Ever wonder why people say to stay away from old crushes? These stories prove it.
“My wife’s former crush randomly messaged her on Facebook…”
"My wife's former crush randomly messaged her on Facebook one day. She f*cked him on day two. She's now my ex-wife, she's jobless living with his mom, and I have the kids."
“Found out she was fat and unattractive…”
"Found out she was fat and unattractive. Then I realized I was too."
“We were both on the same plane…”
"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."
“She didn’t remember me…”
"We talked every day in high school for three years. Twenty years later she didn't remember me."
“If I had a time machine I’d go back and punch 15-year-old me…”
"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, and smart.
If I had a time machine I'd go back and punch 15-year-old me right in the beanbag. Idiot."
“Went Back To Her Hotel…”
"Had drinks. Went back to her hotel. Basically did not leave it for two days."
“She came back into my life a few months ago…”
"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 a*shole . Fast forward 11 years of growth for us both and she came back into my life a few months ago. We're dating and life is pretty good now and I couldn't ask for anything more. Sometimes it's the right person but the wrong time."
“Got married, she cheated and tried to take me for…”
"Met her when I was 13 and 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 and tried to take me for child support for her daughter.
2/10 would not recommend."
“She looked so old I didn’t recognize her…”
"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."
“I said hi one time and have since avoided going there…”
"She works at a supermarket near me. I said hi one time and have since avoided going there because I'm not the best with repeated social interaction."
“She was a cheerleader and incredibly hot…”**
"Her 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 4 years later. She ***dropped out of college and is waiting tables now. But she got even hotter and is still a really nice girl!"
“Woke up and immediately knew I would not be given a second opportunity…”***
"Went out for drinks and still fixated on her. 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. Even mentioned how crazy and awesome it was that I was finally getting my chance.
It was sad as sh*t. Woke up and immediately knew** I would not be given a second opportunity. Saw her reactions and responses from the previous night with a sober eye and 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 as sh*t."
“Hadn’t seen her in 15 years…”
"Hadn't seen her in 15 years. Ran into each other online, decided to meet up for dinner.
Married now for 5 years and one kid."
