redditors who have met a former crush years later how did it turn out found out she was fat and unattractive then I realized I was too ran into her some years later in our mid-twenties at a New Year's party we both were just recently single and started to click eventually we both confess to a mutual crush in high school then as the night went on and beer float she jerked off two random guys in the living room edit Olli karma juju jr. is a b TCH good we had tacos then d bull stuff in my car behind tackle and haven't spoken since hadn't seen her in 15 years ran into each other online decided to meet up for dinner married now for five years and one kid I liked her when we were fifteen but she wasn't nice to me I ran into her when we were 23 and she looked so old I didn't recognize her when she realized I didn't recognize her she began to cry and ran to the bathroom never saw her again update thanks for all the questions I had rather sad answers to most of you one we definitely weren't at Taco Bell acha the aphrodite of fast foods too and confident she wasn't a faceless man who was accidentally named by her friend he always said come on I want to be a cop I'll never be a freakin firefighter firefighters of pea-sized cops are the real men he became an army firefighter but instead of being humbled he's still a total douche had a crush on her all through freshman and sophomore year she kissed me at the end of sophomore year I failed to reciprocate basically ran away from her extreme social anxiety it switched schools our to disappearing for the summer not because of the kiss but when school started again I walked to her school every day for half of the year in hopes of having the balls to make a move saw her each day filled each day she obviously got tired of waiting ended up with another guy I gave up come end of senior year she shows up at my school to see some guy saw me literally jumped into my arms and forced her phone number on me together seven years come November I proposed to her around a week ago edit thank you for the gold you amazing person I did too for those who have asked she said yes though the proposal was more of a discussion of the ring I am trying to have made for her social awkwardness FTW when I was in first year I had the stupidest little girl crush on this guy in my program and I had no idea how to express it so I think I thoroughly creeped him out with my staring and pathetic attempts to get him to have coffee with me and such anyway that was eight years ago and I've really matured as a person since then I hadn't even thought of him in years when I ran into him I was actually excited to find out he worked at a store I was planning to go to I thought I can finally have a normal conversation with crash you'll see I'm not a creepy weirdo anymore anyway when I ran into him our conversation went like this me c'mon hey crush how's it going him coma good thanks how are you me c'mon good thanks how're you and then it just spiraled into awkwardness from there guess some people just bring it out of me went out for drinks still fixated on her with given a chance got wasted and embarrass myself by spending so much of the night talking about how much my younger self liked extolling her virtues like it was years ago mention how crazy and awesome it was that I was finally getting my chance it was sad as tea I didn't realize how bad I flicked up until I sobered up woke up and immediately knew I would not be given a second opportunity saw her reactions and responses from the previous night whether sober I realized the massive amount of I'm going to be polite but I've made a mistake that was continuously written across her face embarrassing Oh sh t it seems that the girls I was chasing in high school if I see them now it's like I don't see what the big deal was and then the girls I wasn't chasing but in retrospect should have been are all insanely gorgeous funny smart if I had a time machine I'd go back and punch fifteen-year-old me right in the beanbag idiot ran into my high school crush because we were both on the same plane and seated across the aisle from each other she's a lesbian now let's see met her when I was 13 we totally crushed fast forward to when we're both 23 she has a kid from a previous marriage but it didn't bother me got married she cheated tried to take me for child support for her daughter whose stroke ten would not recommend her last name is very close to mine so throughout high school our lockers were together all we have seats in class next to each other she was a cheerleader incredibly hot and also a cool person we were friends but nothing close I ran into her 4 years later she dropped out of college and his waiting tables now but he got even hotter still a really nice girl though edit sorry to disappoint guys but no oral at Taco Bell was involved people keep asking if I asked her out and no I didn't I've had a girlfriend for over two years no we didn't hook up at a Taco Bell ever had drinks went back to her hotel basically did not leave it for two days we started a small thing when we were around 17 years old didn't work out cause she was spoiled and I was pretty heartless [ __ ] fast forward a few relationships for us both 11 years of growth and she came back into my life a few months ago we're dating and life is pretty good now couldn't ask for anything more sometimes it's the right person but the wrong time my wife's former crush randomly messaged her on Facebook one day she flicked him on day two she's now my ex-wife she's jobless living with his mom and I have the kids she works at a supermarket near me I said hi one time and have since avoided using it because I'm not the best with repeated social interaction edit thanks for all the helpful tips guys but I avoid her because I don't want to do though hey what's up how you doing faked an interest in their life interaction really I'm all good socially mostly she was in my class back