Valentine's Day: I went to the baker and had them make the classic cupcakes to resemble the ones in Alice In Wonderland ("Pick Me", "Eat Me", etc.). Cut out a bunch of cartoon cutouts of characters from the film to make valentines for her and her five year old daughter. Arranged them around a bouquet of painted roses (there is an actual streaked variety) mixed in with a few pure white and pure red ones. Everything was set up so she would find it all as a surprise as soon as she got home.
I travel to his hometown 500km away from my home a roadtrip of 12hours just to be with him for 48h and go back...
I was 26 years old (yet so immature)
Im currently in bed (writing this comment) next to a small version of him on one side and with him on the other. So, yeah it worked
i will have to say to me that is the stupidest thing i ever done cause well he is my first love so.... never had a chance to do anything dumb before, also it was really crazy to travel that far on a bus such a long tiring af road trip (that i did several times that year) just to be with someone that wasnt even my boyfriend by that time (we were just friends with benefits) for such a little amount of time, and even tho it did payout in the end i wouldnt recommend it. ROFL
The things we do for love, but still being together is pretty incredible.
I once walked to the beach (~28 miles, took the entire night walking on a highway) when I was young just to hang out with a girl before they left their rental home for the week.
I was around 14-15 years old and in love with a dude 2 years older than me. We went to the same school, too. He was into the same kind of music as I was (punk & metal), rode a BMX and was a bit chubby (I like(d) 'em a little chubby).
Well, socially awkward me was the kind that just couldn't make it to talk face-to-face with people I really liked, thought were cool and wanted to be friends with.
So one evening I tried starting to chat with him on Facebook. It started out great until the same evening he asked if I liked him (it was SO obvious). I answered that I did. He was kinda drunk that evening and disappeared at one point. I started panicking... overthinking... spamming the chat emotionally. (Oof, right?). He started ignoring me on purpose. And I couldn't stop.
I tried making contact with him a couple days later, saying I was sorry for the emotional outbreak, etc. At one point he blocked me. And dumb me still didn't stop. (Oh my god...)
One day me and a couple of my girl friends were having a nice little walk after school. We went to a grocery store and spotted the soft drinks section. It was the time when Coca Cola had that campaign where they had peoples names on the bottles... (and no, I didn't go searching for his name). The whole row of Coca Cola bottles were facing with their names to the shelf wall instead for just one... and the one had his name on it. After some giggling and inability to decide, we bought it. The girls made a joke that I should go to the skatepark and give it to him.. (oh no no no noo, please, don't) but the joke was made in such a tone I didn't really understand if they were joking or not.
Here it comes... we went up to the skatepark and I saw him riding his BMX. At one point he felt thirsty and rode up to the alcohol store near the skatepark. My friends pushed me forwards jokingly... and I started running, calling his name out once for attention. He looked at me "what?". I reached the bottle out to him and said "take it, this is for you" and got a "wtf? No" in response. He went in the store and I melted into the ground out of embarassement. I blushed so hard I felt it in my cheekbones, and I started crying. (Not on the spot, I walked back to my friends in shame and they were surprised I actually went through with it).
Not the craziest thing I did to "impress" a potential lover, but it was a stupid thing I did in front of a potential lover.
On the day when she was about to confess to me, it was the perfect time (for her), because there weren't many people in my class during lunch break, she approached me casually and started things nice and easy, you know. So what was the stupid thing?
I was too busy having an intense team fight in League of Legends with my mates against my other friends from another class upstairs. So thanks to my half-assed responses to her attempt to drive the conversation from "Hey, what's up?" to "Will you go out with me?", she ended the convo with "I'll catch you later". I only knew her intentions when her friends told me about it later that day. That made me kinda felt like shit lol.
But it wasn't really my unlucky day, because I was dating someone else from a different school so 🤷♂. But she kept being flirty with me even after she knew that, though, I think it was mere playful teasing between friends. So I'm not sure if it "worked" or not.
I became super religious just to impress my first ever crush in college who was my neighbor as well. I used to go to the temple everyday just to stalk him. Took part in the rituals I never liked but guess what, after a while, I started doing them with all of my heart and soul. I even tried to impress his mother almost everyday by greeting her in the morning ( You do that by touching people's feet in India, sounds crazy, right?) and serving best sweets that were available (we do that in temples, as religious offerings). I used to be a person who didn't really care about god worship before all this.
It did not work because one day I saw the same guy talking to a different girl in the temple's premises. A girl who used to hate me for hitting on HER CRUSH (same guy). Later on I found out through my friends that the same girl informed that guy about my stalking and that is when I ended this stupid shit. I am an Atheist now!!! God didn't answer to my prayers. :P I was 19 years old at that time.
I was 26 or 27. We had been dating for maybe 2 weeks. She made this pork chop, rice and mushroom soups meal in a crock pot. She cooked it so long that it completely dried out. To salvage it she poured in a cup of water, which tourned the rice to mush. It was an awful mess of carboard dry meat and mushy flavorless rice.
She apologized for the meal and refused to eat it. I ate an entire plate then went up for seconds.
It worked because we are married, together 7 years and she still tells that story to people.
My grandparents were married for 50 years, at their 50th anniversary a friend of ours did a roast. Found out she made meatloaf every Thursday for like 30 years, he hated meatloaf. It wasn't until then that she found out.
Even funnier, he was a really good gardener. He could make anything grow, but he did have one plastic plant that she watered daily for I don't know how long but he refused to say anything.
Yeah the meatloaf story probably happens quite a bit in family households. Watering the plastic plant is hilarious, some of them do look quite real lolol
The craziest thing I have ever done to impress someone who I thought could be my lover, was act like myself! Hah because I am very out there, so to act like myself right away is what I feel to be CRAZY! But guess what, it always seems to work! And that way they know what they are getting into right away!
I was about 22 and there was this girl a year younger. I figured she was the sweetest thing since cane sugar.
I heard her say she liked English roadsters so I bought a car. A Jaguar XJ 120.
You damn betcha it worked skippy. I loved that car, and have had maybe a dozen roadsters over the years. The girl went on to marry a dentist-so both of us ended up happy.
I was once in love, I was about 17 years old, my girlfriend had moved to another city with her parents, and we were in touch by phone, I'm talking about 1999, after a few months of collecting money to go see her, I traveled from Guadalajara to Tijuana, more than 2000 km by bus, just to see that she had already adapted very well to the city, and was dating someone else, that broke my heart and I remember that I sang many times "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" I returned to my city, I have lived many things but I think I have never fallen in love again.
I fought with a guy. Like he was twice my size but still.
I was 17. We were in the same class and i used to sit behind her. I was eyeing and trying to impress her with the the usual hooligans for years then. Doing odd and awkward things to make her laugh. Like I even bought a guitar to show off (as if it ever worked) and practiced for two months. Was stuck at c minor and never made any progress. sigh!
So in comes this guy, like really buff for a teenager. It was a inter school sports event. He was randomly walking shirtless (just won the 100 meter sprint :-| and then decided to flex his pecks ) in front of her and winking repeatedly. I don't know what had gotten into me, like i went up to him and started pushing him back. He left hooked me so hard that my right jaw and my shoulder conjoined and formed one giant face. Like it became so inflamed. It took me almost a fortnight to recover from both the physical and mental trauma. again sigh! :-(
It didn't work sadly. I was hardcore friendzoned till college and after i moved to my campus, never saw her again.Intentionally. Didnt want to experience it all over again.
I held in my farts all night when I was 64 years old and it didn't work because a few snuck out while I was sleep and gave her the dutch oven effect so she was mad
Yes, your Mom sent me one for my Birthday :). Now that I'm all out of Mom jokes I hope she sends me another one this year so we can continue this hilarious banter.
Well, the date went really well. I knew she liked pizza so I took her to eat. We went to the Fun Park. We took pictures in a photo booth as cellphones weren't a thing yet here.
All those things I couldn't afford at the time 😂.
We ended up dating for about 8 months.
I was a pretty tame person growing up and in my early college years (later college years? not so tame). I got drunk and stole a street sign that was her name. Bitch still left me - thank god.
Well she was going to break bup with me unless I do the craziest thing in the world in the presence of a public. So I wrote "please don't break up with me" on a placard and knelt down in front of her
Я поставил 3 или 4 подножки на первом свидании, моя девушка 3 раза чуть не упала.
Мне было около 20 лет.
Сложно сказать... 25 апреля будет 5 лет как мы женаты, и есть сын - 3,8 года.
I asked her to come and smoke some cigareeets that I 'procured' off my mum (while she was asleep).
How old were you?
I was only 12 at the time, gimme a break.
Did it work?
Oh yes, it definitely worked - I lost my virginity, after the cigarette! (yeah, I know, you normally wait 'til afterwards for the smoke, but I've always been a little unconventional).
My first time -and with an older woman too. She was nearly 15!
REEEE-SULT!
oww what crazy friends we had between us !! but the craziest thing you can do to impress someone is to act like yourself. Because the partner who knows that he wants to be affected will want action. different things. just be yourself and surprise him. Don't give what you want. ow so crazy :) maybe you can lose it completely. it might be a terrible idea. and I'm 29 years old. I have never been crazy until now. my soul is a little .. sorry for my bad english.

