How did your high school crush turn out as an adult?
Became a professional cheerleader, Died of breast cancer at 34.
Googling names from high school is crazy!
I dont know about you guys but I had way too many crushes in highschool
His friend murdered him over a girl.
She ended up dating and marrying the guy who bullied me all through middle school and highschool.
They seem like a functional family from what I see on social media.
My wife's former crush randomly messaged her on facebook one day.
She beep him on day two.
She's now my ex-wife, she's jobless living with his mom, and I have the kids.
edit: It would figure that this is my most up-voted post.
My kids are 5 and 3 so they don't understand it much but i'm hoping for the long game when they realize which parent was really there for them.
My son still says hurtful things at times like "I don't want to live with you any more, I want to live with mommy" when he's angry.
Thank you everyone for making my week, I really needed to
smile.
It's my son's first week in kindergarten and dealing with her through the process has been hell.
My English teacher still looks fine as beep
Hedge fund manager with a trophy wife.
My high school ex randomly sent me a text years after we split up that went "I know you don't like metal, but I thought you'd like this" and a link to a clarinet cover of a metal song (I played in HS).
Little did he know that I hated playing clarinet and I was now a total metal head.
I briefly worked with mine and didn't realise it was her until I left for another job.
She looked almost unrecognisable, but it was 15 years after I last saw her.
She's married with a couple of kids now, so pretty standard life I guess.
Making me wonder what I ever saw in them
My only GF in high school was my crush.
Her mom banned her from dating me after about a year because my GF admitted to her mom that we were fooling around.
This was about 20 years ago.
She’s still living with her mom, no kids, and as far as I know never again dated seriously after her mom broke us up.
Still has the same job from high school too.
It’s like her mom went way into protective overdrive and my former GF never grew up.
You made me check and she is actually a very successful artist and an art teacher at a renowned university in France.
She even got decorated for her work (Chevalier des arts et des lettres)
Overdosed and died last year.
I got to see him before he was taken off life support with a really good mutual friend we shared (organ donor too).
It was surreal seeing him dwarfed by all these machines.
He had one the largest hearts I’ve ever come across.
Edit - Graduated back in the early 2000s and last year - 2019 (wtf is time even anymore)
Still super hot.
She married some loser and has a few kids with him.
That loser was me.
Just celebrated 22 years of marriage.
Edit: cause werds r hard.
Still a ten for looks.
I'm sure she kept on as the amazing, kind person she is.
She moved to another country, speaks multiple languages and is more successful than I imagined.
She seems happy but we haven't talked since the time I told her how I felt about her about 20 years ago.
Went on to be a teenaged model for hair products, graduated from Yale, toured Europe, opened her own successful ceramics company that is sold worldwide and is often written up in magazines.
Makes me feel like beep every time I think of her.
Hot douche who doesn’t really do much except go to the gym.
To be fair, that’s how he was in high school, I just liked it back then.
Pretty good.
Seems to have her life together, although she had a few setbacks.
She's gone back to uni since job prospects in here field kinda sucked, but seems to be really enjoying it.
​
She's dating me though, so clearly her judgement sucks.
She ended up getting knocked up by a freshman shortly after we graduated.
Dead by 32, drugs
I was a freshman and had a crush on a senior.
To add to it, she was a cheerleader and her brother played QB for the football team (and got a college scholarship.)
She showed up at a football game a couple of years later with a baby in tow.
She’s married now and back in her hometown.
That’s about all I know.
My first high school crush who sat next to me in freshman year English was a really cute punk rock girl and she’s gone on to become an incredibly hot fitness model.
One I don't keep track of at all, I'm not sure what she's up to.
The other I married, she turned out awesome.
Just checking in to confirm that I was no one's high school crush.
Carry on...
Hes doing good for himself!
He's grown emotionally, has a seemingly healthy relationship with a longtime girlfriend, and is working healthfully on all his career and personal goals
She's still hot, successful and wealthy entrepreneur, and married someone with the same first name as me and who quit his job to brew beer.
I crushed on her for a bit, didn't think she was interested so I dated others, then come to find out she crushed on me senior year, I was too dumb and blind, we connected freshman year of college, she wrote me letters, and by the time I wised up she had moved on.
