Around... 5 people irl. Only one of those got me though.

carambola · 07-09-2012, 08:37 AM

To my knowledge, two (one of those online). Possibly another in middle school I didn't know about. A guy who'd sat near me in Spanish class told my mom (who taught a class he took later) that one of the two other eighth graders in that class had obviously had a crush on me.

I'll never know. Girls never volunteer that information and I'm pretty oblivious to their subtle hints.

shelbster18 · 07-09-2012, 07:53 PM

Zero.

Evo · 07-09-2012, 08:23 PM

Zero

Pkfast · 07-09-2012, 09:42 PM

One girl liked me back in community college. But I didn't felt the same way, she wasn't physically attractive to me.

VC132 · 07-09-2012, 09:45 PM

i wish i knew. my upbringing didn't really allow for much social contact, so maybe only a handful.

vicente · 07-10-2012, 05:42 AM

One online when I was 13, possibly three in real life, when I was 20, 23, and 25.

Milco · 07-10-2012, 08:08 AM

0 in real life

CrimsonTrigger · 07-10-2012, 08:38 AM

I doubt anybody ever liked me.

Melinda · 07-10-2012, 09:20 AM

I know of at least two, my ex and my current partner. I had a stalker in jr high - not sure if that counts. And I was recently told that a guy I was friends with freshman year really liked and wanted to ask me out. He never gave me any indication, but then I am also not good at reading hints.

Like four people. Two of them was when I was in 7th grade and the other one was a girl. She was mentally insane anyway and the other guy, well he isn't my type.

Oh, I guess three that I know of. Forgot about the strange guy with the crush on me in my community college French classes when I was 15-16.

These were all more than ten years ago.

Revenwyn · 07-16-2012, 03:22 PM

Three. The first I could have married. But his parents moved him away and told me he had died in a car accident. I had loved him for over six years. It took me a year to get into a sort of relationship, in which the guy ended up being polyamorous and at that time I wasn't open to that sort of thing. That was a summer relationship. I was also the skinny girl in the group (and I'm a US 16-18, most of his girlfriends were in the 26+ size range.) The third is my husband, but that's not going well currently. I'm in contact with #1 again. I only found out he was still alive AFTER I got married.

MavenMI6Agent009 · 07-16-2012, 03:23 PM

??? I wish I knew..Maybe 1 person maybe not..

illmatic1 · 07-16-2012, 03:34 PM

Me too. Hooray for obliviousness!

kilgoretrout · 07-16-2012, 07:58 PM

As far as I know, just one. Too bad I didn't feel the same.

Jollygoggles · 07-16-2012, 08:07 PM

Two.
Pro tip: Make them so mad at you that they hate you. Much easier on them and you.
