43. I was 15 and I had a crush on this boy for two years. One day a friend of mine told me that he was about to ask me out. He came up to me, said hello and while anxiety took the best of me I wanted to look cool so I said: “Hm, do I actually know you? Are you new in school?” He instantly turned around and left. We had been classmates since elementary school…
44. Thirteen years old, I learned my crush had taken ballroom dancing lessons. Delighted to have something to talk to him about, I proceeded to harass him all of homecoming with what I probably thought was good-natured ribbing. Looking back, I was being an asshole and straight up making fun of him. Poor guy took it like a champ, but fucking hell I had no idea how to be social.
