Did it live up to expectations? Did you bottle it?!!

It was awful.

ChasedByBees · 03/02/2018 23:27

It didn’t.

Bigfatchips · 03/02/2018 23:27

Don't understand the question, sorry.

windchimesabotage · 03/02/2018 23:28

yes. Had a crush on a friend for ten years. Turned out they had also had a crush on me from meeting me. We are married now with our second child on the way!
Its lucky we actually found the courage to say anything to each other haha or the unspoken crush could still have been going on now!

Midge1978 · 03/02/2018 23:28

What happened birdsdestiny?

Yes, it was everything I had hoped. But I was young and it wasn't meant to be ultimately.

Merryoldgoat · 03/02/2018 23:31

Surely this happens all the time?

I met guy, had a crush on him, now we're married. I would imagine this is a fairly common situation... Confused

Sparklingbrook · 03/02/2018 23:33

I assumed the OP meant a crush and you thought it could never happen as it was just a crush and the other party wasn't aware?

Sparklesocks · 03/02/2018 23:35

I had a huge crush on a guy when I was a teen but was too scared to make any moves in case he rejected me.

However years later I bumped into him and went for a drink on a whim and found out he fancied me too! And we missed out...

I’m with my DP now but I made a promise to myself If I was single and liked someone I would make my feelings known!

Screaminginsideme · 03/02/2018 23:35

Yes I had a huge crush on a boy for at least 3 years then when we finally got to realise our crush there was another boy who’d come along I had an even bigger crush on. Like busses you wait for ages and then two come along at once I was 15

EfficiencyDeficiency · 03/02/2018 23:37

I did!

Outing if anyone knows me but hey ho-

We both worked at a call centre, were 19/20 and I really wanted to do Camp America, so did he.
We planned a trip to London for interview weekend and stayed in bunk beds in a grotty hotel somewhere in Victoria.

I had it all worked out to seduce him but my bloody cousin decided to apply too and was a right weirdo.

Anyways, we both got accepted, cousin didn't ( not too surprised ) and we ended up being allocated camps in New York State about ten minutes from each other.

I went first, he followed about two weeks later. We made numerous plans to meet up, there was always a catastrophe at either end that prevented it and we only met up once in a large group and by this point had met a girl and was all loved up.

So spent 3 months in America, came home and started hanging out.
I cannot for the life of me remember how it happened but we ended up together and had the most passionate few months, loved up to death and then he went down south to university.

We stayed in touch over the years and i met his fiancé ( now wife ) and then about ten years ago we lost touch.

He isn't on any social media and I haven't seen him since.
I often think of him fondly, he was probably my first love. He also looked like a young Danny Dyer and was gorgeous.

Aah I'm all nostalgic now Grin

Midge1978 · 03/02/2018 23:37

Yeah I mean someone you admired from afar and built up in your mind then finally something happened.

EfficiencyDeficiency · 03/02/2018 23:37

Jeez that was long sorry!

Primarkismyonlyoption · 03/02/2018 23:37

My main relationships stop at crushes. Noone wants me. I am ugly, so this is where it ends for me. I am too ashamed to even admit it because I know 100% that it would be rejected and I cannot cope with anymore humiliation Sad

Vinorosso74 · 03/02/2018 23:38

Yes, twice. One was a bit of a let down, the other well it lasted just over a year and I have very fond memories.....

Midge1978 · 03/02/2018 23:38

Love that story Efficiency!

OccasionalNachos · 03/02/2018 23:42

It wasn’t a really long build up but I met someone first week of university & was absolutely bowled over by how much I fancied him. We had sex a few weeks later (fantastic!) & dated for about 8 months; it was a lovely, passionate relationship & great whilst it lasted.

Never happened since. I am currently lusting after a friend of a friend who I see at parties. I have lost the confidence of youth!

hollowtree · 03/02/2018 23:44

Primark I know how you feel. All my.life I've been an ugly embarrassing loser so actually that's way worse. And I'm.a right weirdo by accident. Im just a goof and always say really awkward things when I'm trying to be funny/cool.

I married an awkward goof 😊 we suck at life together. You'll find your one one day

Fortheloveofscience · 03/02/2018 23:44

Yes, though it took me 5 years to engineer a date. We’re getting married this year Grin.

Annamadrigal · 03/02/2018 23:46

It was a massive disappointment! My expectations were sky high, I was so nervous and couldn't be myself at all.

Primarkismyonlyoption · 03/02/2018 23:51

Thank you hollow.
Its shit isnt it.
In the past i have always been the consolation prize. The one they go for cos my mate is taken.
I am so ashamed of myself that i cant even go in any situation which makes it look like i think i have any worth, because i know the outcome.
I would rather be on my own forever than have someone who only got with me because they couldnt get anyone else.

hollowtree · 04/02/2018 00:04

primark for what it's worth, my DH feels like this (I guess we kind of both do) but I know for an absolute fact that any girl on God's green Earth would feel so lucky to have him. He's embarrassed about his body, his looks, his personality. But he's wonderful. He's incredible but he just can't tell.

Maybe- like him- what you see in the mirror is totally different to what the World is looking at.

You're worth more than you think, and someone one day will buy you for more than you were going to sell for. (Money analogy... please don't physically put yourself on sale) (unless you want to be a prostitute. Covering all PC bases here). (See what I mean RE:awkward weirdo)

Primarkismyonlyoption · 04/02/2018 00:06

Youre nice. Id choose you as a friend Smile
