Pretty tame or simple question compared to my others. But just curious. Have you ever had a crush. From primary school. Highschool. College. Work etc. That you never ever made a move on and now either you moved away. Or you finished with school or they left etc and you regret it.
Does it bother you still today? Or are you fine with it? If you currently dating someone or in a relationship but knew your crush would of said yes would you break up with your current SO? You can answer any of the extras if you want in your opinion below.

Do you have any crushes from school you never made a move on and regret it?
I liked someone in high school and he liked me back. We never told the other, but we flirted and sort of acted like an unofficial couple. But he was afraid of my older, overprotective brother and I wasn't as confident when it came to guys back in the day. So we were never official. I used to wonder what if, esp when we drifted apart. A few years later (b/w my college years) he admitted he still liked me and thinks I'm cute. If it was meant to be, something would've happened. Maybe him admitting it randomly by chance was a sign, I don't know. But were different people now and I actually felt this unexplainable feelings about someone new I had met, a new friend. Things worked out though bc around the same time I found out he still had a thing for me and we could have a second chance was around the same time I started talking/dating my current SO (that new friend that I had unexplainable feelings of him being important to me in the future). Things happen for a reason. I'm glad I chose my SO and didn't try to pursue my old flame. I have no regrets.
I'm at high school I have a crush Didn't make a move and probably won't I don't think that I'll regret it because I know deep in heart that it won't work..
Never know till you try. Of course could lead to broken heart. But could also lead to a lot of happiness. I rather know my crush doesn't like me than always wander
I know him pretty well. He's not the type of a shy guy. I'd rather not move on than to do something and to get heartbroken. In the end, I'm sure that I'll be able to get over him.
Oh gosh yes. We were only in 6th grade, and her friend said she liked me, and wanted to "go out". I liked her too, and we were super good friends leading up to that point. I panicked thinking it'd ruin our friendship, and her friend (my friend too) kept bugging me so I just shouted "No!" She heard me and looked crushed. I felt guilty about it, but she had already changed her mind about it. Ironically, it eventually contributed to ruining our friendship. I went to 7th-12th grade with her, and we barely spoke at all after 8th grade. I haven't even seen her in 8 years. So I regret that decision a bit, but for all I know things could have been worse or the same if I had said yes.
Yeah, I have a friend I first met senior year of high school, then really fell for in college (we were at the same school). I actually did ask her out once and she originally said yes, but then changed her mind, likely because she was interested in someone else at the time but that never played out. The next two years we stayed really good friends and I had some sense she might be interested, but was afraid the friendship wouldn't survive me asking again if she wasn't. Still can't get her out of my head and am kicking myself for not going for it a couple years later now.
Happend more than once! My first love was a girl I grew up with, and eventually we were even in college together. The day I decided to confess my love, she announced her new boyfriend to everyone (so I didn't). Crushing! Happened EXACTLY the same way with another girl 4 years later. Could barely believe it!
I met my wife in a first aid class before working together at a summer camp... does that count? Fell in love with her in less than two weeks. Married 11 years with two kids. Loving it!
I had one, he also liked me, but he was involved with my best friend at the time, so... Anyways, they broke up, we kissed once, my best kiss ever, but then we went to collage, different towns... 10 years later, he moved to the town I was living in, asked him on facebook is he would like to meet, but never replied, we were both married, still... there are some huge regrets there :-)
There was one who I refer to as "The ugly duckling" who I talked to quite often in high school. She was like me, kinda shy, out of her element. But, I knew that when she got older, she would be in the bad bitch club. Lo and behold, she is now the finest chick that I went to school with. I see her on Facebook and she is jaw dropping bad. Glasses are gone, acne is gone, all that's left is cock hardening beauty. I grew up as well, but I won't beat my chest about that.

Yes, and what will drive you crazy is when you go to your 10 year High School Reunion and discover all the opportunities you missed. People often reveal and tell your former crush about it during that reunion... the results can be shocking and frustrating
yes, there were an female English teacher,, i was a small kid back then, and she was soo beautiful, i was in love with her, lol xD but other than that, yeah i had a crush on a girl, she was a A+ student, always gets A+ and 1st positions in every class, and i was the opposite of that, i always failed in every class, and she used to hate me a lot too, lol
Does a teacher count? I was a good bit younger so I didn't make any move, nor have any hint that she would have even accepted, but after reading about all these female teachers in the last few years I wish I had a time machine.
I did dated my crush when I was in high school but then the school it got banned to have boyfriend /gf. went out with my others crushes in college turn most them only care short term relationship. got cheated on twice. is was 4 ex bfs.
After I left college, three girls I know told me "oh I totally fancied you back in school". Makes me look back on this abstinent years with some regret but it would only have been sex; i wasn't right for any of them long-term so how mad can you get?
I'm totally fine with it, I've always had trouble with the idea of being in a relationship... and for the same reason I would have to be very in love to be in a relationship, so I wouldn't leave that partner for someone of my past.
Yeah but over time I got over it and realized I would have never had the experiences I did if I ended up with the first girl I liked

i have always held back from making a move and still do but i do not regret it because i know i am unattractive and not my crushes type so there would be no point in trying anyway
Several, in fact. I kinda have mixed feelings about all of them. They ended up with great guys and I'm still looking, but I can't say they'd have been happy with me. So in the end, I'm okay with it.
Yep all the crushes I’ve ever had I’ve never made a move because they never show interest so I’m not gonna make myself look like a fool and approach them.
