I'm just wondering if anyone else had crushes on guys (not famous ones) who never knew you existed. I can think of so many in 7th and 8th and even 9th grade. I'd get a crush on a guy and he was generally one of those popular, preppy, pretty boys way out of my league. I wouldn't go out of my way to make him notice me, but it would always crush me when I learned he was now going out with someone else or danced with someone else.
Did anyone else experience this or was I alone in this? Thanks!
Oh yes, I experienced this, LOL. I was pretty quiet in school, especially middle school, and when I was in 6th and 7th grade I was in *love* with this guy 1 year older than me. I remember attending a school dance and he was dancing with his girlfriend, I honestly hated her. I didn't even know her, I just hated her for dancing with *my* man...LOL! He never even knew I existed or that I had these feelings for him.
There was another guy in high school too. He was 2 or 3 years older and I knew EVERYTHING about him. He probably would have freaked if he knew what I knew about him.
...I knew EVERYTHING about him. He probably would have freaked if he knew what I knew about him.
Same here...I knew their schedules at school, where they lived, family members, what they ate for lunch, where they sat, what sports they played and who their friends were.
I wouldn't talk to them or anything, but for some reason, I expected them to notice me and I was hurt when they didn't! Well, duh! At least do something--even if it's stupid!
I had a crush on this one guy in 8th-9th grade, & he didn't even know I existed. He was popular, cool, an athlete, etc. I was pretty much none of the above. He moved away & changed schools after 9th grade, though, so I forgot about him after that.
But then the next year there was another guy I developed a big-time crush on. He was in my class, & since our last names started with the same letter we often got seated next to each other. So I talked to him from time to time, but I was WAY too shy to ever actually let him know I liked him. I knew where he lived & even called his house & hung up when someone answered once! My hardcore crush on this guy faded after awhile, but I always did sort of like him all the way through the rest of high school. Unfortunately he had a steady GF most of that time, & I believe he even married her after graduation.

Are you kidding? Every single guy I liked was after me with a butterfly net and drool running down his chin. I never had a moment of insecurity when it came to boys.
Hee Couldn't resist. But in all honesty, to your question--who hasn't?
YES, I had the biggest crush on a guy named Jay. We were friends but it seemed like no matter how much I hinted he didnt realize I liked him. WELL, 10 years later and I am living with him!!! Turns out he liked me too and we were both stupid and didnt say anything.

I bordered on stalking throughout high school. There were a couple of guys that I had crushes on- one at a time, though. I would strategically place myself near them to hear their conversations. I would invent reasons to have my friends talk to them. In the end I ended up being friends with them, but still secretly obsessing over them. I despised anyone they went out with. Looking back, I know I was ridiculous, these guys were not good people, they would constantly make fun of me, and I didn't know it.
In 9th grade, I had a crush on a senior. He knew I existed because we were in marching band together, but we didn't ever hang out. He was just the nicest guy, and for some reason, I thought that not talking to him for two months would show that I wasn't that interested in him. Whatever .
In 10th grade, I had a crush on a guy two years older than me, who also knew I existed because we were in band together. He was super nice too. But again, didn't ever hang out together.
Both of these guys were Mormon too. I wonder what's up with that . They were both just really good guys.
I had a HUGE crush on this guy in 7th grade, but he knew it and he treated me like crap. But like a puppy, I did anything he asked, and it was sooooooo lame. We ended up becoming really good friends in high school, and he has since apologized for being a jerk.
I had a crush on a guy who was two years ahead of me in HS. We were in band together, and I joined the drama club because he was a member. I knew his class schedule and would take particular routes to my classes so I could see him in the hallways. He dated three of my friends over the course of two years, which was agonizing for me, (if he HAD to be with someone other than me, at least they were people I liked) because we would hang out as a group all the time and I was SOOOO jealous! After he graduated, he continued his relationship with the third friend, but she cheated on him while he was off at college, which totally pissed me off.
I ended up going to the same college that he did and would see him around occasionally. His last year in college, I finally got the courage to ask him out. And he totally didn't understand that I was asking him on a date, not just to hang out as friends. It was completely crushing, but at least I got some closure on the whole thing and don't have to wonder "what if". As it was, by the time I asked him out, I'd had a crush on him for about six years.
Oh gosh, my favorite "crush" story:
I was a dork. I didn't have many friends (but I was happy!) and I certianly wasn't popular. In 7th grade, I had a total crush on this popular boy Chris. I can remember playing Dodge Ball in gym, and trying really hard to hit him. Just him, no one else. I'm sure this all built up in my little mind, but we finally had a Jr. High dance (WHAT AN AWFUL IDEA, PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!). I waited and waited to get the courage to ask him to dance, and finally did for the last slow song. He just looked at me funny and said he was already dancing with someone. I waited to see who he was dancing with (Stephanie) and proceeded to go into the bathroom and cry.
The thing is, I am not (and have never been) a dramatic person. So as I cried in the stall, I was thinking to myself, "This is so stupid. Why am I locked in a bathroom stall crying? It's just an idiot boy!"
I didn't realize I harbored resentment against Stephanie until we both tried out for the same sports team in 10th or 11th grade. We were equally terrible, but I wanted so badly for her to get cut.
Oh, good times. When I think about how distracted I was throughout 7-12th grade, I wonder how I learned anything at all. And, I fear for my students
