I lent this girl my copy of 1984 and wrote my phone number, one digit per page, on the first 10 pages. Why I ever assumed she’d be on my abstract nerdery wavelength, I dunno. https://t.co/yA5ViuBkz8

4. Some people get very protective over their crushes.
I was so dedicated to my crush in mind!e school I would protected him while we played dodgeball in our PE class. I would stand behind him so if he got hit I could catch the ball & he would not be out. https://t.co/b4oLUYNHxQ

I told a TA I had a crush on that I needed a letter of recommendation for an internship when I did not. Let him write a bunch of nice things about me, then just opened it and read it. I still have it somewhere.

In seventh grade, my crush told me he wanted a sax solo in jazz band so I went out and learned how to play the sax and took his solo so he’d be impressed by me. I was very surprised when he then didn’t talk to me for YEARS.

8. This person made some crazy jewellery inspired by a crush.
I photo copied a picture of my crush from my cousin’s yearbook, laminated it with tape, put a hole punch in it and wore it on a necklace. I was 13. https://t.co/My09p3tEph

Wanted to deliver a cup of hot tea to friend/crush’s dorm because I heard they were sick. Found them asleep, so decided to army crawl across the floor so I wouldn’t be in line of sight if they woke. Spilled tea on myself. Shouted, woke them up & was caught. Now together 11 years.

10. This is a creative way of impressing somebody.
Brought a boom box to school and played a Debbie Gibson song for a boy years before Say Anything came out.
