^This. "Used to" is just a safety phrase that gives them a way to back out if you're not into it.
What? Is this true?
I fear you've just doubled the amount of times I missed the hint :(
hey stupid, my spouse and family would never allow me to accept the crush.
why not? they can help with chores and children
was going more for poly. I'll never understand monogamy.
you fool THEY ARE STILL FLIRTING WITH YOU
Casually Explained makes that joke lol
"You know, back in high school I had the biggest crush on you"
"Why didnt you tell me?!"
"Well.... I am telling you now ...."
"Ahh but I needed to know thennn"

You just sent that thing into a fucking coma
This has happened to me. The person telling me was about to get married and I was living in a different town, far away. I was just visiting and happened to cross paths with them. To be fair, it hurt a bit, because I asked them out several times and they always rejected me. I knew they rejected me because being an undiagnosed autistic, I was "the weirdo" of the class and nobody wants to date the weirdo. My reaction to them at the moment of telling me was telling them: So what do I do with that now? And they didn't know what to tell me. I can tell my reply created an uncomfortable silence. I haven't seen them ever since, even though I visited my hometown several times and it's not that big of a place.
I'm glad you called them out on it because that's an insane thing to say to someone when you're about to get married.
In hindsight, I know I dodged a bullet, because marrying them would have meant remaining in a place that, for me, was a shithole that was killing me. So it was for the best if they rejected me.
Still, it's a pretty shitty thing to say to someone that had a crush on you and told you more than once.
Free beer yesterday
"oh shit nice. what happened?"
"Glad that never got acted upon. Pssh, I mean, could you even imagine? Hahahaha!"
Smiles, sets down drink, looks up, sheepish stare.
You're supposed to have one more go for the history books
Me overhearing the conversation: “Someone mention some soda?”
Okay, but what did the guy in the photo do to make himself relevant?
Am I the only one that took this as pretext to some guilt trip or something?
Yes
