38m here. Remember when I’d Gel my hair to my head, put on my best jeans and fred perry jumper and Nike Cortez trainers and not have the guts to ask out my crush? Like it was yesterday…. only it was a quarter of a century ago.
Speaking for myself, I wasn’t ignoring you. I was hyper aware that you were there. I was just petrified of talking to you, or any girl.
The failing biology part is spot on though. Also math.
Had a dude ask me to put eyeliner on him back in the day cause I had the steadiest hands in my friend group. Still couldn’t get a guy to ask me out. I would have died from happiness to have even just one have a crush on me.
And to think people call that time “the best years of your life.”
I was obsessed with girls like that, but they never looked my way. Sad days, but at least I’m happy at 33 now!
Honestly though, in my case, your signs have to be very explicit. The only time I was in a relationship is when the girl admitted she liked me, and I was already an adult by then.
I have no idea if I ever missed signs in the past, but I err on the side of caution. From what I’ve seen, someone’s definition of “flirting” might be someone else’s version of “being nice.” It’s a crapshoot.
I am always under the impression that no one wants to be bothered, so I don’t even try. Last thing I’d want is to disturb someone’s peace or worse, be labeled as a “creep.” There’s really no winning.
Oh heck- I’m 35 and that was a month ago! 😆
The one I liked so much in high school turned into a drug addict 😬
I was too busy looking at scott, sorry i didnt notice you.
Im gay btw, how are you doing?
Did you try, I don’t know this might be crazy, communicating to them openly?
Yes I get the vibes. Catastrophic times. Would never go back to the hair sessions.
Good times…
Oh wow, the accuracy. Ouch.
Very funny and don’t attack me lol
I remember being at every single high school football game for 7 years straight as a marching band member.
For me, school functions were just jobs to do. Their were times when I didn’t have the courage to ask one girl in particular out, but we are still good friends.
I don’t really regret high school. I think I’m supposed to, but I am fine.
But did you actually talk to him….
No I never did that
Now you get to get pregnant by a subenglish hitter.
i do not remember putting on makeup i bought from a drug store when i was 15
i don’t wear makeup
Something like that for a broccoli head
I’m watching my 16yo doing exactly this right now 😅
It is not like most of the girls were not average as well … after all the preparations.
I couldn’t believe people wanted to go to those things
Jokes on you.
I never did those things. We are not the same.
Bruh. To real.
I was interested until you straightened your hair.
I learned the truth at seventeen
