People Reveal the Weird Things They’ve Done to Get a Crush’s Attention

I’m not sure why a crush is called a crush but if I had to guess at that etymology I’d wager that it has something to do with the fact that while experiencing a crush, our brains get crushed down to the state where they no longer work.

Which is why we then start acting out in all kinds of weird ways to try to get their attention, because our dumb-dumb heads don’t work good no more from the crushing.

But don’t take my word for it – here are ten anonymous confessions from real crushers about just what they were willing to do in order to snag that crush.

10. Eating food you hate

Bonus points if you order something you’re actually allergic to.

9. Fall down

Oh right, the injury part of being injured.

8. Get pierced

If she saw that sort of thing all day every day, why would you expect it to stand out to her?

7. Become a regular

“We are dating now.”

6. Fake accounts

I hope and pray you were very young when this occurred.

5. Fly across the country

Dang, that’s gonna take a while to heal.

4. Lie about bands

Maybe you’ll land among the stars regardless.

3. Get into jazz

It’s about the notes you’re NOT playing. Literally.

2. Plunge the neck

I mean, how could you have seen that coming?

1. Go overseas

Don’t try to force love, it won’t work.

Man, people are hopeless, yanno?
