Have you ever "got" the girl/guy?

[MrFluffy-X]

I was discussing this with my friends the other day.

We have all had crushes but we either:
a) Mess it up or
b) Never do anything about it (mainly me because I?m a wimp when it comes to girls)

We have all met our ex-/girlfriends when we're in a nightclub and 90% of the time we're also drunk. Never has there been a girl in my life that I properly had to "fight" for.

SO have you ever had a happy ending and worked your ass off to get the girl or guy you had a crush on?

I wanna read some happy stories here people! =D

Well, I recently told a friend who I'd fancied for ages that I'd fancied her to ages. Via Skype. Text. While she was offline. Yeh, so very classy and romantic.

Anyway, she signed in the next day for about ten seconds, then went/appeared offline. It was only later on that day that she replied, also through Skype text, while I was offline, to the tune of "Feel the same way, but don't want to ruin our friendship, and uni would make it complicated."

So... yeah. I'm glad I got that off my chest, and I'm glad she reacted the way she did, but now I feel like everything I say or do is being analysed. Ah well.

 

[ReservoirAngel]

If by "work your arse off" you mean "act innocent yet seductive until said crush asks you out" then yes. Yes I have.

I've always ended up with the object of my affections... that's generally how dating and relationships work. Isn't it? I'm confused.

 

[badgersprite]

Yes, but it wasn't worth it and we amicably broke up soon after.

Crushes often turn out to be less awesome in reality than the idealised version you picture as a rosy-eyed teenager. Basically, I just realised I didn't have those feelings for her anymore and moved on.

Other relationships have happened more spontaneously and ironically lasted longer.

 

[StormShaun]

Im working on it!

Post this topic in a few years and I will tell you if it worked, I hope it will.

 

[Mr.Numbers]

I can't...Because to many girls like me.

I helped teach a class, and every female member of it developed a crush on me.

I've had 3 girlfriends in 4 weeks (Broke up on the first, had one for a day one week later (She can't have boyfriends without having a panic attack but for some reason I was worth it) and now a new relationship on a girl who has had a crush on me for years).

Greatest achievement? I temporarily turned a lesbian straight (Or at least Bi)...And when we broke up I'm the reason she's come out of the closet.

I love my life so much.

I went to high school with a beautiful girl who was one of the popular ones. At college we became best friends and I developed a big crush on her. The crush eventually went away and, shortly after, we got together. We then spent 18 months together in a very 'peaks and valleys' relationship (she was quite a *****). So yeah I did manage to get the girl but the girl turned out to be a slight prick
Recently I've had a crush on a girl at university. She's known about it and has spent loads of time with me in order to try and make herself feel the same way which was sweet but, in the end, didn't work. We just graduated and, figuring I had nothing to lose, I got everything out in the open. It was tough and really sucked but now I can move on, I guess

So yeah, it's possible but not always worth it. Then sometimes you crash and burn and that's just as bad

 

[similar.squirrel]

I am thoroughly repulsive to the opposite sex because I'm interested in archaic software and military history.


Anyway.. My first kiss was with a girl that I had a huge crush on, which could be counted as a success. It never progressed beyond that, sadly.
And one time I liked a girl, and she liked me back, and we dated for a few months. Apart from those examples, it's usually been a case of girls approaching me with romantic intent. The last time around, I convinced myself that I didn't like her, because I didn't want to complicate things and ruin my life. Then it turned out that she liked me, and it led to a wonderful 2 year relationship.

...Im confused the straight closet or the gay closet?

ummm....Ive only ever had one crush and that would probably never work...especially thease days

...you're either trolling or genuinely really attractive so it always works out for you. Congrats!

No it never has worked out, it never will. Sucks but I was born ugly as f*** and I ain't willing to encase myself in plastic and silicone muscles *cough jerseyshore cough* so that's how it's gonna be.

 

[Palademon]

I've never gotten any girl.
I screwed up the only chance with the only one I ever had feelings for, and now I realise that that was probably a good thing. And I managed to do all that without a single date.

Oh god I'm not really attractive. I've been called ugly my fair share, but you really don't need to be gorgeous to get the guy/girl of your dreams. I'm just attracted to people, I guess, in my league - and it's my personality that shines through a hooks them.

So no, neither trolling nor remarkably attractive. Just normal.

Flirted with a girl for ages online whilst I was at Uni, we knew each other from school and got to chatting on Facebook again. I came home and we ended up meeting a few times and one thing lead to another...
This happened for a bit but I didn't want a relationship as I had broken up with some one just before we started talking to each and it had destroyed me and left me a broken husk for a couple of months.
One day she asked if I wanted to make it official and I said no, she was ok with it and we were still good friends. I sat down and had a good long think for a few hours and thought bugger it, I've been doing all this work to get with her for ages, why the hell shouldn't we be a proper boyfriend/girlfriend type thing. So I asked her out later that same day.

EDIT: She said yes and we are still going strong.

 

[Tonythion]

No, I never got the girl.
Then again I never really worked hard for her. I gave up before I started.
I was too afraid, I wasn't good enough for her, there are much better guys out there for her.
She's in Harvard for goodness sakes and I'm currently un-employed and not in school.

Though I will say--for a brief couple of days I was her boyfriend. It was just a valentines day prank and to get some guy off of her back.

No worries though, I'm over it I decided to leave my past behind and try harder the next time I like someone.

 

[Alexias_Sandar]

I'm married to my high school crush, 6 years now, we've been together for 12 years. So...yeah. Quite happy that way, too.

 

[garfoldsomeoneelse]

The way I see it, nobody's really worth the effort, considering the mercurial nature of life, people and relationships. If someone requires a heavy investment of time to open up, they'll probably be someone else by the time you reach them; meanwhile, there's billions of other people out there, each with a different hand of cards to play, and it really doesn't take a lot of searching to find a compatible person with a favorable situation. I don't really see a point in throwing time and resources at a singular "maybe, maybe not" opportunity in a world packed to the brim with options that are statistically guaranteed to have a shot of doing you one better.

 

[Tharwen]

Yep, and neither of us were drunk. Now I just need to work on making a relationship last for longer than about 4 days...
