To wonder if she knows the extent of the crush we all had on her Da? *lighthearted*

There’s a young lady in my neighbourhood in her mid 20s. See her round but don’t know her well enough to have a convo with - seems nice enough etc. But here’s the thing - her Dad was 2 years above me in school and the crush I had on him was CRAZY - UNREAL. You know when you’ve got a crush on someone and it excites you so much you’re awake ALL NIGHT - well THAT’S what I was like about this young lady’s Dad!! 😭

I even at one point - lost weight - and got a special photo shoot done by my photographer neighbour back in the day in the hope that somehow my pics would come to his attention (they didn’t).

Seems I wasn’t the only one who felt like this - her Dad certainly had heartthrob status among many of us girls - seems nearly all of us schoolgirls were vying for his attention back in the day!

I’ve seen this young lady more frequently around the local high street/coffee shops this weekend being Easter and I’ve often wondered - does she have any idea how UTTERLY CRACKERS we all used to be about her Dad?? 😭😭

She seems a confident, unfazed, worldly woman … but still 😭 I can’t help cringing thinking how I used to be over him !!

Yes I’ve done FB stalking a plenty

He seems to be the type to add randoms to FB. I haven’t got the guts to add him but as we had mutual friends I wished him
a FB Happy Birthday and at least he gave my comment a like !!

I laughed at the liking your post comment.

Maybe things haven't really changed over the years 😂

I got in touch with my teenage crush 16 years ago... first boy l ever kissed age 13.. l was looking for a gardener .. and another friend put me in touch with him.
We became very close friends.. ( not lovers) .. then 6 years ago he was diagnosed with mouth cancer.. for last year of his life he was in out of the hospice. I held him in my arms as he passed away.
He was still handsome until the end. Sadly didn't have kids.

I had a terrible crush on the Corona Man. Wasn't overkeen on the stuff but bought 2 bottles weekly just to talk to him. I would play my music really loudly through the open window to impress him.

He asked me if I was going to Farnborough Tech to see a particular band I said no. I actually shook when I was collecting my corona from his hands....bet he thought I was a 15/16 year old drip.

🤣 love this
