Ok, what incredibly stupid things have you done in the name of love? What embarrassing childish things have you done after a fight with your love, or in order to catch the eye of someone you love?
When I was 17 I was madly in love with the most beautiful girl in the world. Let's call her M. She was short, was perfectly formed, had very dark hair and sparkling blue eyes. She was posh and played hockey.
I, on the other hand, was skinny, had a face like a pizza, long greasy curly hair down over my shoulders and I had (have) a nose you can park a bus in.
I was getting nowhere!
Eventually all my friends were sick of my moaning and complaining and me trying to write "M" anywhere I could, so they convinced me to go to her door and ask her on a date.
So, I built up all my courage, brushed the dandruff from my shoulders and stepped up to her door.
Her dad answered it. I nearly died. But, I managed to squeek out a: "Is M home?"
He smiled and he fetched his daughter. She came to the door with her two best friends beside her. Both of them were gorgeous as well and all three were at the same school I was at (albeit in a more advanced educational course).
Guess what I said?
They stood there smiling at me and the only thing that squeezed its way out of my mouth was: "Do you want to come out and play."
Well, to cut a long story short, she slammed the door on my face and everybody laughed at me for years to come.

There was a school reunion 3 or 4 years ago and I bumped into her again, alas I was pitifully drunk and the only thing I managed to ask her was if she was pregnant. She wasn't.
You know, somethings are just not meant to be!
Its not exactly a love story...... maybe lust......
I was 17 and on a tour to Barbados with my local sports club, after the game we of course went to the local bar then a late night club on the beach and consumed enough of the local rum to put a bull elephant in a coma. Much to my surprise I was still capable of picking up a young lady, even more to my surprise I was still capable of getting an erection. So the young lady made her way back to the hotel with me and we proceeded to get down to business......... so far so good......... the problem being I was so drunk I didn't realise all the camera flashes as my mates proceeded to take an endless amounts of X rated photos which they printed and posted up behind the bar in our local club for years to come.
Originally posted by elvendreamgirlBack in high school (where else?), I decided to let "the girl of my dreams" know about my feelings for her - by pretty much announcing it in front of the whole class! 😲 I also left enough poems (all self-composed!), flowers and soft, furry figurines in her desk to start a corner shop. Net result - she never spoke to me again (not more than a few sentences at a time anyway) and got married to some other bloke last year.
Well, it can be silly or foolish. Just anything that you do out the temporary(sometimes) insanity in which love infects you.

but she was still the most beautiful girl in the world.
I hear her voice when the birds wake me with their chorus, I feel her heart when the summer breeze kisses my skin, I see her beauty when the sun reflects off the water, I feel her softness when I lay naked under the moon.
I am often silly, I was born foolish
but I am in love
and happy
Well, I don't know if it's sweet or not, but I always used to give my girlfriend laughs by making up a rhyme in my greeting. *sigh* I'm gunna have to give examples (darn it!). It was goofy stuff like "What's the buzz, peach fuzz?", and "What's cookin', good lookin'?", and stupid stuff like that. lol It's really embarassing to think about now, but she always got a kick out of it so.... *shrug* 🙄

I tried to show off for a bf once by cooking a chinese dinner. I was using every pot in the house, including the wok. I thought I would really show off by frying dried noodles, but I only had a sauce pan. I filled it with oil and heated the oil, then had the guy come to see what would happen. The second the noodle hit the oil they expand aboput 5 times the normal size. I dropped them iin the sauce pan and they came straight out of the pan(looking like a stove pipe hat), long with all the oil. Everything caught fire, and he grabbed the pot and threw it out the back door. I was humiliated beyond all belief.😛

Prad, i am so curious to learn which paean of praise you played to your QUEEN of heart. Could you please reveal the secret what song it was that was supposed to make your wife so happy after so many years.
[/b] Just for the record, the name of the beautiful black spiritual Prad so sweetly played to me in front of our friends is "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen" ......

Years ago i was in a biology prac class at uni, along with a girl i had a crush on. i saw her looking contemplatively at a model of the human brain, and went over to talk to her. i put my hand on the model and said something stupid like "wonderful thing, the human brain'. or rather, i started to say it. what i didn't know, was the model came apart into the various lobes, and they were made of rubber. so of course it all fell apart and there were lobes bouncing around everywhere. She just sort of slunk away from the scene of embarrassment, as it attracted a lot of attention.
i've always thought things might have turned out differently if i'd been able to quote Woody Allen on the brain: "the brain is my second-favourite organ".
