Today, I finally decided to accept a date proposal from a guy who's had a crush on me for years. I got into his car, and it smelled strongly of my middle school perfume. I went into his bedroom and saw my middle school class photos hanging everywhere. Let's just say I ran home that night. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to a party and met a guy who was super charming. We hit it off, and he seemed really into me. After talking for a while, he leaned in for a kiss, and I thought, "This is it!" But instead of a kiss, he just sniffed my hair, then said, "Wow, you smell just like my mom!" FML
Today, I've had a crush on a guy for a while - a friend of mine knows this. I finally decided to find out once and for all if there was any chance with him, so I drove to his house, armed with a home cooked meal and wine, only to find the very friend I confided in was at his house. It turns out they are now an item. FML
Today, I was walking into class when the guy i like walked in and said "Gross it smells like grandma in here. What, did someone bathe in their perfume today?" I was the only girl in the room and I just bought new perfume. I thought I smelled good, apparently I didn't. FML
Today, after countless nights spent together and flirty texts, I decided ask my crush on a date while at a party. We went on a walk and held hands. Just as I asked him, he said no, let go of my hand and briskly walked away. He was my ride home. FML
Today, I was at a party at the house of the guy I really like. We were talking when he pulled me into his room. I was excited he was finally taking our friendship to the next level, until he handed me a stick of deodorant, saying, "I didn't wanna tell you in the hallway, but you really need this." FML
Today, the guy I've been crushing on for years and I finally went on a date. While on the date, he threw up in my purse and stuck tampons up his nose. FML
Today, my date suggested we go to 10:30 p.m. movie so we could "talk" in the car afterwards, when the parking lot was empty. Thus, at 1 a.m., I thought we were going to make out. However, he only asked where I get my car air freshener from, had me write down the scent, and then suggested we go home. FML
Today, I realized that it wasn't my science partner that smelled bad, it was me. How? The guy I have a crush on handed me a stick of deodorant and said, "Please use it." FML
Today, I finally went on a date with my crush. When he kissed me goodnight, it made me think of a dying slug. FML
Today, after weeks of psyching myself up, I finally asked my crush to go out for coffee. She smiled and said yes. Feeling on top of the world, I turned to leave, walked straight into an opening glass door, and gave myself a nosebleed before the date had even happened. FML

I'm surprised there wasn't a shrine! Well maybe there was but you just didn't look hard enough.

I've heard people say that middle school is the time of your life but this is ridiculous... I hope you're okay OP!

She had to look into the closet to find the shrine molded in her likeness from her used chewing gum.

Not creepy if it's a tasteful one. You know, with just one poster and a few candles (referring to the stalker in ME series).

Run, Forrest, Run!

Middle school is the worst time of your life, hah. Makes it creepy that he obsessed the most on her awkward adolescent phase.
SherbetGlitter 26
Hahaha awkwardness definitely, but it was a simpler time back then... part of me wishes I could go back if it weren't for puberty. But the ability to be a kid when you wanted and grown up when you wanted is definitely appealing, much better than always having to be a grown up...

I miss my middle school days. Back when the most drama in my life was my "friends" thinking I was weird. No living situation or work or relationship woes.

Middle school sucked. You were old enough to do a ton of work but young enough to get treated like shit.

He's got a wall of shame in his room

Let's look at the positives OP! At least you escaped and didn't end up in a shed in his backyard..

When you're young and really into someone, what seems like creepy to others can just be his way of showing devotion. Overbearing maybe, but not generally malicious. Hormones make you do weird stuff in those years. Unless we're talking like this is a 25 yr old guy obsessing over pics of a 13 yr old girl, then we're into mental illness territory.

No, the photos are creepy.

I don't know what kind of teenagers you know but if that's normal to them, they need therapy. Even with hormones. Hormones mess you up, okay, but if you're a normal human they don't turn you into a psychopath. Obsessing that way over someone is not normal nor healthy, no matter the age.

The furthest most teenagers go in obsessing over someone is social media stalking, which most people have probably done at one point.

I'm wondering why he only has you middle school photos; I feel like any good stalker would be more updated!

He's creepier than Helga from Hey Arnold.

Why would you go into his house much less his bedroom? Esp after noticing your middle-school perfume?
mariri9206 32
I'm wondering the exact same thing.

The perfume could have been a coincidence

Good for you for not staying.
