People Share What It’s Like to Actually Get With Your Crush

What’s it like when you actually crush it with your crush?

That’s what Reddit user ExtraCirpyTater wanted too know, and so do most of us:

What is it like to successfully get with your crush? from AskReddit

So what’s it like, this mythic experience? Let’s find out from those who have been there.

1. “Changes a lot.”

In 4 words: Not how you Imagine.

Look, the magic of crushes lays on the image you have of them (doesn’t matter if you are friends or not) cause even if you are, relationship changes a lot when you actually get together.

But it also feels pretty f*cking awesome the first moments cause, I mean, you got your crush!!

– phxnticsanders

2. “Somewhat false.”

Bittersweet.

Because you find out how the image of then you built up is somewhat false.

– Gopnik_Luigi

3. “Wanting feels better than having.”

If it’s someone you also view as a bestie, you might be pretty lucky.

Otherwise, sometimes wanting feels better than having.

– dynamicDiscovery

4. “Amazing.”

It’s d*mn amazing as long as you remember they have flaws just like you do.

If you made a perfect image of them it’s about to crumble and you’re gonna be disappointed.

– LittleTomori

5. “Until…”

Amazing, until he breaks up with you months later out of the blue, and because you’ve invested so much emotional energy into this relationship, you fall into a deep depression that you can’t get out of until you’ve physically moved away two years later

– jolygoestoschool

6. “So far it’s been great.”

I married mine 14 years later.

In high school I always thought he was sooo hot and sweet (and apparently he was attracted to me too) but I didn’t think I stood a chance so I never spoke up.

We drifted apart after graduation but after a really bad break up 14 years later, drunk me thought it’d be a good idea to get back in touch with him.

I still can’t believe we’re married (3 years now!). I still look at him and think “F*ck he’s hot.” We are basically the same person so he’s really easy to get along with but I’m glad we didn’t date in high school because I was really stupid and insecure and I would have f*cked it all up.

There were definitely moments where I became a high school girl again saying “OMMGG!” when I’d tell my friends about us dating, getting engaged, etc.

So far it’s been great but I got lucky my crush was actually a good person and not a handsome *sshole.

– MacNPickles

7. “It’s like my brain knew!”

Moved to college and the next morning I had to go to a required group-orientation/tour with people in my department. I happen to stand next to this cute girl who I decide to say hi to and we chat for the next 20 min. She was the first person I met on campus I hadn’t met in my residence hall. We say bye and I don’t see her for the rest of the day.

Somehow, I instantly knew I liked her and wanted to be more than friends, even though I only met her once. However, it turned out she had a boyfriend who went to school nearby. We ended up being classmates every semester and going into the same major.

After 3 years of school, some drama and way too many coincidences for our relationship to be considered normal, we got together and discovered how crazy compatible we were.

It’s honestly like my brain knew the whole time!

– EggsAisle27

8. “Lucky.”

Well, not really me but my brother, lucky man.

He had a crush on a girl that had an old crush on him too, so it was only natural they’d get together.

Well, this girl is like a younger sister I’ve never had, and even though she’s my brother’s girlfriend now, we spend more time in sleepovers and talking about him than he does with her. (I’m a girl) Basically, she’s my bff now.

– Aaruni_2008

9. “It certainly worked for me.”

I had a huge crush on a guy in my friends group who was married.

We became very good friends but always appropriate because he was married. He confessed he was unhappy in his marriage. I suggested they go to therapy because he would regret it if he didn’t give his marriage every chance.

He told his wife he wanted to go to counseling. She said she didn’t care that much and they should probably just break up and moved out.

The next week I swooped in and told him how I felt. Terrible idea. Rebound, all that.

We’ve been married 11 years now.

I’d never tell someone to confess their love to a friend going through a divorce but it certainly worked for me.

– WaffleFoxes

10. “I dodged a bullet.”

I crushed on a man for 3 years. This man was my manager.

Eventually, he moved to a different department and he and his long-term girlfriend broke up. We began dating. Holy crap… BEST FEELING EVER. I was head over heels for him and it felt like I was constantly on cloud 9, especially when he introduced me to his daughter and family. I felt like… life could not get any better. The man I was pining for, for so many years finally wanted me too, plus I was persistent and that is what drew him to me. It felt so good to do all the things I wanted to do with him, like kissing and being intimate… going for long drives and cuddling.

