I am so disappointed in my 13 year old self :( what was I thinking?
At the weekend, I randomly bumped into the guy I had a HUGE, somewhat unrequited crush on at 13. I'm talking full-on adolescent obsession. Wrote diaries about the guy, stalked his house and telephone directory, took on a whole new sport to be with him, broke my 9pm curfew (!) eating ice-pops with him in the park, the lot.
I moved away a few months later and he always remained a happy, crazy, slightly wistful memory. I certainly still held him in high esteem in my memory until the weekend.
He has turned into a complete plonker incapable of a coherent conversation
he even kissed my hand when I was about to leave. Seriously, he was like something out of Blackadder. My friend, who also knew him back in the day, said that he'd always had that manner about him :(
In future, when I bump into any of my old crushes, should I run in the other direction? I don't want to ruin any more what-ifs! Anyone able to say YABU and actually had a reunion that has turned out successfully?
