It's romantic because it didn't happen.

Back in college, I had this huge crush over a guy who wrote for the school paper. He's not even handsome. What drew me to him was his witty attempt at humor which was relevant in his writings. We talked for a few instances (3 times maybe) and I was completely devastated when he got himself a pretty girlfriend. Time for me to move on, I told myself. Uni was over. I got a life of my own. Then I stumbled upon his profile on FB. He still has the same China eyes and I was lost in a sea of memories for a while. That gooey, mushy, seventh heaven feeling is nice. I sorta, kinda miss it. But then it's romantic because it didn't happen. Photo is of a Pokemon which appeared during my lunch.

Your post just brought me back to the time of my uni days. He was the ugliest in the group but his voice...I kept his picture in my dashboard, bought it everywhere. Showed it to everybody including my siblings and uncle and i was proud to say he was my crush. It was no secret! And people were shocked every time i told them so, since he was really ugly. But i loved him. A one sided love affair lol!

Wow , so you really have reminisced your feelings towards your college crush . As to my crush in College , i get to know what happened to him now because he doesn't even notice me during those times . Now , he is driving a pedicab , separated and depending on the allowance being given to him by his child now working abroad . Though , i still would like to know how he looks now . Perhaps i will take a look at FB so i will know how he looks now .

I had the same kind of feelings for a guy that I worked with when I was in my 30's. He wasn't a looker but he did have a great sense of humor. We did go out once but we just never connected.

The feeling is sublime. I remember my crush when I was in college. He was one of our Judo student instructor. I never like the subject and because of him. I learned to roll over, bend and do the slamming just to get his attention. lol Got an A for that. lol
