Claimed to be a Tyler the Creator fan just to chat with him. Then—plot twist—he surprised me with concert tickets. I crammed all the songs and now I’m a real fan. Win-win!
Hit the books hard so my name would pop up right next to his on the class ranking. Math crush level: expert.
Memorized his laugh to time my walks just right, so I’d accidentally bump into him downstairs. Spoiler: It wasn’t an accident.
Picked up chess just to impress him. Didn’t get it at first, got hooked later, won a contest against him. Checkmate!
Tried hard to get into detention where he was, but surprise, I was so good at school no one would punish me. I started begging teachers, seriously.
Pretended I lived near him for a whole year to see him more (actually lived 20 minutes away). When he finally came over, I ‘moved.’
Nearly fell off a cliff just so he’d catch me. He grabbed me by the waist, so technically I saved myself... kinda.
Became besties with his mom, studied her every move, and made sure every 'random' meeting was planned perfectly. Got set up or set up the setup?
Found his Spotify, memorized every track, added them to my playlists... and now we’re engaged. Music truly brings people together.
Watched a 3-hour quantum physics video and took notes just to sound smart at school the next day. Nerd love!
Snagged two pairs of Vans just to match his shoe vibe. First time he noticed, I was on cloud nine.
Had three classes with him and turned sideways in my seat just to sneak peeks—even when he sat behind me. Yes, he knew.
Went through and blocked 1,300 followers from my stories—one by one—leaving him as the one and only. Called it low-key but it screams intense.
Watched every episode of One Piece to bond. Because nothing says connection like pirate adventures.
He lived in Canada, so I took a flight, said I was on vacation, and suggested we hang out. Random? Totally planned.
In fifth grade, memorized his family’s license plates, his address, Chinese names, and stalked his Roblox games to impress.
Created a fake female profile to flirt, then badmouthed myself so he’d defend the real me. Plot twist: he disliked me and thought I was weird. Oops!
He said his fave animal was an elephant, so I rocked an elephant t-shirt, grey pants, and a chunky elephant necklace. Subtle? Nope.
In 4th grade, performed a pole dance and shouted his name just to get him looking. Bold and brave!
Followed his mom (a dance teacher), took dance classes, became her favorite. Sneaky but effective!
While everyone chatted Pavlovian theory, I penned a 3-page love letter in French. Très romantic.
Made fake accounts to flirt and then rejected them, so when he logged in, he’d see how faithful I was. Talk about controlling the narrative!
Interrupted our chat by chasing a squirrel (Hunger Games vibes), but the squirrel totally outran me. Not my finest hour.
Took his water bottle, found out the brand was Costco’s. So I hit the store every chance to catch him. Detective work for love!
He was a psychiatrist, so I dug through decades of newsletters from his university to casually drop knowledge in sessions. Nerd alert!
Feigned bad vision in third grade so I could get glasses like his. Heartbreaker? No, just poor eyesight now.
Once drew a knight rescue scene featuring him. Turns out, he found it and ripped it up in front of me. Oof.
Tracked all his liked reels, jotted down their themes, and brought them up casually. Spy-level dedication.
Discovered his biological dad photo and shared it with him when I was only 11. Talk about dedication!
Literally, everything on my social was about my crush when it got to obsessive levels. Yep, that was me.
Trailed him from work to the grocery store to create ‘random’ meetings. Now we’re married and I’m still bossy.
Suggested hangman in class just to figure out what he liked, then casually dropped it in conversations. Sneaky tactics!
After we started dating, I looked him up on highway cameras when he was visiting his parents three hours away. FBI? Nope, just hopelessly in love.
Got involved in his mom’s religious activities to befriend her and eventually got introduced to him. Dated for two months. Score!
Guy said he loved pigtails, so I made mine seriously lopsided and awful. All for crush’s approval!
Saw a German guy moving to Dallas and learned German on Duolingo, hoping for a reply. Nope, nada.
Bought three boxes of Hershey’s to sell to him at his place—for a 'good cause.' Girlfriend answered the door surprise!
Took pictures of him, printed them, wrote thoughts, kissed the pages, and circled stars. Past me was something else.
Pretended my Snap got hacked, deleted it, and made a new account just so I’d show up as a quick add friend—not desperate, right?
Made a male profile, befriended him, and slowly convinced him love wasn’t so bad. Smooth operator!
Discovered the Pavlovian method and gave him his favorite candy every time I saw him. Stopped when it started working—I felt too guilty!
Tracked down his building by spotting a white wall in pictures. He’s married now, so mission accomplished?
Asked him about his childhood, figured out what he might be missing, and used that to get closer. Relationship goals?
Found his baby photo, made it my phone background, and told everyone "that’s what my future kid will look like." Bold move.
Wrote and gave a long love letter during class, even after getting rejected multiple times. That’s some serious heart.
Memorized his university ID, peeked at his uni app, and signed up for the same school. Matching goals!
Told him to see a therapist and booked him appointments with a friend who wasn’t actually a therapist. Keeping it interesting.
Did the triangle method four times while chatting with him; he was like, “I know what you’re up to.” Nice try!
At my coffee job, I'd write down names from credit cards and stalk people online later. He was on my list, obviously.
Made myself MIA for 1-2 days, then popped back so he’d chase me. Rinse and repeat until he’s hooked.
Made cookies and, upon a friend's advice, spat in them to make him fall for me. Two years later and still together. Weird but true.
