"I'd die for Mark Robinson"

[ImJustMadAboutSaffron]

I was embarrassingly reminded of that - I wrote it in my diary and said it to my friends - when Gary Davies played a particular track on the breakfast show this morning. I had the most terrible crush on this boy and he played on it but never asked me out and told everyone that I fancied him and he was terrified of me. It all culminated in a lot of alcohol at the school Christmas disco and the hangover from hell. I even went to watch Bradford City when I didn't support them, because he did.

He's got no hair now, but did have a good career and has two kids and a lovely wife, as it happens. But she has an annoying habit of writing "Beauties" on every Facebook post her friends make (maybe it's one of those default answers the lazy often use?) And I do not fancy him in the least!

I am squirming with embarrassment. Any more stories like this? (No I am not a journalist).

Bizarrely, the man I had a massive crush on (and wanted to marry) when I was 13, is now a good friend of my DH. Meeting him again after so many years was possibly the most embarrassing moment of my life.

Posted too soon.

He's a lovely fella, he really is, but all he ever talks about is COVID and the bargains he got on his last trip to Aldi.

No ta.

Lucky escape there then!

This made me laugh. Mine is quite successful now, but I wouldn't change my DH for him in the slightest.

I'm more embarrassed that I tried to convert my first serious boyfriend to Christianity.🙈 I grew up in the church and was such a goody two shoes. 😳 Now I'm an atheist and wonder what he thinks of me. 🙈

My teen crush in school was well known among everyone. Including him. He was always respectful thank god and never humiliated me. Must Facebook stalk and see what he’s like now! 😂

I have two. One is fat and bald now, but a very successful intelligent and funny guy (on FB anyway, I haven't seen him in decades). I only got off with him once after we had all left school. My major 'one who got away though' was an absolutely gorgeous lead singer in a band, we were mad about each other for a while but it never quite worked out. He always used to say I wasn't spiritual enough and I would say he was talking bollocks. . Well blow me down with a feather when I googled him recently! Still very good looking, but he's now a happy- clappy Christian who has given up his job to spread the faith! we would not have been well suited AT ALL. Bullet dodged!

I had a secondary school "first love" (nothing of the sort really now but at the time...!) who treated me badly. We were "secret" and he would deny it at school of it ever got out (which it did at first as he asked my friend if I liked him... And then denied it when she said something to someone else. God knows why I still stuck it out...

Pre covid he came up in the local paper as having met two under age girls during his work (if I remember rightly 14/15 age) and had gotten one pregnant who had had an abortion but both continued to meet up with him for sex. Lucky escape here. Those poor poor girls.

At the time he had a partner who went on to get pregnant by him so clearly did not start treating any women better as he aged.... 🤦🏻‍♀️

I remember writing a letter to a "boyfriend" when we were in year 6 too. It contained a line similar to "do you still want me to touch you there?" not as sordid as it came across...it was a sore part of his arm at the time after an injury and I don't even know why I'd written it in or even written said letter but it was found in the playground and that was NOT how it read to the teacher 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 27 years on and I still cringe.

I had a crush on an older boy from swimming club from age 9. He was my first kiss when I was 16. We're now in our 50s, and still friends, but I'm glad my dreams of marrying him came to nought. He's more right-wing than I'd ever want to live with, and such a mansplainer (he always was, but at 16, I was happy to have the world explained to me.)

I’ve moved miles away from from my 2 teenage crushes, they’re both in the forces now. I came off social media a few years ago and I often think about them and how their lives are going. We fancied each other madly but they was a ‘bit of a one’ and I had crippling self esteem and was too scared of letting them down with my lack of snogging and sexing abilities 😆 so wouldn’t let them lay a finger on me, I often wonder what if.

We parted ways in 2006 but Jack.S/Adam.M if you’re out there- you’re wonderful, drop dead gorgeous, the women you’re with are lucky to have you and you’re absolutely the ones that got away! Also.. I’d of made you some beautiful babies! 😂

My oldest boy has just gone through his first break up. I was offering some command humour as that's how we get through stuff. Showed him all my teenage crushes / heartbreaks I'd never ever recover from. All of them now deeply unattractive and from the snippets I hear, not very nice people. He definitely took the comfort in that 🤣