No one to blame but myself.
Ended up committing suicide a few years after high school.
She was a teacher and got caught having an affair with a female student.
Edit: Reddit is weird af.
Some interesting comments here....
Going to an all boys school sucks for having realistic crushes.
However, ran into one of the teachers years later and she still looked bellissima.
Found her on tinder, she said I was hot.
Pointed out that I was that loser she used to know in highschool.
Had a big laugh.
Been a little over a year, now we send eachother memes and hang out occasionally when the pandemic isnt being a beep
An insanely talented molecular biology researcher at Boston.
And she’s still insanely attractive
Edit: it looks like a lot of people feel like they know this same person.
it’s crazy how many molecular biologists people know
I never made a move in high school.
About 7 years after graduating, I saw her on social media and said what the hell and asked her out.
We’ve been dating for about 2 years and I’m about to pop the big question!
Mine was my best friend.
She turned out to be a pedophile.
She always liked younger guys...like when she was 17 she had a 13 year old boyfriend which was weird...but we were kids and I didnt think about it much.
Turns out she continued to like younger teens as she grew into her 20s and 30s.
She worked with the Obama administration (I forgot in what capacity) got married to some politician’s son (don’t remember don’t care to look up.)
She is happy and that’s the only thing that matters, oh she was also our schools Valedictorian she was so busy with her job she could not organizeour high school reunion so that’s a plus.
I wasn’t head over heels for her I admired her but I knew I wasn’t for her.
Then there’s another crush of mine, we ran into each other years after graduation at grocery store.
After talking I asked her out to
dinner at my house, I pull out all the stops I buy rainbow trout filets and make all the fixings.
6:30 rolls around I open the door and “who the hell is this man behind her?” Oh this is my fiancé , she tells (neglected to tell me about) me.
Turns out they wanted to sell me on some MLM thing.
She tried to cross the threshold I put my arm out and asked them politely to leave.
I turned away from the door and had my saddest meal I ever ate.
Edit: thanks for the hugs Reddit family
She passed away our senior year, six months after she agreed to marry me after we graduated :(
There was a girl I really admired for a while, she didnt really give me the time of day after freshman year though.
She was co-valedictorian and hugged me as I crossed the stage at graduation, and no one else got one.
I'm still really confused about that 6 years later.
She went on to med school and is either married or at least engaged to a guy she met there.
Overall shes doing really well, and I'm happy for her.
Edit: Thanks for all the warm wishes and thoughts, guys.
I'm just happy for her, and glad she's doing well.
I had three.
One from the first two years and two from the last two.
The first one is now F to M trans, who walked to Colorado to join a cult/commune.
He is now in Arizona recording rap albums.
The second girl moved to Florida and lives in a swamp.
She periodically hits me up to tell me she misses me, how dumb I was that I didn't follow through, that we should get married.
The third was a missionary.
She wasn't really into it once she grew up, came back home and I introduced her to one of my closest friends.
They've been married for 15 years.
0/3.
My friends high school crush was Tom Holland... Like they went to the same school
They both ended up as great guys.
One has a huge family and is a minister.
The other only has one child and is a college professor.
Both married nice people and are happy.
They were really good guys in high school and ended up being really good adults.
I've got both of them on Facebook and we keep in touch peripherally as we stayed friends over the years.
About to be my fiancé if all goes well!
Found out she was fat and unattractive.
Then I realized I was too.
She turned out great, she married me.
We actually met in kindergarten.
She has a dog and I don’t!
Still cute as heck, one of the kindest and most sensitive people I know, and still one of my best friends 15 years later.
He's also recently divorced (his wife was gay but needed time and support to come to terms with it) and now he and I are slowly testing the waters :) What started as a crush has matured into a deep and rich friendship, and—however it may unfold—I'm so grateful to have that relationship in my life.
Very well.
He joined the military and served for a number of years (was in after Vietnam and out before the Gulf war, so I'm not sure if he actually saw much active duty) and then settled in Korea where he trained in Tae Kwan Do and did a lot of professional fighting, and won a lot of awards.
