Crushes that make you cringe now!

Share your ex-crushes (celebrities or otherwise) and why the change of heart?

I’ll start, some dude, a family friend…yikes, man…now that I look back I’ll chalk this up to early tween senility or just underdeveloped frontal lobe, or plain old bad taste. In my defense though, there was a dearth of cute guys around. Luckily, families have drifted apart and I rarely get to hear about him but whenever I do, I have to cringe…shudders

Among celebrities, I tend to have great taste, so the only embarrassing crush is Ben Mulroney (only canadians would know him). It was painful to watch him hosting canadian idol. Now its just painful to watch him.

Three come to mind and I'm not going to mention who they are...but yes... they do make me cringe now. One of them was a celebrity whom I now don't care much for...I find him annoying at times. The other was a brief one...and I got over it cuz the guy later turned out ...just...weird. And the shamefully longest crush makes me cringe the most.....there was a time I didn't think I'd get past it....but the jerk-like actions put me off....they overwhelmed his more positive qualities...and he's now bhai-zoned.

OMG, Contrarian you’re Canadian! That’s a lovely little tidbit :slight_smile: And Ben has his daddy’s chin :nahi:

As for crushes :hmmm:

Three come to mind for me too!

The first was when I was in Kindergarten. His name was Michael and he was popular with all of the little girls. I remember asking him to marry me. Alas, his family moved and that was the end of that.

The second one was Grade 9 Art class. He was a senior in school and had to take the class to graduate. Yeah, my heart totally did the butterfly thing when he would come to class. He really was good-looking, but in hind-sight I realize it was pretty superficial of me since he wasn’t necessarily a sweet/nice guy.

The third one was one that I thought was crushing on me and initially it was flattering and I was sort of interested. Only later, it became skeezy on his part, you know when a guy looks at you and it’s just a yucky looking at you? Yeah, I wonder how I could have been flattered and not given him the death glare.

Re: Crushes that make you cringe now!

I have a few which I’m too cringey about. One was this guy I REALLLYYYY liked and I um…asked him out. Worst experience ever.

:teary2:

Sod this, I’ll just blog about it :frowning:

Re: Crushes that make you cringe now!

Hello fellow Canuck! :wave:

Oh yeah Ben’s got his dad’s humongous chin.

Re: Crushes that make you cringe now!

No no no, mention it here. I dont read blogs.

BTW any girl who approaches a guy is a hero in my eyes regardless of how it turned out!

Re: Crushes that make you cringe now!

It#s too embarassinggggggg!!!

Re: Crushes that make you cringe now!

There is just so much of slacking off I can do at work! :D

Re: Crushes that make you cringe now!

I’m a Canuck, but not of the Vancouver variety. I go ach-too to the hockey team :snooty:

crossing my fingers and praying Contrarian isn’t from BC

Re: Crushes that make you cringe now!

Our awesomeness can only be from Ontario. +1 to “ach-too” on the entire sport of hockey!

Re: Crushes that make you cringe now!

But what about our perrenial losing Maple Leafs - do you not bleed blue for them? I do :frowning: And work would be mid-town, downtown, east or west 'burbs?

:sid: Oh wait! Ontario is bigger than T.Dot. Oops! Never mind :hinna:

Re: Crushes that make you cringe now!

His name was Jessie. He was the badass type and of course I found that hot :bummer:. But like an month into my crush, he was arrested for some heroin investigation. uffff. Talk about TURN.OFF!!!

Re: Crushes that make you cringe now!

Girly, I said I am not into hockey of any kind.

Yep, from T.dot (the only liveable place in entire Canukistan…other than Van). And yes to “dongtong” as our fob Chinese friends say.

Re: Crushes that make you cringe now!

But what about all the cute, toothless hockey players? I walk by ACC and on occasion the hockey players are arriving for practice (during hockey season) and trust me, they look pretty darn fine with their dentures in :D - you are missing out!

Re: Crushes that make you cringe now!

They are the main reason why I opted out. Instead I feast my eyes in the "unreal" world of fashion.

Re: Crushes that make you cringe now!

omg…the president of the student council Dave something or other…total typical nerd complete with glasses et al…figures :rolleyes:

not much has changed except that I’ve never fallen back to the blonde hair/blue eyes thing.

he was in final year of high school and I was just starting out so lucky that there was no chance at all…did send him a valentine though…think it was the only one he received and I completely fell apart when he thanked me…still remember the spaghetti legs feeling…sheesh.

Re: Crushes that make you cringe now!