in kindergarten in my class again in third grade showed her my boxes and she was now my girlfriend then I discovered she cheated on me with my best friend I saw him showing her his underwear needless to say I've moved on from that he'll Benz in my life but if you are out there Oliviero mad trick you will likely be buried forever but what the hell had a crush on this girl in grade school 1 st 2nd play dates video games action figures life was good water are present at a 5 and 10 because I thought she'd like it it was a ring she was ultra embarrassed and ran off my parents still have not let me forget that she changed schools for other reasons that next year fast forward 14 years graduated from undergrad working for a company in my hometown and working on getting accepted to medical school out for drinks one night with friends and who should come by that her beautiful great taste in music smiles at my jokes Smitty fast forward several more years gave her a ring again she did not run away happily married several years saw her at the 10-year HS reunion she was a bit heavier than she'd been an HS but still attractive he was there with her Ivy League films a registered sign these two facts combined to change my mindset from I want to bang my HS crush at our reunion to oh well never mind at one point we were being recognized for something and with all eyes on us she leaned over and said oh ma I remember what's a crush you had on me you wanted me bad first I couldn't really react given the immediate circumstances second I didn't detect any kind of Taco Bell type invitation in one she'd sent sorry in fact it almost seemed like she was just lording it over me I mean she was there with her films a registered sign who he determined in previous small talk Sheila Ogden who was awesome for some reason it really P said me off I just gave her a blank look shrugged and walked away to this day I wish I'd had some kind of witty comeback but that's about my only regret haven't seen her since but I hope she's happy and blah blah blah got Thai food hung out courts are pretty chill would still freak her brains out but I don't think she's into it we're married now had mega crush in high school finally contacted him six years later since I knew him back then and we haven't been apart since now we have been together for four years married for one and have a baby on the way dreams really do come true I don't care how cheesy that sounds I was in love with him for most of my lower teenage years he was my best friend but I broke it off when I found out he'd been talking sh t behind my back I never thought he meant what he said about me but I do know he was desperate to be liked by people and didn't mind tingle made a seem cooler to them of course the people he talked to told me about it I sent him a handwritten letter explaining what I'd heard and also that I was still in love with him and couldn't be just friends we met up when I was 19 about three years since we last seen each other he was as charming as he'd always been and I realized how quickly we fell back into our previous roles him being cool but kind of an [ __ ] and me hanging off his every word I'm happy we met up because it gave me some closure to realize I didn't feel the same as I did about him and that he was even more of an [ __ ] I still think about him sometimes but much more soberly than I did when we still hung out [Music] crushed hard and competed for a really cute girl in college but when she moved in with him I closed the door on things he is later she sought me out on Facebook is apparently for her I was the one that got away it lead to a tawdry on-again off-again mostly s sort of tryst in which we determined the things we did best were fighting or airline which we cycled through quarterly until about a four year break due to mutual animosity we made up had an amazing year and broke up again in a heart wrenching explosion that stinks to this day we had a beer talked a bit it was nice she was even hotter than before I was now swell made decent money decent haircut clothes etc thought I had a shot I clean up real good she never called me back when I asked her to go to a show last I looked on Facebook she's married now that was like six or seven years ago how I just quietly weep in the dark and drink and watch Netflix don't go out much anymore thanks Opie for reminding me jackass super we originally met my freshman year of high school his senior year three years later we met again I still had a crush we became really good friends then started dating after I graduated we are now married and had been for over two years tried to pull an ultimatum on me in high school do this all there over dot I called her Bluff and that's how our relationship ended tennis years later we're both single and I visit on a lark turns out she's sleeping with a divorced man and trying to get him to abandon his wife and daughter yeah also her apartment was absolutely filthy I mean I'm no prize but I've tried to ruin exactly zero families good we've been dating for almost a year now he was my crush back in junior high he didn't even know me he was in the french stream i was in english we connected over ten years later on tinder he asked what my spirit animal was and I said Iggy Azalea and that was that I wasn't all that interested in him when we went out but for some reason it worked out I didn't tell him until our fifth date that I already knew him from before he looks like a taller version of what he did back then it's a little weird I had a crush on ur the daughter of my mom's friend when I was about 10 years we would hang out a lot sometimes all night when our moms were working together at the coat-check of the restaurant my dad valid for she was definitely my first big crush but I was a shy awkward kid I remember one of the last times we hung out he gave her my favorite Lion King trading card because I liked her after round mom's got new jobs we