19 Slightly Deranged Things You Did When You Had A School Crush

Back in the day, you took the art of courtship very seriously. Winning the heart of a fellow classmate took a lot more than a swipe to the right and a cheesy pickup line.

"Don't turn around, but Pikachu is looking at your right now." "No way?!" "Way!" Your craftiness and cunning were unparalleled. No doubt MI6 would come knocking on your door in years to come.

We've all been there: completely lost for words when you wish you could come up with something witty and charming to say. I feel you Georgia. Hnnnnnnnggggggg exactly.

Everyone was so afraid of actually having to interact with their crush at a school disco that the boys danced on one side and the girls danced on the other.

You were happy to eat bugs on a dare but kissing was out of the question! Your kisses were reserved for your Justin Timberlake poster, and no one else.

A playground wedding was an intimate occasion, attended by a gaggle of your classmates and lasting the full twenty minutes of breaktime. It was just so beautiful. *sob*

Another place where people frequently chose to write about their school crushes was on the inside walls of toilet cubicles. It doesn't get more romantic than that.

You could have just asked them after class, but you just COULDN'T WAIT. Which always ended up with your love note being read aloud by the teacher, much to your absolute horror.

Changing your MSN screen name to "I (L) ???" was also sure to catch their eye. MSN basically taught you everything that you needed to know about love.

Why talk to your crush when you can just follow them around? Lurking showed that you cared.

If you even brushed shoulders, you would document the time, date and location of the encounter that night in your diary. You may have also thrown in a stick figure illustration if you were feeling creative.

Things that made you cool in school: wearing your rucksack on one shoulder, sitting at the back of the bus, and going out with someone in the year above. If you were that cool, you'd be ICE COLD!

They're, like, a whole year below you! They're so young! Unless you want to gain a reputation as a cradle-snatching cougar, you'd better move on.

Oh, the plight of a ten year old: 15p Freddos and unrequited love. Unfortunately, love is still as confusing as ever and the price of Freddos will probably continue to rise until the end of time.