BUT, yes, as someone mentioned below, it can be bittersweet too. The image you have built up is false and you find out about other things about them that are… major red flags. Sadly, we rushed into living together, and we fell apart so quickly. He brought out the worst in me and took advantage of me – I thought because he loved me and treated me nicely that we would last while he treated other people really badly. Eventually, I became someone he could treat badly, and this was all within one month of moving in together, I knew by the second weekend I had made a mistake.

It hurts if there is incompatibility, but can be bliss if you are both compatible. Sometimes it’s not worth it to get your crush. Now not only have I lost someone who was my friend, but I also lost my love. But he constantly brings me down and I feel like sh*t every time we speak so I guess I dodged a bullet.

– Whisky-Baby15

11. “Sweet victory.”

Sweet Victory

…she was different (and more fun and passionate) than what I perceived her to be. I wasn’t expecting her to be it for me… didn’t even consider it. We both still shake our heads wondering why the hell we were never together sooner. And why we wasted time on loser relationships lol Yet maybe it wasn’t the right time for us earlier. I dunno

My approach:

I figured a lot of guys were hitting on her. I didn’t. I just got to know her better over messaging (we used to work together 5 years ago but she moved away). Finally we met for drinks and sparks flew. Then I came to visit her and I never left and she asked me to move in with her.

– blue1k

12. “The worst.”

I had a huge crush on this guy – we ended up hooking up – and he was the WORST kisser.

I didn’t even think being “bad at kissing” was really a thing because it’s not rocket science really.

But it was the worst.

– Pleasant-Flamingo344

13. “Too married.”

I fell in love with someone who was married … Too fast, too much, too, well … married.

But things changed, life moved on and now we’re two weeks away from celebrating our 15th anniversary.

I definitely had them built up in my mind, we have certainly been through ups and downs, but I know how lucky I am every d*mn day to have found them.

Sometimes it’s so much more than you even dreamed it could be.

– the_0zz

14. “Feelings evaporated.”

I crushed on a gorgeous South African blonde for a few months.

We made out and it was great.

Then I got to know the person better and turns out, my crush was not very intelligent.

Feelings evaporated like that *snap.

– whynotaskwhynotask

15. “It’s like…”

Its like putting the USB in perfectly the first time

– AmbitiousJellyTube

Maybe it’s because I’m just not a hopeless romantic, but I seriously doubt anything can feel as good as that last one.

Read About Some of the Greatest Wedding Faux Pas Ever Witnessed

The older you get, the more weddings you’re gonna go to.

Most are tame, and nothing out of the ordinary happens.

However, when emotions are high and booze is in abundance, there is bound to be some chaos.

What is the greatest wedding faux pas you’ve ever witnessed? from AskWomen

In case you haven’t been lucky enough to witness wedding disaster, AskReddit (or in this case, it’s offshoot AskWomen) is the perfect place to read up on stories that will make you thankful you are still single.

1. We Are Gathered Here To Say Our Goodbyes

“I was officiating the second wedding of my friend’s parents and when it came time for them to read their vows the groom, thinking he was funny, started reading from the obituaries he had clipped from the paper.

The bride was not pleased and it got real awkward for a second.”

– ladyintheatre

2. Drama With The Groom’s Mama

“Recently I went to a wedding of a childhood friend; we aren’t that close anymore but we’re on good terms. She’s Chinese American, married a white guy from New Orleans. Others in the bride’s party mentioned to me that it seems like there’s a bit of drama with the groom’s mom….and that they been getting the impression that this is the first time the groom’s parents have really interacted with Asians….and I heard the groom’s mom tried talking him out of this marriage.

I’ve known the couple for a few years and they are great together and really match. He defended his bride all the way to the mom.

Faux Pas: the groom’s mom and her family talking loudly, at the wedding/reception, about how the marriage isn’t going to last. Them taking bets about how long they think they will be together before the ‘inevitable’ divorce.”

– finalDraft_v012

3. A Classy Event

“Bride was sh*t faced and climbed under the head table and proceeded to suck her new hubbies d*ck. Later that night she passed out in between the elevator and lobby…her t*ts had popped completely out of her vomit covered dress.

At the end of the night the groom had to open envelopes from wedding gifts to scrape together the money to pay the limo driver.