didn't see each other anymore the next time I saw her was when we were 18 she was really different and even though she was still really cute I didn't feel the same way about her we talked for a bit and caught up she showed me pictures of her son apparently she had gotten pregnant when she was 17 and had a beautiful baby boy that her mom looks after so she could finish school it was a nice experience especially finding out what she had been up till all those years had a crush on the high school QB and his family was royalty in my school it was a very small town that worships football and his family had been players going back four generations or something like that common but in terms of popularity this guy wasn't just out of my league he was out of my stratosphere fast forward ten years I'm newly single and he looks me up on the book flirting plus admitting I had a huge crush on him in school equals date F in score for me there ya know I get to his place and he's living in a 300 square foot box still driving that 89 pickup from HS talking about how he was a king sh t still caught up in being worshipped in school and clearly couldn't grasp why the real world didn't do the same can you believe ribbit but he actually had to prove himself the goddamn nerve of his boss ate dinner the man did grill one helluva steak and looked out all through elementary and middle school I was absolutely enamored with this one girl as kids in elementary school we did that food see bf/gf thing without actually being in a relationship I thought we would get married and have like a thousand kids in middle school she became a bad kid I guess she had some trouble at home and her entire demeanor shifted during summer she became an emo kid started hanging out with the kids who go arrested and was in and out of the principal's office non-stop I still tried hanging out with her because I was still crushing hard but we were just too different now I was into awkward masturbation and rune escape she was into hot topic and giving hand jobs to high schoolers behind the gas station eventually she was sent to juvie and that was the last I heard of her fast forward to a few weeks ago I'm home on summer break from college and I find her on tinder we match and talked for a few days she ended up getting knocked up in HS and dropping out due to being a single more she mentions meeting up for some coffee and maybe a movie of her place I just unmatched her something about seeing how she turned out just ruined the illusion for me ever since the sixth grade I had always had a huge crush on this guy Weill Cole Michael Michael and I sat next to each other in math class and became good friends one day after class I thought I had worked up the courage to tell him how I felt I remember walking to our lockers together and me saying something along the lines of coma I have to tell you something I like you just kidding followed by me running away to get sick in the bathroom I totally chickened out halfway though fast forward to high school Michael and I are still acquaintances and I am of course still crushing eventually in 11th grade Michael asks me out on a date and I am stoked come to find out he is the worst kisser ever and I still don't care we casually go on dates here and there through our junior and senior year I had always hoped that we could have become more but it was never serious and he often went out with other girls during my senior year in college I end up reconnecting with Michael over Facebook he asked me out and I couldn't have been more excited hoping to maybe finally end up with this guy that I had placed on a pedestal for so long long story short he took me out to dinner at Applebee's and invited me back to his place to watch a movie within the first five minutes he starts trying to make a move I was surprised to find out that his kissing skills had not gotten any better but whatever this was Michael well as this goes on he starts trying to take my clothes off and I politely decline he says he understands and goes back to kissing 30 seconds later he is at it again trying to undress me and get on top of me I keep telling him though and he just keeps trying he's going on and on , I really like you come on I think we could really work out come on after this keeps happening over the course of the next five minutes I decide I need to leave he is unhappy about it and asks if he can see me again and I say kkoma up sure I get out of there and haven't seen or talked to him since he did text me a few times after that but I just had no interest reconnected with the one that got away we were in the beginning of a relationship in high school about 17 and she moved the unexpectedly was devastated but through chance mutual friend we connected with her we were 23 or so first date seeing each other was great for the both of us and it seemed like we were connecting beautifully worked up whispered sweet nothings and had some great sx then reality set in and we took a road trip together where she became a crazy b tch she seemed to have a prescription pill addiction which was likely the source the takeaway is that we generally remember the things we want to about people and I always thought about meeting her again we did try to reconnect one last time but she went full psycho she called or texted me about a year or so ago we reconnected probably three years ago wasn't going to deal with her again and was glad I ignored deleted her number edit begging to beginning starting way back in sixth grade I always had a crush on a girl who will call Suzanne for the Weezer fans out there we were both horribly awkward as you are at that agent would never make a move on one another it didn't help that we both had some self-esteem issues but who didn't at that age eventually in high school I ended up basically giving up after her best friend who will call Megan told me that Suzanne didn't like me turns out Megan was a manipulative