Alas, crushes don't often last. We move on and they move on...and life goes on.
Here's what some of Team Datingish's crushes have been doing since breaking hearts back in the day:
All throughout middle school I had a crush on a boy named Ryan. His mom was my dance teacher, and I used to save the dance costume magazines that he would model in. A boy in a leotard and a sailor boy cap. What could be cuter?
Today, he has just gotten out of jail for his involvement with a prominent drug ring in my town. His Facebook status has informed me that there is nothing he loves more than "drinking, lifting, tanning and bein' a guido!" and he also loves Miami. Pictures tell me that he is no longer modeling dancewear but instead multiple tattoos and a ripped bod.
I gave him my heart when I was 8.... and he left it in his prison cell.
Two of my former crushes have decided they don't care for chicks anymore. One works in LA helping cut trailers for movies (sweet!) and the other works in Seattle working as a gay rights advocate (also sweet!). I'm glad they've both found things they're happy doing, but I did go "DAMMIT!" when I found out they were into guys (thanks Facebook).
My crush - and eventual ex of two years - followed me to New York for school, broke up with me the day before we got here, transferred back to a school in Ohio, and then dropped out. He is now jobless, girlfriendless, carless and a college dropout and increasingly miserable.

looks like you brought a bit of bad luck to your crushes uh? :D
are you some kind of witch? :P
[kidding of course]
A crush from middle school is now a drug addict and I don't think he's going to college next year.
So...
The last one moved...the current one is still here.
The current one is the one I actually care about.
Hmmm.... well my first crush (that I remember lol) is off at college, atheletic, and still REALLY good looking. lol But a complete jerk, so who cares?
I'm hoping they were all crossing the street at the same time and got hit by a bus.
1st crush: Same age as me--15, in some really good highschool thirty minutes away from me, still cute, haven't talked to him in about seven years, he was my best friend.
2nd crush: 16, druggie, always gets into fights, smokes, drinks... basically a bad guy. Oh and he turned bi in like the 4th grade.
3rd crush: 16, in high school, involved in sports, but (he added me on facebook out of nowhere) I recently found out that he smokes weed.
4th crush: 15, I still think he's adorable (he has a baby face! xD), plays tennis (sometimes we play together since we're both on the tennis team), very smart, plays the piano and guitar, overall a great kid.
5th crush: 16--soon 17, VERY smart, plays almost every sport (was on the track, tennis, baseball, and basketball teams), TALL (big plus), he's just very well-rounded.. I guess thats why I liked him so much. He's reserved and very quiet/shy (just like me), and really nice/gentlemanly. But I don't have a crush on him anymore... idk why, he's a really great guy and treats me nice, I just dont like LIKE him anymore. I'd rather want him as my close guy friend.
@Olyachka@xanga - lols... yeah, me too. one's a big pothead. not to offend anyone. can't say i've never done it myself. but major major pothead who stole money from me and my friends and can't hold a job. another... i think he's gay and doesn't know it yet. another is in his 30's and doesn't seem to be going anywhere with his life. still lives with his parents. good job though. a couple are happily married. not to each other. and so on...
Most serious/longest-lived crush: now my ex of more than a year, has a huge amount of debt, no bachelor's (at 24), works at a job he hates. Single. Still wears the Hawaiian shirts and red shoes I loved on him in high school. But he just finished a week as a Christian camp director.
It's too early to really see where they are.. but let's see so far it looks like...
1-- Art Major2-- Blonde, City College(?)3-- Angry, Going to a University College4-- Going to a State College5-- Jobless, Undecided, Going back to School.
My only serious crush was my best friend in high school, and we had a semi-relationship going on. But after I graduated he entered into a long committed relationship for 5 years, and then they broke up just as he was graduating from a great university, and he immediately went to Europe after that and got with quite a few chicks. Great guy though, I think he's teaching high school now but possibly going back for his masters. I just wish we could rekindle our friendship even though now I don't like him that way anymore...
One guy that I really liked, I would consider one of my hugest crushes...
I found out that he never graduated high school and barely got a GED in 2008.
I'm so glad I didn't actually fall for that guy, but he was one MAJOR infatuation.
Another one of my crushes used to live down the street from me, but then he moved in 8th grade and I caught up with him sometime a few years back when facebook was invented.
Now he's married to some girl he probably met from college.
my crush from high school got married and then a divorce, enlisted into the army and now he's dating a divorce woman. i saw him in 2005 and he looked so different from when i remembered him.
My first crush was in 2nd grade, I thought he was sooooo cute, but he didn't feel the same way.
Now he's obesely fat. mwahahaha.
Most of my notable crushes are now married some of them have children now... haha. I guess I pick good crushes. Just need to find a good one to marry! haha
I had a crush on someone from 6th to 8th grade-ish. It never went anywhere. I moved on and he's in college somewhere now and has a promising future ahead of him if all goes right.
Being a complete bitch somewhere near Oakland.
She fits the town to a T.
after we broke up, he knocked up some bitch, & then he went into hiding.
what a deadbeat loser.
i dont have any exes. but my bf has an ex. and i heard she's a catwalk model now, not a famous one, but still, a model.
but still i dont give a damn. waahahahahaha.a.a....a.... do i?
My crush.. and eventually my ex (hahaha) is now balding and dating a fat girl who can pass off as his sister. xD
i had so many crushes but idk where they are now haha
One of my ex's from school reportedly turned lesbian during the years we weren't talking; now she's dating one of my old school friends who is a guy and they seem pretty happy. I did always think there was something between them; eh, now I know.
Oh, and my first gf from school, got fat, then got married to an army guy and is now divorced, back living with her parents and seems fairly miserable. A little while ago she got in touch and hinted towards getting back together with me; alas, I am no longer interested.
the boy i had a crush on when i was 14 is now the singer in a rock band, one of their songs was on a major movie soundtrack...
my latest crush is now simply JUST my friend. that turned out really well... lol My highschool crush now looks haggard, miserable and old although he's only 28. O_o
i had a lot, but let's say about the worst ones :]
A crush I had 3 years ago dropped out of HS, still never got his GED after working for it for the past year or so. Currently at a dead-end job, living at home with mom, and little social life. Still trying to holler at me :]. Oh did I mention, the girl he broke up with me for, ended up landing his ass in jail, plus it didn't even last. AND now he;s girlfriend-less for the past 2 years or so.
A crush I had 5 years ago broke up with me a week before 2 months. He broke up with me on valentines day. He failed that year that he broke up with me. And did HORRIBLE the years afterwards. He has been asking for me back for the next 3 years or so after that. He currently goes to college, gaining weight, losing friends. To this day, I'm still his longest relationship.
Okay fine, those aren't THAT horrible, but :] makes me smile thinking about it.
