Having a crush can make you act irrationally and feel more emotional, and when you're full-blown crushing on someone it really messes with your head, causing us to say and do really dumb things.
This all too human reaction to the flood of emotions we feel when we come face-to-face with our crush is something we all feel, and yet we each have a different embarrassing tale to tell about the crazy stuff we said while crushing.
Redditor Gmb1t asked the lovers "What is the most cringeworthy thing you've ever said to your crush?" on AskReddit, and their responses remind me of a simpler time when I asked a girl out with a note.
I started the note by saying "hey howdy buckaroo!" and signed it "Billy Bonnie"(sic), because at the time I thought Young Guns was the absolute coolest movie. She was nice about it but understandably wasn't interested in dating a twelve-year-old outlaw.
