People Recall All the Embarrassing Things They Once Did in the Name of Love
Love usually turns us all into blubbering messes. Looking back on the time we had a crush on someone, we realize how many embarrassing things we did in the name of love.
We would never do these things if we were in our right mind, but we were deeply in love.
Nicole Cliffe, a writer for Slate, SELF, Vulture, ELLE, The Guardian and more, has asked people on Twitter to share the most embarrassing things they did when they were in love and the stories we heard are extremely hilarious!
Other Redditors soon joined the cringe-train and their recollections are so epic you won’t be able to stop reading and wincing all the way to the end of the article!
The Boom Box Moment
“Brought a boom box to school and played a Debbie Gibson song for a boy years before Say Anything came out.” – Maris Kreizman
Pulling the classic boom box on your crush is one of the most embarrassing moments in your life.
The Paddle Boat Lover
“There was this guy that I used to make out with that lived on a lagoon. We knew another person that lived nearby, so we could use her paddle boat to pass by the back of his house.
We didn’t see him out in the yard, so desperate and hormone fueled young me starts yelling his name to see if he’d come out (this was pre-cellphones).
I yelled and yelled for a long time, doing circles in the paddle boat, and the friend I was with was like “dude, give it up, he’s not home”.
But he was home, he told us later that his whole family was sitting down to eat and heard me screaming his name over and over.” – Reddit user TwinkiSandwich
Looking back at that time without cellphones, we’re sure TwinkiSandwich feels so embarrassed right now!
However, her story is not as cringe-worthy as this next one is…
Loved Sushi a Bit Too Much
“We were 16 and we both loved sushi. After payday we’d go to our favorite spot and feed sushi to each other for hours, one roll at a time.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot, we would KISS EACH ROLL before shoving it into the others mouth….” – Reddit user Spookyturds
Well… that’s something teens don’t usually do, but it was in the name of love. Somebody should have told them kissing food is not a thing, though!
Trying Various Methods, Only to Deeply Fail
“In 6th grade I had a crush on a boy so I tried to woo him by dressing exactly like him & then, when that didn’t work, I sent him a locker note “do you love me” check yes or no” Y’all his friends found it first & the entire lunch room laughed at me.” – Mickey
Kids are so confused about the ways of wooing. It’s definitely not a good idea to dress like your crush. The note is usually a way to go, but with the risk of having the whole lunch room laughing at you… You’re not alone, Mickey!
