG stories just to see if she viewed.
7.I wore this gorgeous floor-length lace dress to his World Cup party.
8.I liked a boy in the seventh grade.
Every day I would buy a Gatorade and pretend I couldnt open it and ask him to.
One day I did open and panicked.
He called out on how easy it was to open and looked like it had already been opened.
I wanted to climb under the bleachers.
9.Pretended that I didnt give a shit about them or that I was madly attracted to them.
Guess how many times it worked?
Still doing it at 21.
Ended up working at a video store and met a very good looking girl checking out a movie.
Its been years now but I still feel like a creep for doing that.
12.Became a fan of Aerosmith because he used to wear an Aerosmith tee shirt all the time.
This was around the time Get a Grip came out, so like mid nineties.
To this day I change the radio station when Aerosmith comes on.
13.Threw my hair at them.
14.My crush was a kid who lived down the block from my house.
He said he saw me take him out of the yard.
I avoided him after that.
For a few weeks in a row I bought more books, magazines and newspapers than I usually would.
She saidthanks, but no thanks.
That was the hardest walk away from a register I ever had.
17.Died my hair black.
Already had the long on top high and tight going on, this just added to the bullshit.
18.Like their instagram photos from years ago and re-like them every day.
Should I ask somebody what her last name is?
… Didnt find her.
21.Tried to start a fight with a dude she was more interested in.
Swore up and down to my crush that it wasnt about her.
It was totally about her.
I gave it to him and said it was a lucky charm to help him get good grades.
A month later he fucked my best friend.
24.I messaged him multiple times on Facebook going Hi.
Oops, wrong person!
Each time he was polite about it, but Im sure he caught on.
I look back and want to smack my younger self in the face for that.
25.Freshman year of college- crawled into his bed (top bunk) while he was sleeping.
Felt bad, man.
27.The 17-YO sad and awkward me basically fell straight into the friendzone.
Later that year, he got drunk and called me.
Somewhere in the drunken rambling he casually said love ya.
Youd not make a deal of that right?
I called him the next day to remind him he said this, and thats not all.
I then followed it up with..
I love you, too.
So, an awkward conversation later I went on to avoid him for the next year or so.
28.I looked up where she lived and casually talked about the name of her street.
29.I watched 4 seasons of a shitty show she liked.
I was trying to be smooth but was drunk af and forgot I was sitting to his left.
Somehow, hes been putting up with this kind of shit to this date.
31.I had a huge crush on this girl in my health class in high school.
I so badly wanted to hit on her but I couldnt find the courage to do it.
Ill give you half the money if you let me do it.
She gives me a bit of a weird look but agrees.
Audible enough to give off the impression my friends were watching this cringeworthy exchange take place.
She awkwardly thanks me, I slip her two dollars, and we part ways.
32.In high school I tried to deep throat a burrito in front of my crush.
Idk, 14 year old me thought that would be sexy or something?
Freshman year was a tough one.
He wasnt in the class that we shared.
Found him at lunch and offered him some cookies.
He didnt want any.
At least I was very popular at school for that day, albeit weird.
34.I guess its not as bad as the rest, but my cringiest story actually worked, so… She just met him because they live on the same floor in residence.
Shes convinced well be fast friends.
So finally, we all make plans to go watch the school rugby team play one afternoon.
And thats when I decide to ask him if he knew the rules to rugby.
But I couldnt think of any other excuse to have an extended conversation with him, and Idesperatelywanted to.
Anyway, weve been together 11 years and just celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary.
Also yes, I did eventually admit to him that I completely lied about the rugby thing.
Youre Beautiful by James Blunt.
It was… not subtle.
36.In high school, I learned tuba just to impress a girl cause she said she likes tubas.
Turns out she only said that cause she was currently dating a tubist.
I hate middle school me.
39.Leaned over in English class every day and copied his handwriting until ours matched.
40.I would yell a lot and be extremely loud when around them.
41.Back when I was in middle school I had a crush and this girl.
She hated it and told everybody, and showed them the copy I gave her.
This did not help my bullying.
I still die from thinking about the cringe.
42.In elementary, I went to school with a couple dudes that were very gymnastically inclined.
They would do a double backflip off the swings instead of just one.
They would do flips off the monkey bars, standing back flips, wall flips, you name it.
The girls loved them, they would sit and be an audience for these guys every lunch almost.
Boom guy #1 comes running through; hand spring, cartwheel, back flip, back flip.
Guy #2 comes bolting behind him; cartwheel into ariel, into backflip.
43.I was 15 and I had a crush on this boy for two years.
One day a friend of mine told me that he was about to ask me out.
Are you new in school?
He instantly turned around and left.
Looking back, I was being an asshole and straight up making fun of him.
Poor guy took it like a champ, but fucking hell I had no idea how to be social.
45.In 12th grade I had a huge crush on this guy in one of my classes.
46.We had a foreign exchange student my Freshman year of High school.
She was French and absolutely gorgeous, so naturally, all of us boys were smitten with her.
So, I busted my ass and learned a love song from a very popular French Opera.
It took me a really long time to memorize and I thought it would be a bold gesture.
Well.. That day, I found out that she was Swedish, not French.
47.Told her on AIM I had a crush on someone.
When she asked who?
I waited a bit then typed you and signed off dramatically.
We did not get married.
48.Called crushs phone every 60 seconds for an hour (no answer, repeat).
I figured shed pick up once she got home and I wanted to talk to her ASAP.
After about the 60th time she picked up and screamed WHAT!?!?!?!?!
She didnt buy it of course.
This one still keeps me up at night 30 years later.
49.I used to poledance on a lamppost outside a boys house when I was 13.
She sent the dog outside and said You should leave.
My dog is outside hes pretty mean.
