I've come a long way from shyness but before I got here, I had some very awkward moments- #1 I ran into a crush at a clothing store. I saw him and ran to the nearest clothes rack and hid inside of it 🤣 Of course he and his mom came over start sorting through the clothes. I’m inside of it shaking freaking out 😂 You never go to a store looking your worse cause that’ll be the day you run into someone. #2 Another time i was at a grocery and saw a crush and his parents walking down the aisle towards me. I prayed he didn't see me but of course my mom was like “Oh she ran off in here somewhere.” Man i ran to the tissue aisle and hid behind a fort i built. Its like he followed me right to the spot! He was like “What you doing back here?” I picked up a roll and was like, um I gotta go to the bathroom. #3 When my date arrived, i was too shy to approach. He was late and i was sitting at the movie with my friends. He kept standing at the bottom of the theater waving for me to come down there with him and his friends. I kept watching the film like i couldnt see him 🤣 I did that for the first hour of the film before i went down there. #4 My friend dared to go down this street where a crush lived. I told her no. She drove the car there and before we could even get near his house, i saw him standing at the stop sign. I ducked down and grabbed the wheel of the car 🤣 She popped a donut wheelie and tookoff. My boy almost got hit by the car 😂😭 #5 I was sad i didn't see a crush at church. I went outside and screamed to my mom “He wasn't here today. I didn't see him.” I turned around and looked up. This giant mf was standing behind me! It was him! I started freaking out, making Spongebob’s dolphin cussing sound. Then I took off running through the parking lot 🤣 #6 One guy flirted with me on a college app and he saw my pic and asked who i was. Man I freaked out and screamed “IM RICK JAMES BISH” 😭💀 He loved it tho and Then we dated for 2 years #FeelFreeToList#ThatAwkwardMoment

There was a college crush that i felt never looked my way. But i was so into him… one day, he held the door open for me one day. I smiled the rest of the day. Then that summer, i saw him at a restaurant. While standing in line he approached and talked nonstop. I couldnt believe it. I told him we used to share a class and he said “i know.” Then he asked was i going to sit and eat there. I told him i had to go 😭 Man my gramps was waitin in the car y'all lmao! I wanted to leave him out there 🤣
What awkward reactions have you had when a crush showed up somewhere near you?
1. I was walking in the schoolyard. My crush was walking towards me, and she said hey. I turned my head to say hey, and hit a lamppost. She asked me if I was ok, and my response was "yeah, I'm fine, is the lamppost ok?" 2. I was at a friend's birthday party, and saw a crush. She saw me, came to me and said " oh hey, I'm glad you came to the party Wanna dance?" My response " well, um, yeah, see... I can't dance because my shoes are too tight." She walked away and I facepalmed so hard, you could see the red mark on my face from my hand.
The worst thing that ever happened to me with a crush is I got caught looking her way and she started walking towards me, so I headed downstairs for my next class. Unfortunately, I tripped over a gym bag that was in the hallway and fell down the stairs. She ran to me and asked if I was OK, and I said yes even though I really wasn't. I was so humiliated.
Haha I can't imagine these moments being legit. Like they some straight rom com moments, it's great. But yeah I've had a mix of smooth moments and wtf moments. Hard to describe mostly but first year of theater I skidded across the stage because the top tier prettiest cheer leader and I had to start a scene with her body over mine and hand close to my ass. We had to come up with the scene and I'm at a loss so we basically just picked a character after at least 5 awkward minutes. She was literally Mexican Hillary Duff I couldn't expect it to go any better. Anyway I became the old man with a broken leg hopping along and she says Here can I help you? I yeet immediately out of her reach and can't even describe what I did actually, inhuman to me but flew on one leg across to the other end of the stage. Theater teacher put me in the position on purpose too. It all made for a great laugh though. And gave me a chance to date her senior year. Other things happened too but meh haha not all that interesting. Just some weird eye twitching and blacking out. Other than that it was smooth daily everytime
It was super legit lol. I can tell you the year and the guys name for each 🤣 I had some crazy moments forreal! And lmao what does a mexican hiary even look like haha
Too many from when I was younger and shy. They say that youth is wasted on the young. My first big crush, I remember completely never looking her way because I would have trouble breathing and get red. I'd literally leave the premises if she came nearby. There was another time where I really liked a girl and I like to believe she liked me too when she asked if I wanted help on my homework and I just said "Nahh" lol Obviously I was not thinking. It would be nice if she could tell me if she ever liked me but we both have moved on.
I used to have a little crush on a TA at school. His dad was my music teacher and he was friends with one of my cousins.
Now looking back he was a total creep and next time I see him, he'll probably be on to catch a predator.
So anyway after school my mum went to pick up some Mac Donalds. We don't usually have Mac Donalds by the way it was a treat. So I waited in the car for her and as she went in the TA guy came out. His car was parked opposite so I hid under the glove compartment till he left. He definitely saw me because he pushed his hand down on the car bonnet. After that he whispered in my year I know you fancy me. I yelled "what?" And he walked away
I do this thing where I kinda stare, or get really hot.
I don't really get crushes often so it's always weird when I have done.
For years I thought I was asexual because of this. At times I was even considered gay by boys that would usually have girls falling at their feet whilst I didn't.
My ex had a major affect on my confidence so it made me feel really paranoid about my behaviour.
In a really awkward way I'd just try and avoid talking to guys and if they showed signs of liking me I'd basically shut them down out of fear others could see something 'developing' between us. (I was afraid of my ex, he punished me mentally for being me)
Now I don't even bother with a lot of guys because I almost see the agenda, And these days it's financially motivated. I don't have time for it.
I'm learning to find my inner peace again. He's a mess of a human being. He was sent to throw me off my path. I'm not entirely sure why. But what's meant for me God won't let pass me.