My date and I went up to his grooms men’s hotel room where we saw the groom and his friends shooting heroin while his wife lay naked on the bed completely out cold.

It was quite an event.”

– Prisoner-655321

4. LOOK AT ME!!

“Drunk girl grabbed the microphone from the bride and slurred a teary, broken speech to the awestruck guests. 300 person wedding. Expensive, classy affair

The words of the speech were about how great the bride was but the purpose of the speech was to say “LOOK AT ME!”.

Other things this woman has done at weddings: dressed inappropriately (ladies, there is nothing morally wrong with you dressing how you like but at a wedding please try to consider the likelihood of nip slips/cooter flashing when at a classy affair) and more or less lap danced with the groom, is a repeat offender for nip slips, tried to drive home drunk, passed out in the bathroom, started fights, and stolen dates.

She is getting married soon.

I briefly entertained the notion of showing up at her wedding and doing all the things she did to others. The woman is a walking faux pas.”

– [User Deleted]

5. So Three Priests Walk Into A Bar…

“Priest was hand picked by the couple because the bride worked with him at the Archdiocese.

He is an hour late, and keeps getting the couple’s names wrong.

He is walking with braces and crutches, and he keeps making handicapped jokes.

Good times.”

– [User Deleted]

6. Run Away Sister

“The last wedding I photographed, the sister just got incredibly drunk. I felt really bad because it honestly seemed like she had a severe drinking problem because she was absolutely off her rocker in the way someone on crack would be. She was shoeless, screaming, barfing, and spitting at people and bawling outside the reception hall where my work partner and I were taking our dinner break at the time.

This was maybe one hour after the ceremony had ended, and there was ZERO liquor allowed at that particular venue.

Eventually she ended up in the gravel parking lot, still screaming and crying. She lost her balance several times and fell face first into the gravel twice.

Last I saw her, she was sitting up against the car surrounded by 3 or 4 people and just crying before they loaded her into the back seat to pass out.

Two hours later my partner and I came out for a smoke break and overheard that she had escaped and people were looking for her…”

– [User Deleted]

7. Hot Mama

“At my sister’s wedding reception, her new MIL got pretty wasted. She was complaining about the way her wrap skirt was fitting, so she opened it up completely at the edge of the dance floor and flashed my aunt.

When she went outside to smoke she started chatting up some random 20 yr olds who were also out there smoking and invited them into the reception to join her at the open bar.

Those guys then started trying to grind on the 12-14 yr old girls that were dancing at the reception and had to be strong armed to leave.”

– MadtownMaven

8. Racism Is Alive And Well

“The father of the bride started his toast with, ‘When I heard my daughter was engaged to a negro I said to myself, Oh no!’ He then proceeded to list every black stereotype he was afraid his new son in law would have.

He ended the toast with, ‘But Son in Law proved me wrong. Son in Law taught me that some negroes are okay.’ Then there was a lot of kissing and clapping from the Bride and her family. It was sooooo f*cking awful. The Groom’s family was mostly silent, except for the father of the groom who was angrily mumbling ‘Negro?!’ for the rest of the night.”

– Moxiecontin

9. NASCAR or Die

“The mother of the bride is, apparently, a huge Nascar fan. She made sure to let the bride and groom know at the rehearsal dinner that she would have to leave the reception early so she could watch the race.

Sure as sh*t, she left the reception hall mid-way through the meal. Pretty surprising stuff, because I’ve known the bride since grade school and she’s always been a pretty classy girl.”

– meaty87

10. Let’s Make This Legal!

“I don’t know if it’s considered a faux-pas, but I was at a wedding once where they did the whole signing the marriage license in front of everybody thing at the end of the ceremony.

The bride and one of the witnesses ended up signing the marriage license in the wrong place, so that the groom was briefly ‘married’ to the maid of honor, the bride’s best friend, until they could correct the mistake at the reception.

They played it off as a funny accident but some of the bride’s older family members seemed pretty upset!”

– paranoid_paratroopa

11. Don’t Do That

“My mother got completely trashed and showed up at the door of our honeymoon suite wearing nothing but a bathmat.

She then climbed into our bed and threw up in our garbage can.

Don’t do that.”

