Ah, the cringe-worthy nostalgia of past crushes! It’s one thing to reminisce about old flames, but it’s an entirely different level of embarrassment to revisit those youthful infatuations. So, brace yourself as I dive into my most ridiculous adolescent crushes. Let’s feel the love together!
-
Bobby
My first crush was on Bobby from H.R. Pufnstuf. Honestly, I can hardly recall the details of the show, but Bobby’s iconic bowl cut definitely left a mark. It turns out that those hairdos were all the rage back then! -
Dylan
Fast forward a few years, and I found myself head over heels for Dylan McKay from Beverly Hills, 90210. Seriously, he was the epitome of cool—he could act, he had that dreamy smile, and my heart raced every time he appeared on screen. I tried to feather my hair just like him, but failed miserably. My heart shattered when he eventually moved on in real life! -
Max
After my crush on Dylan fizzled, I discovered Battle of the Planets, where I became absolutely obsessed with Max, the brave leader of the team. I watched it in secret since no one at school seemed to share my enthusiasm. But guess what? I recently stumbled upon a whole community of fans online. If only the Internet had existed back in my middle school days! -
Johnny
I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention my crush on Johnny from The Outsiders. He was more than just a “greaser”—he was a sensitive soul. Plus, he was portrayed by the swoon-worthy C. Thomas Howell, which certainly didn’t hurt my feelings! -
Charlie, Billy, and Sam
Oh, these three characters from Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, and The Breakfast Club really took over my teenage dreams. Charlie, Billy, and Sam were the type of boys I wished would fall head over heels for me. Thanks a lot, John Hughes, for setting the bar impossibly high and for those romantic fantasies that never quite came true! -
Oliver
In college, I found myself captivated by Oliver from thirtysomething. I was completely unaware that the show was a polished version of adulthood. It took me years to understand what being an adult truly meant—and I’m still figuring it out! At least I don’t have as much angst as Oliver, so that’s a bonus. -
Agent Fox
Ah, the 90s—what a time! I was juggling grad school and bad fashion choices while harboring a major crush on FBI Agent Fox from The X-Files. He was the whole package: smart, funny, and deeply committed to uncovering the Truth. I was convinced that Mulder (never Fox, just Mulder) would do anything for his partner, Scully, including dying and coming back to life. Coincidentally, The X-Files wrapped up the same year I tied the knot. Call it kismet or just a funny coincidence! -
Zach
To this day, I still find myself daydreaming about fictional characters, like Zach from Friday Night Lights. He’s the type of guy I could root for—not to mention the others like Daniel Craig as James Bond and Raylan Givens from Justified. But, let’s face it, none of these crushes can hold a candle to the real love I’ve found in my life.
In the end, these crushes may have been silly, but they were part of the journey. If you’re curious about exploring the world of home insemination, check out this great resource on pregnancy.
