When Redditors Met Their Former Crush Years Later (r/AskReddit)

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 confessed 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 I liked her when we were 15 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 he always said I want to be a cop I'll never be a fucking firefighter firefighters a pursuit cops are the real men he became an army firefighter but instead of being humble 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 I switched schools after 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 her move saw her each day failed each day she obviously got tired of waiting ended up with another guy I gave up cum 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 when I was in first year I had a 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 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 crush he'll see I'm not a creepy weirdo anymore anyway when I ran into him our conversation went like this me hey crush how's Doug going Tim good thanks how are you me good thanks how are 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 earth was given a chance got wasted and embarrassed myself by spending so much of the night talking about how much my younger self liked her extolling her virtues like it was years ago mentioned how crazy and awesome it was that I was finally getting my chance it was sad as shit I didn't realize how bad I fucked 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 realize the massive amount of I'm going to be polite but I've made a mistake that was continuously written across her face embarrassing a shit 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 Hedy it 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 crashed fast forward to when we are 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 2/10 would not recommend the last name is very close to mine so throughout high school our lockers were together or we'd 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 four years later she dropped out of college and is waiting tables now but she got even hotter still a really nice girl though 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 asshole fast forward a few relationships for us both eleven years of growth and she came back into my life a few months ago we are dating and life is pretty good now couldn't ask for anything more sometimes it's the right person but the wrong time 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 event in my life but if you are out there Olivia Oh Matt fuck you will likely be buried forever but what the hell had a crush on this girl in grade school first / second play notes video games action figures life was good bought her a present at a 5 and 10 because I thought she'd like it it was a wreck 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 about four drinks one night with friends and who should come by butter beautiful great taste in music smiles at my jokes smitten 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 in HS but still attractive she was there with her Ivy League fee on K these two facts combined to change my mince it for my bang my HS crush at our reunion - oh well never mind at one point we were being recognized for something and with the lies on us she leaned over and said I remember what a crush you had on me you wanted me Byard first I couldn't really react given the immediate circumstances second I didn't detect any kind of Taco Bell type invitation in what she'd said sorry in fact it almost seemed like she was just lording it over me I mean she was there with her fiance who we determined in previous small talk she lived and who was awesome for some reason it really pissed 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 that I hope she's happy and blah blah blah we are 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 shit 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 shitting on me to 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 her when I was 19 about three years since we'd last seen each other he was as charming as he'd always be and I realized how quickly we fell back into our previous roles then being cool but kind of an asshole and me hanging off his every word I'm happy we met her 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 asshole I still think about him sometimes but much or Sobel even I did when we still hung out crushed hard and competed for a really cute girl in college but when she moved in with him I closed the door on things years later she sought me out on FAFSA Booker's apparently for her I was the one that got away it lead to a tawdry on-again off-again mostly sexual tryst in which we determined the things we did best were fighting or F asterisk asterisk asterisk ing 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 stings to this day 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 have been for over two years we had a beer talked a bit it was nice she was even hotter than before I was now so well made decent money decent hair had clothes etcetera 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 now I just quietly weep in the dark and drink and watch Netflix don't go out much anymore thanks op for reminding me jackass tried to pull an ultimatum on me in high school do this or we're over I called her Bluff and that's how our relationship ended ten-eye shears later we are both single and I visit her 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 but 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 the 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 of 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 co check of the restaurant might have valeted for she was definitely my first big crush that I was a shy awkward kid I remember one of the last times we hung out I gave her my favorite LAN Qing trading card because I liked her after our moms 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 in court 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 looked after so she could finish school it was a nice experience especially finding out what she had been up to all those years I had a crush on the high school QB and his family was royalty in my school it was a very small town that worshiped football and his family had been players going back four generations or something like that but in terms of popularity this guy wasn't just out of my league he was out of my stratosphere fast forward 10 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 effing score for me yeah ya know I get to his place and he's living in a 300 square foot box still driving that 89 picked up from HS talking about how he was king shit still caught up and being worshipped in school and clearly couldn't grasp why the real world didn't do the same can you believe rid it that he actually had to prove himself the gada nerve of his boss ate dinner the and it'd grill one hooloovoo steak and no doubt all through elementary and middle school I was absolutely enamored with this one girl as kids in elementary school we did that cute as a 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 a chess and dropping out due to being a single mom she mentions meeting up for some coffee and maybe a movie at her place I just unmatched her something about seeing how she turned out just ruined the illusion for me [Music]