– sexyarmadillo

12. Makeshift Dildos

“In 7th grade, I went to my old 4th grade teacher’s wedding. The maid of honor got plastered and proceeded to give a very…inappropriate speech.

It was a while ago, so I don’t remember all the details, but one of the incidents recounted in the speech was my ex-teacher using a golf club to imitate a dong.”

– [User Deleted]

13. Who Says You Can Only Wear Your Wedding Dress Once?

“The groom’s cousin had got married at the start of wedding season, then had her strapless off-white wedding dress shortened to knee length.

She wore it at several weddings that summer, including at least two at which the bride was also wearing a strapless off-white gown. ”

– plasticcastle

I’ve been to my share of awkward weddings, but these really take the cake.

Memes That Are Pretty Much High Art

It’s been quite some time since I’ve been to a modern art museum, and sometimes I wonder just how modern the art has gotten.

I mean, they keep that stuff updated right? Is there a meme wing in any of those things yet? Are rich philanthropists throwing parties to have a hall of Spongebob reactions names after them?

If not, they should be. Because memes are the greatest art of a generation.

Here are twelve random pieces to prove it.

12. Too toasty

I’m going to go cry about something unrelated now, if you don’t mind.

Reasons Why People Still Hold Onto the Label of “Virgin”

When you think about it, what does virginity really mean, and why do we make such a huge deal out of it?

On the most basic level it’s a term to demarcate the time before you first had sex and after, but sex is a pretty normal part of life for most people. We don’t have a glossary of terms and labels for people who have or have not yet done other ordinary things, like ride a bike or swim in a pool or watch Die Hard.

Virginity is different though, at least in our heads, which is why some people would really rather hold onto the label.

Memes That Are Practically a Religious Experience

It’s been a little while since I’ve read the Bible, but if I remember correctly – and I don’t – there’s definitely maybe possibly something in there about memes.

Again, I might be getting stories mixed up but I could swear that at one point Jesus is like, in a group chat, and there’s only two memes that keep getting shared, but then he miraculously multiplies them into thousands of new memes for the disciples to feast on? And then Judas adds a bunch of watermarks?

Maybe that’s blasphemy, but you gotta understand, great memes like these are very nearly a religion to me.

Family Traditions That Will Make You Say…Huh?

Do you think your family is weird?

These AskReddit users dished on their weirdest family traditions and boy…

What are your WTF family traditions? from AskReddit

It’s nice to know there are families out there who are crazier than mine!

1. Let’s Get Ready To Rumble!

“The aunts fight. I mean like literally fight. They will get wasted and just get louder and louder and then one will shout something along the lines of, “You want to back that up?” and then they will go outside and fight.

We all watch and cheer for our favorite aunt to win and sometimes we will even video tape the fight so that we can watch it later and laugh about it. It is pretty normal.”

– Stregano

2. Turtle Power

“Every year on Christmas before we could open anything my dad used to make us do the Ninja Turtles Dance.

He would take lead and my sister and I would have to do it behind him while my mom recorded it. Thinking back I find it hilarious.”

– VSavrek

3. Sacred Cow

“My mother has always put a cow puppet on top of the Christmas tree instead of an angel.”

– the_humble_saiyajin

4. The Last Fry

“It’s more between my brother and I than our whole family.

Whenever we’d eat at a fast food place we would play “The last fry”, and it was just that, the one that ate the last fry won.

Sometimes we’d hide it for hours then eat it and say “MMMM IT TASTE SOOOO GOOD WHEN ITS THE LAAAAAST FRY!!!”

One time I put my fry in my backpack and found it a couple weeks later, totally won that time.”

– Totesmcgotes702

5. Brain Freeze

“When I was a kid, the aunts and uncles would get all the kids a gallon of their favorite ice cream on the 4th of July. They would sit us down at a table and give us all our ice cream at the same time.

Here’s the fun part. The first kid to tackle the entire gallon of ice cream got $5. This always lead to all of us kids eating ice cream very quickly, and thus getting brain freeze (ice cream headache).

Within minutes there are a half dozen children roaming the backyard clutching at their sinuses in pain while adults laugh at them. I’m so glad I finally caught on.”

– LordofMylar

6. Slap Dat Turkey

“Whenever we make a turkey or goose for Thanksgiving and Christmas, we have to slap it. I don’t know why.