Attained the rank of Grand Master and returned to the US and opened a very successful school that specializes in TKD and Hapkido.
Has opened additional locations, and is currently looking to open one in our old home town.
I imagine that will happen post COVID.
I had a few in high school.
One ended up moving away after sophomore year and no one knew why.
She reached out to me when I had a mental breakdown online and said that she could understand what I was going through, some beep up beep happened to her though she never said what specifically.
I didn't ask further because it wasn't my business to pry.
I'm not sure how she is now
Another got super hot after high school and she did a degree in science.
Again not sure where she is now but I think she'd doing alright
And the 3rd works at a bank.
We ended on bad terms (partially my fault, I found out she was making fun of me behind my back and had done so for months beforehand so I sent her an angry message).
Haven't seen her since then
I had several!
One of them is still a close friend, and he became a primary care doctor.
He also officiated my wedding.
I have no idea what happened to another one.
We didn't really have overlapping friend groups and she doesn't do social media.
One of them is a math professor now, so that's pretty cool.
My BIGGEST crush in high school was my longtime neighbor, but it also fizzled out pretty quickly after we went to homecoming together.
We're still good friends, and our families still keep in touch.
He's also the guy who introduced me to my husband.
Haha, my husband!
Our first marriages didn't work out and we reconnected after our divorces.
If only I would have confessed I had a crush on him in high school, might have saved myself a lot of trouble... Lol
Edit : THANKS for the awards, everyone!
She was aware then, over 30 years ago, but it was unrequited.
We've been in casual contact through Facebook for the past several years, and once before that my wife (at the time) and I had her and her husband over for dinner.
From what I can tell, she's grown into a person I probably would have been happy with.
It's nice to see my high school perspective got a few things right.
I think we'd be good friends if we lived closer.
She appears to be living a good life with her husband and family.
With my second wife, I'm happier than I could have ever
imagined.
Life worked out well.
Turns out i was attracted to losers and burnouts lol.
That hasnt changed much
Turns out he’s gay, and got fired from a teaching job for having inappropriate relationships with his male students.
Edit: I should clarify that to my knowledge he was not beep the students, but he *was* caught sending lewd text messages and whatnot.
She married some idiot and had my babies.
They’re all stunning and wildly successful.
One in particular was a crush with a similar name to mine dating back from my elementary school, which turned out to be the longest crush (an entire decade) I’ve ever had, and still appearing in a looping dream sequence to this day.
Especially, after that bitter (and frankly traumatic) rejection before we parted ways when I confessed to her.
At that point we were classmates for five years and were going to different schools.
After the separation that’s when the dreams began and every time I woke up I’m feeling emotional all over again.
Took me another painful five years before I stopped
crushing on her, but the dreams never stopped.
Just last week I had an update to the dream sequence where we actually talked for the first time in a decade of Groundhog Day-levels of dreams.
I know, it’s pathetic.
Life update edit on that particular crush: She’s currently aspiring to be an architect and had an equally cool boyfriend so I doubt she ever looked back on her past as much as I do.
I recently tried to follow her on her socials to get a life update from herself but she won’t accept my requests, so I won’t gonna force her.
Back when I was younger and crushing hard I got on AOL instant messenger and had gotten my crush’s screenname from a friend.
I worked up the nerve to start a conversation with him and soon after some awkward small talk he sent me a message in Comic Sans, black background, red lettering, and in French.
I then went to google for translation and found out he had just called me a pig, in French.
Being a seemingly awkward and chubby teenager, I was literally crushed.
The heartbreak was only made worse by remembering that a few weeks prior I had selected to take French class the next year and couldn’t change it.
Years later now that I’ve *blossomed* he follows me on every social media platform, has reached out a couple of times to try and flirt/hang out.
Hard pass.
I believe he’s moved away and is a teacher now.
I met her in 1987.
We got married 5 years ago.
We used to go to the same punk shows, that's where met.
She’s a tik tok influencer who shaved off her eyebrows and draws symbols on her face.........yeeeeaaaaa
An MLM lady.
Anti-vax.
Glad I got out!
May your day be filled with joy and happiness.
