Heartbroken People Share Stories Of Crushes Gone Wrong
Ahh, the sweet feeling of a genuine crush. It can go one of a few ways. Ideally, it all works out perfectly and is reciprocated—but as we all know, life doesn't always go the way we plan it. Here is a collection of real-life tales of crushes lost in an instant and stories of people who went embarrassingly far to impress a crush. When we have a crush, we lose our minds a little bit, and this list more than proves that to be true. Buckle in for some serious cringe-inducing moments with these heartbreaking tales of crushes gone wrong.
1. Starting to Sweat
Getting up from the bleachers to play dodgeball in gym class, I tried to impress a girl by pulling my sweat pants off while yelling “LET’S DO THIS!” I ended up accidentally yanking off everything, boxers and all...
2. All Except for One
A dude was trying to make me jealous by saying something along the lines of “I can’t be ‘just friends’ with girls, they all have crushes on me!” I stopped crushing on him out of spite right then and there.
3. This Just In: Your Plan Didn’t Work!
I lied to a guy because I didn’t think we’d have anything except a brief encounter. I told him that I had experience in journalism when, in reality, I had actually only taken one class on the subject in college.
On our first date, he took me along to report on a local clash between police and citizens. I got tear-gassed and robbed. He was not impressed.
4. Food Fight
What turned me off of my crush was the way that she chewed food. Sounds shallow, I know, but it was just not something that I wanted to have to hear for the rest of my life. That, and that she snacked on ketchup packets.
She even kept a stash of them in her glove box. She would just tear one open after another and suck them down. Whole lotta nope!