Not that much, usually just say hi or so.. though once I was near a guy I dated.. he was with his mom and it was only in the start dating phase so surely I was not going to be introduced.. he saw me and smiled, and then I dropped my keys on the ground which he teased me about later.. Oh and once I walked passed a guy in the university hall whom I had been flirting with at parties.. he did a weird gesture, pointing with both hands like 'guns' towards me in the passing, like in the pic.
Reminded me of the sims game xD.. I was walking with a friend and she noticed too, else I would not have believed it actually happened, I think :D
I always would freeze and pretend not to notice my crushes when I see them randomly. Sometimes I'd walk the other way completely. It's pointless but somehow I think that I can conceal my feelings or throw them off before they figure it out.
There were times were I couldn't ignore them since we were face to face and made eye contact. I did say hi and sometimes they said hi back or even hugged me! Touch deepens my feelings so when they do that I really don't know how to hide how I feel without straight up ignoring them. I wish I could flirt boldly but my shyness still gets the best of me! I instinctually want to run away and avoid them so they never know how I feel. If they showed interest first I'd probably feel more comfortable.
I was at a party with friends, there was a crowd. My friends and I were dancing. I was dancing in the middle and I saw this guy watching me. Turned around and kept dancing. My friends pushed me on the guy he turned me around and I decided to dance on him haha... It was a clumsy incident.
I wasn't the one crushing but she had a crush on me. For my 16th birthday this girl showed up at my doorstep covering me in silly string. What more could I do except say thanks and shut the door?
Lol. You were pretty goofy (not an insult) those were sitcom-esq situations.
Lol I mean I've always pretty much acted the same for the most part just me lol.
That being said I have gotten hilarious reactions from other people who crushed on me or who I was with I remember this one girl I was with did this crazy happy dance lol when I told her I loved her for the first time, her sister called me after I texted it to her ( we were in separate stats at the time ) and was like Jess is doing this crazy happy dance and squealing, good job lol.
I haven’t had that situation in a long time. Most recently, 20 years ago i ran into her at Target and ended uo asking her out. Prior to that was HS where i most likely tried to show off and hurt myself. At least that would have been a typical reaction.
I would suddenly become so different and alien I already am sarcastic but would become super sarcastic I would start to laugh... and then I would get angry at myself for acting such a geek in front of him...
yeah to my crush its adorable... I blush a lot in front of him... sorry it will be past.. used to blush... cause he is my boyfriend now... he also had a THING for me... so...
I liked a girl at work and one night we really hit it off. Then a week or so later we worked together again but I felt less attractive or whatever and basically tried to keep my distance, out of sight out of mind thing. Anyways that’s what i did.
She was the engineer and I was the utility brakeman shifting cars in a rail yard. I knew the job well but the conductor, who was a little younger than me had no idea. So it that dynamic I held some power over the situation and could relax around everyone. I knew what to expect and coached everybody through it. It was third shift, the first time we worked together and was more intimate, just me and the younger guy on the crew. Anyways there was some harmless flirting and since she was a knockout I thought why not go for it. By the end of the shift we both felt good about the night and since the conductor kind of messed up I was looking great. The next time we were in an office setting with way more people…mostly old and burned out men. Still shifting cars in the yard but since we were on different crews I wouldn’t be able to spend time with her other than in the office. I wasn’t feeling it that night, I was an on call employee so no two days were the same and the jobs were unpredictable and all over the place. I’m no alpha, and I don’t want to make a big show of getting this girls attention because everybody would know right away, no use having people talk in a rail yard cause those old guys are terrible gossips. So I just kept to myself and went outside a lot on breaks. She was a chatterbox, she could talk to anybody there and since she looked great all the men wanted to talk to her.
The tissue fort 😭 I don’t have any awkward reactions since I really don’t see my crush in the same place as me that much. I probably would’ve ran to another aisle or something or just look down at my phone to avoid eye contact
I like your other stories. SpongeBob dolphin cussing sounds and then you were running through the parking lot. That made my day fr. Those dolphins cussing sounds are too funny. The story about your crush almost getting hit by the car 😭
But I was near a doorway. I got mixed vibes. Either she was staring at me wondering why I was in line, wondering if the line was ever moving, or she was waiting for someone else to come through the doorway and the queue was just overloading. See that's the issue. Her eyes were locking mine from her corner but not angry narrowed. But the gaze... god... it's like the old Big Brother Eye Logo... more to the side angle but not side glancing... sigh... maybe she liked both of what her eyes were seeing me or waiting for the guy to come in behind me glass doors you see 🙃🙃🙃
But see I dropped my gaze out of nerves and feeling concerned. I didn't know if gazing was for me or was for me but unpleasant.. so I looked at my phone, like anyone my age would do and thank god after a few seconds she had gone... how strange... maybe someone never showed up behind me... oh well... and then i broke off eye contact remember...😁 I couldn't tell if I was feeling lust or feeling indifference like "oh that's you there but Gee you're here on a random day."
Thanks @DizzyDesii for all your kind words and support. But now I realise just as I did at the time given the setting: she was likely just watching for the glass doors behind me from her eyes and her mask and wall. You know. It could be taken as attractive gazing. But more likely it was because the long line meant I was almost crossing her line of vision for whoever she was actually waiting for. No wonder I felt awkward. Hahaha. I was not turned on nor amused at all. Cya :) happily :)
Well what I can say 🥺 I’m 30 I still have a crush ! He is younger than me like 4 years. Hoping he likes me back. Will see but meanwhile I’m not hanging on it
I don't know if this counts but I had a non-lesbian "girl crush" on a girl who attends the gym I go to for a while. Later when I went in for my first mammogram, she was the technologist :S
