“We dated for 10 years after high school.
Having a high school crush is an experience I’m sure we can all relate to.
Inr/AskReddit, I knew there would be an impressive level of online snooping, wild experiences, and fate.
Here’s what people had to say:
1.
“I was 14.
At the beginning of the new school year, I was running late to my new English class.
“Shes a doctor now.

“I was a loser; he was a hot skater, and he didnt know I existed.
He became a model after high school, and I ended up becoming a pretty popular DJ.
“We dated for 10 years after high school.

“It turned out that we were both gay.
Most hilarious breakup I’ve ever had.
Hands down the best, but we fell out of touch.
Every man I’ve ever thought I liked has been extremely gay.
And I didn’t start dating women until after high school.”
“My high school boyfriend was gorgeous tall, blond, clean-shaven, with classically handsome bone structure.
He modeled a bit after high school, and then I lost touch with our mutual friends.
Hes a big biker dude with tons of facial hair.
If mom hadnt captioned the photo, Id never in a million years have known it was him.”

“He ended up marrying his cousin, same last name and everything.
They have two kids.
I dodged a bullet by not actually dating him.
But then again, we wouldnt have ended up together because we arent related enough, I guess.”
Degree from a good university, a beautiful wife, a beautiful home, kids, trips abroad.
The good life.”
Were talking about a federal investigation.
Truly the biggest shock of my life.”

She was off-the-charts pretty and was dating older guys.
I had no shot.
“A few years ago, he messaged me, apologizing for his behavior in high school.
I didnt question it, but I think he was working his steps.
We wish each other a happy birthday every year on Facebook, and that works for us.”

“She was my high school crush kind, caring, just full of life.
We’ve become close friends.
I proposed, but she chose the other guy, and I wished them nothing but happiness.
They were married until she came home and found her husband in bed with his coworker.”
“He’s looking after his mother at her beck and call 24/7.
She solved all his problems, so he never really learned how to be an adult properly.
He was forced to quit school and work full time after his dad left.”
“He had a full-ride scholarship to a prestigious university and had to let it go.
I wish he was better or hope he gets better and finds his happiness.
He’s not a bad guy, just a victim of circumstance.”

“I married her and divorced her.
It was amicable; we had different aspirations in life and wanted different lifestyles.
I could tell she wasnt happy.
I wasnt surprised that the first thing she did post-divorce was to move to the city.
The first thing I did was get a cat, lol.”
It can happen to anyone after surgery.
He was 35 years old.”
“He co-owned a local Irish restaurant and pub with his best friend.
He never married, had no kids, but adored his siblings children.
He was a dick when we were young, but grew up to be a pretty nice guy.”

“She was lovely.
We were in a small, close-knit group of friends.
I remember going out one Friday evening, and when she held my hand, I was ecstatic.
She knows she was my school crush.
I moved away when I was 16.
