What's the dumbest thing you did as a kid to get your crush's attention?
When I was in 7th grade, I took up smoking so the little douchebag I liked could bum cigarettes off of me. I never inhaled, I hated the way it smelled and made me smell, it was purely for aesthetic and potential opportunities to talk to him. It worked once and then I think after hearing him talk for more than just what I'd overhear passing him in the hall I was like "what an idiot" and never bought cigarettes again. (That was back in the days you could go into a gas station with a note "from your mom" that she was giving you permission to buy her cigarettes. 😂)

My crush loved Duran Duran and her brother and my brother were friends so she found out that my older brother had gone to the Duran Duran concert and asked me if I could get her copies of pictures. I don't know exactly why I didn't just ask my brother but I decided this was the perfect opportunity for a covert mission into his room where I found his negatives (it was a disc camera, ugh) and took the disc negative, put it in a pouch I had on my bike and rode my bike pretty far out of normal bike riding range for a kid to take it directly to her house on a Saturday. She was quite puzzled that I didn't just have my brother give it to her brother but obviously I couldn't tell her that it was just because I wanted to see her, that would be too direct and sane! Instead I said something like "Oh I was heading this way already" yeah right! Well the inevitable happened and my brother found out I had stolen the negatives from him and he eventually got them back but it was just a lesson in how we do irrational things sometimes for a crush.
ReplyDeleteI did all kinds of crazy stuff when it came to crushes. Cut my hair into a punk style for one kid, smoked for another, pretended I had the same horrible music tastes as another, and did a lot of pre-teen/teen stalking just trying to catch a glimpse. I remember a friend and I would walk to a dark park across the street (a dead end street) from my main crush's giant house just to see him drive up after school. Pitiful, pitiful, pitiful.
