Cringe

I had a crush on a camp counselor when I was like 7. He was at least 16. Our group went to the roller skating rink one day and I thought I was good enough on skates to enter a race. Lol nope. Race started and I was left in the dust. I just rolled myself off the floor and hoped no one noticed. I guess some of the other counselors noticed my crushing, and them being teen boys themselves had fun with that. Told me that he liked me too and wanted to meet behind the busses that night. I was like wtf forreal?! Good thing I lived nowhere near this camp and couldn't exactly sneak out and actually get to these busses in the middle of the night, but thinking back it freaks me out that these guys would try to lure a kid out of their house at night. Anyways it didn't work. I saw the guy at the mall food court a few years later. Haven't seen him since, but still remember his name. Oh well.6

I have a few cringe worthy moments/memories. I'll start with my earliest.
My friends and I decided to flash the boys who lived next door to her.
2 of those boys became my brothers best friends and over 20 years later I still see them on occasion.
I had forgotten about it until recently.3 -

When I was 17, I was at a pool party with a guy I was really crushing on. I decided it was going to be so impressive to dive into the pool and showcase how great of a swimmer I was? I don't know. In any case, I dove in, hit the bottom like a rock with my chin. When I came up for air there was no skin left on my chin and I'm bleeding all into the water like a monster. People were freaking out because the water was making it look like there was so much more blood than there really was. Pretty much killed the party and humiliated myself at the same time. Not to mention the fact that there was no way to hide it so I had to relive it every time someone asked about my chin while it took its sweet time healing. I did marry him a few years later so I guess it worked. I still cringe when I think back on it.
What's your story?
No, actually. Turns out he had an affinity for penis sooooo...
.... so that's a deal breaker for you, huh?2 -
I won't name any one specific thing, but when I was younger I was incredibly awkward around girls. I can't count the times my mouth formed words that I listened to in horror, or how I tripped over my feet, or walked into a vending machine. .1

When I was 17, I moved in with my best friend and her mom to help out, and we lived right across from our community pool. One night my crush came over and wanted to jump the gate to the pool.. The gate had two large stone columns on each side, and was iron with spike looking things on the top (I guess for looks). The iron fence, including gate, was about a good 10 ft high maybe 12. I didn't think I could climb it, so he went first. He made it look so easy, so I copied what he did. The problem was not getting on top of the stone columns, it was getting down. Mind you, I am not wearing a bathing suite, I am in a loose shirt, really baggy Kickwear pants (material was similar to wind-pants). So, when I was on top of the column, I freaked out trying to figure out how to get down, because he jumped and I was afraid to.. He decided he was going to catch me, and told me to jump.. Umm I jumped and he didn't have to catch me.. Because my big *kitten* pants hooked around the top of the spikey thing, and caused me to fall/trip. Thankfully the gate was that high, because my head would have went straight in the cement. It happened so fast. I am literally hanging upside down, shirt over head, paints hooked on the top of the gate, and I am slowly slipping out of them.. Until finally my whole body is on the ground, and pants still hanging from the top of gate. If that wasn't enough, a few of friends were still up, and was outside and saw the whole thing.6

Honestly, I think the warning signs were always there I just chose to ignore them.
I think we've all been there friend.1 -

Must have been a bad VHS tape you had.1 -

Oh god, this thread brings back memories of "the incident" in 7th grade. Yeah, I'm out. There's not enough internet to hold all of that cringe or the aftermath...0

Is it even more cringy to admit that I watched this show from my own volition, and loved it ? Lorelai and Rory are so great
And what if I say that I watched it more than a couple of times from start to finish ? 0