This is a winner, tell me it worked a treat?!
Bought me a couple weeks of brownie points.

Dude imagine all that travel and not being together? he knew what was good for him lol
Oh, man.. this must be the cringiest of them all.

Wow, dude really sounds like the douchebag straight out of some teenage drama shows or something.
Thats what it was like XDXD. my whole school life.. like glee or high school musical.. without the songs of course..
I once went a whole 24hrs without telling him he was wrong.
That must have been tough!
Was it about something big?
I held in my farts all night when I was 64 years old and it didn't work because a few snuck out while I was sleep and gave her the dutch oven effect so she was mad
You should really be nicer to your mom.
lol
after I'm done with yours
I think I heard that one before.
what about "let's get off Moms because I just got off of yours" ?
Heard that even more.
Did you just get a Mom's joke book for your Birthday?
Yes, your Mom sent me one for my Birthday :). Now that I'm all out of Mom jokes I hope she sends me another one this year so we can continue this hilarious banter.
When I was 15-16 I sold some of my school books(which I actually need) so that I could take her on a nice date.
Awws, how did it go?
Well, the date went really well. I knew she liked pizza so I took her to eat. We went to the Fun Park. We took pictures in a photo booth as cellphones weren't a thing yet here.
All those things I couldn't afford at the time 😂.
We ended up dating for about 8 months.
ARGH, that sounds bad.
I know, it didn't feel that way at the time.
Books are so god damn expensive. What did I spend, like around $400-500 on books this semester? It wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t for online keys.
and?
Yeah, it kind of worked. We dated for about 8 months.
What was the total cost of that?
Marry her.
You win this thread.
Haha, well, I was too lazy to travel long distances, do something rmantic or any of the other things mentioned in the thread. So marrying her will do.
I was a pretty tame person growing up and in my early college years (later college years? not so tame). I got drunk and stole a street sign that was her name. Bitch still left me - thank god.
Well she was going to break bup with me unless I do the craziest thing in the world in the presence of a public. So I wrote "please don't break up with me" on a placard and knelt down in front of her
What happened then?
She broke up with me anyway I was only 20
Youth is a time for learning.

I went to Amsterdam when my friend went for a college trip.
I think I was about 20
Nope, she is now married to my oldest friend