psycho who also had a crush on me and we ended up dating for around a year until I realized that at 16 she was already planning our wedding fast forward a few years and all of us went our different ways for college I still kept in touch with Suzanne but we both ended up in serious relationships with other people apparently we both still haven't moved from our feelings towards the other but neither of us ever brought it up in junior year and college I was visiting nearby her campus with friends my current girlfriend stayed behind at our school for work and gave are called to catch up my friends and her friends all got together at a bar and had a great time we ended up back at her friend's apartments for the night and as the drinks kept flowing we both got a little more open I ended up cheating on my college girlfriend that's night and felt horrible about it Susanne and I saw each other twice more that week before I had to head back to school and neither of us brought up what had happened once I was back at school I was extremely confused my current girlfriend and I had been in a rough patch and were trending downward but I still wasn't sure if Susanne considered me a drunken mistake they decided just to see how everything played out with time a few months before graduation my college girlfriend and I split after graduation Susanne and I both moved back home for new jobs and I worked up the courage to finally ask her out that same night I finally kissed her sober and the second our lips separated she whispered finally exclamation point she was into it she was intimating fast-forward a few weeks and we're boyfriend and girlfriend she's filled me in on the fact that she's been crazy about me since we were kids a few years later we're married at 25 we just celebrated our one-year anniversary last weekend and things have been outstanding she's the love of my life TL DR took me 14 years of awkward waiting but I married her had a crush on this really pretty girl that was in my study hall and I always tried to steal glances and check her out and all that but I would never have dared to ask her out anyway about a year ago I got a text from a number I didn't know and started talking to them surprise surprise it was her she told me she used to write poem about me and study hall it hasn't gone any further than that but we do snapchat and catch up occasionally I last time I saw her when I was 12 I was 35 when I did some research on the internet and found her I sent her a letter saying hi and was curious on how she was doing gave my email address and cell phone number three weeks went by and get a message through Facebook from her saying comma I'm fine married with twin boys don't contact me again six months go by and my parents get a phone call from a guy saying he's her ex-husband and wanted to talk to me I call him from a friend cell phone he tells me that she's in a marriage with an extremely controlling husband and I should be careful I thanked him for letting me know and hang up I've stayed away of a since I'm sorta currently going through something like this dated two years ago she went through a rough patch and I was young and stupid so she slammed the door on me we added each other to Facebook and met recently it was outstanding we had really great time and went to her place I don't know where it goes from now go to be patient and receptive I guess we've been dating nearly a year he was my sister's best friend and I crushed on him from second grade to 10th I am high-fiving the hell out of my childhood self now most amazing relationship I've ever had had a huge crush on a guy in HS that was a total doubter bag to me fast forward a couple years I have a terrible job serving food from a hotline in a cafe on the campus of his very prestigious college I see him coming down the line and want to cry immediately because he looks fantastic and is clearly excelling at college while I at the time was stuck in an abusive relationship with my high school sweetheart had recently discovered I was pregnant felt trapped in that awful job and was having a sh TTY day and looked as far as I was concerned a hot mess crush saw me recognized me waited until there wasn't a line anymore and started a conversation with me he lied and told me I looked great that he was thrilled to run into me he gave me a huge hug apologized for being such a doubter back in high school listen to me cry about my life for a while I hadn't intended on crying but once he started being nice to me it threw me off so hard I couldn't help it cover at the end of the conversation he gave me another hug told me to keep my chin up and to add him on Facebook so we could hang out sometime for various unfortunate reasons I didn't ever take him up on that offer but he actually helped me a lot that day his kindness was eye-opening for me I still think about it a lot if you're reading this thank you strat you changed me that day I had a huge crush on this girl through most of high school and in hindsight I'm nearly certain she felt the same way I was kind of an awkward dumb bus back then few years after high school I was in a bar when I heard someone yell my name I turn around and I see this very heavyset girl walking towards me with a big smile on her face I stare at her confused for a moment before realizing it was the same girl plus at least 150 pounds of her a cheerful demeanor kind of disappeared for a bit as she realized I couldn't even recognize her at first I imagine it happened to her a lot I wish it was a story of the hot popular cheerleader who broke my heart but it's not she was one of the sweetest kindest people you could hope to meet and given how thin she always was in high school I think she might have been one of those VIII obese people who actually did have a medical condition I still feel terrible about how I reacted to seeing her she's married to some rich guy and has a bunch of kids now so that's good [Music]