The slapping takes place when the turkey is in the roasting pan, you just slap it with moderate force, about the force you would use to slap a fly or mosquito on your leg.

Whenever I asked my Grandmom, she would sing “it’s tradition!” and never answer the question beyond that.”

– shaven_craven

7. The Potato

“Whenever anyone of us has to take an exam, they take a single uncooked potato with them.

This has been tradition ever since my Grampa found one in his pocket after acing his driving test.

We’re not a particularly superstitious family otherwise, but The Potato has proven itself indispensable.”

– schnitzli

8. Oh, He Died

“My sister accidentally started a tradition when she was a kid. She wandered into my parent’s room one evening after watching TV and asked them, “Who is John Belushi?” I think she was 8 or 9 at the time. My parents, who were big fans, told her who he was and then asked her why she wanted to know. Her response was “oh, he died” and she wandered out of their room.

She did the same thing about a week later with another celebrity and my parents, having forgotten about how she asked about John Belushi responded the same way, explaining who the celebrity was and then asking why and got the same response from my sister “oh, he died”.

Now whenever there is a celebrity death, everyone in my family and several family friends rush to call/text someone else in the family so they can be the first person to report it and the call/text always starts with “Who is ___?!” and usually the other person responds with “oh no, how did they die?!” The person who manages to tell someone else first usually is referred to as “winning” that round.

We’re a little morbid.”

– carpecarp1

9. Stealin With Grandma

“My grandma used to take us “junkin”.

As an adult I realized what we were doing is stealing from the Salvation Army.”

– Daimoth

10. Personal Space Heaters

“Hound stealin’.

It’s close to sacrilege in our family, but that doesn’t stop us. Our dogs (two whippets and a Treeing Walker coon hound) sleep in our beds with us, and on cold winter nights we’ll sometimes sneak into each other’s rooms and steal a dog out from under the covers and carry them to our own beds.

By sometimes I mean every single night.”

– JesusSwallows

11. Twas The Night Before Christmas

“You can open one present on Christmas Eve, but its chosen by your siblings.

Leading to lots of under the table negotiations, and the eventual selection of the smallest or least interesting looking present.

If you were really p*ssed off, you chose a card to be opened. Lots of fights were had.”

– [User Deleted]

12. 6 Out Of 10

“Not my family, but my ex-girlfriend who is Ukrainian (this fact is important to the story) has really weird family traditions.

When she was in elementary school her dad used to wake her and her brother up 2 hours before school everyday. Then he would put on a cassette tape of Ukranian folk songs and they would take turns singing. When one of them finished a song he would hold up a card with a number between 1 and 10 written on it to rate their performance. Still cracks me up when I think about it.

Her family did a lot of weird things.”

– I_BLAME_YOUR_MOTHER

13. SHOTS!

“My great grandma used to do body shots off of babies.

Whenever a family member would come over with their baby, my great grandma would check to see if the soft spot on their head had closed up. If it hadn’t, she’d put tequila on the soft spot and suck it off of our heads.

She did it apparently to close the hole faster, because evil spirits come in from that hole and she believed that it took them out.

Some of my aunts still do this.”

14. Run Away Cake

“On Easter we used to eat a bunny cake with only one ear, because my Uncle ran away once as a little kid, and he took the ear with him.

He came back a few hours later when everyone was looking for him having already eaten the ear.”

15. Alice’s Restaurant

“Every year, our Thanksgiving consists of all the neighborhood strays, usually around 25 people. The food is glorious and wine is plentiful.

When everyone is seated for dinner, my dad does a toast and then turns on the song Alice’s Restaurant. Our entire family and regular guests sing the song as it’s being played.

The newcomers are usually a little mortified and stunned that

A) 20 people are singing the same song around the dinner table.

B) we know ALL the words

C) the song is so damn long.

I’ve grown to love this tradition.”

16. The Wolf Pack

“My brother-in-law thought the “three wolf moon” shirts were hilarious so he bought one. My husband also thought it was funny so he bought one with more wolves on it (to up the ante). My sister and I then bought a wolf shirt for my dad so he could fit in with the guys.

They wear these shirts in public when they are all together and call themselves the “wolf pack.” My parents even named their boat “three wolf moon.”

My sister and I are both due to have little boys this winter. We are on the hunt for wolf onsies…”
