If you're one of those people who does weird and ridiculous things around the person you fancy because you're full of awkwardness and/or desp to impress, please know you're not alone. Here are some of the dumbest things people have ever done for a crush and they'll probably make you feel a whole lot better.
1. "Got them an autograph of their favourite musician. It wasn't easy. And they threw it away without opening the envelope." [via]
2. "I made a portrait of her in Photoshop, except it looked like a giraffe and I didn't quite know how to do digital art properly. Never got a reaction from her after she saw, and to be honest I don't blame her." [via]
3. "Travelled from Australia to the other side of the world, only to continue to be strung along. Penny finally dropped that I was being used so I banged one of her friends instead." [via]
4. "Go and talk back and forth with the guy she had a crush on... like I was the crush middleman. The whole time she's telling me what to say to this guy, I'm just wishing she would say it to me and we could be together." [via]
5. "Joined the cross country team in high school... did I mention that I fucking hate running?" [via]
Everyone's clicking on...
6. "Pretended to not understand questions in class and would loudly claim I 'didn't get it' and she would help me." [via]
7. "Started smoking. She was a smoker and I figured it would give me an excuse to talk to her and 'look cool'. Finally quit a few months back. Dumbest decision ever." [via]
8. "I hooked her up with my friend that she liked." [via]
9. "Wrote a very cringey civil war sounding love letter. My dearest Mary. I hope this epistle finds you in good humour..." [via]
