Way back in 2006, I had a crush. Like any self-respecting high school senior, I knew that there was no other course of action than to express this crush in a semi-public way that would be embarrassing not only to myself, but also to my crush.
This girl was the second-best triple-jumper in the state, so right before the Maryland state high school track and field championships, I stole my best friend’s dartboard and pasted on a heavily-pixelated picture of Crush’s rival, the other contender for triple-jump state champion. I left it in her locker and waited for the outpouring of gratitude she was sure to shower me with upon receiving her gift.
But it never came. As it turns out, planting what looks like a slasher film prop in someone’s locker is not a cool way to show you’re into them.
While 2006 Julian went too crazy, plenty of guys have toed the line between “crazy in love” and “just plain crazy” to show a girl that they care. Here are some of their stories.
“My girlfriend has two roommates who also have boyfriends. I coordinated with the other boyfriends on a night we could all sleep over at their place to cook them breakfast in the morning as a surprise. It took us over a month to make that happen, but after a heavy night of all going out separately, we woke up at 6:30 to pick up groceries and cook breakfast. My girlfriend’s face when she woke up was very much worth the early wake up.” —Adrian D.

“My girlfriend had a really traumatic event happen while I was on vacation. When I got back in town, I took a day off of work and cleaned her apartment—like, deep clean, mopped, scrubbed the tub—and filled it with flowers.

“I really wanted to impress this girl, so I took her to the movies. But instead of buying two tickets like a rational human being, I bought out the whole theater so it was just her and myself. In the end, it didn't work out that well. The movie was The English Patient, which kind of killed the mood.” —Henry V.
