Tweet The trip up had been a little frustrating. Nerves were wracked while we prepared. The prom itself was lovely. The first night ended in a missed opportunity. The second day found that opportunity realized as I had my first real kiss. The weekend, as a whole, was fantastic. At the time, it was the… Continue reading Hump Day Crush: The Prom (Part V)

Hump Day Crush: The Prom (Part IV)
Tweet June 5th of 1992 was by far one of the most insanely adventurous and potential-filled days of my life up to that point. I was hundreds of miles from home on a weekend-long double date that kicked off with a prom. They girl had asked me and things were going wonderfully. The night even… Continue reading Hump Day Crush: The Prom (Part IV)
Hump Day Crush: The Prom (Part III)
Tweet (Telling this story here seems to invite long-ish pauses. That’s a wee bit unfortunate, since it’s really not that long of a story.

OK, maybe it didn’t end that badly. Sometimes it’s just circumstances or distance that get in the way. But it ended. And… Continue reading Hump Day Crush: The One That Got Away
Hump Day Crush: Why Not Just Date?
Tweet Many people out there get into the habit of dating in high school. After all, that’s when we first have the time and inclination to really interact with the opposite sex to any extent. That’s when all those hormones get pumping and we start to feel all sorts of tingly in all sorts of… Continue reading Hump Day Crush: Why Not Just Date?
Hump Day Crush: On the Receiving End
Tweet It’s easy to tell when you have a crush on someone, even if it isn’t easy to admit it. What’s nowhere near as obvious is when someone has a crush on you. We’re all very good at being distracted by our own crushes (or just totally oblivious, like I usually am) to notice when… Continue reading Hump Day Crush: On the Receiving End
