Crushes in the Past

I’m defining crush as a strong sense of attraction for no apparent reason that doesn’t last very long (less than a month in my case).

===Elementary School===

刘畅 – 我不记得了。但是后来小学同学聚会的时候被提到说好像是喜欢过，但具体小时候究竟有没有喜欢，我记不太清楚了。我只记得小学的时候他是班上的体育委员，很喜欢踢足球。后来的聚会慢慢地感觉他很够朋友、性格不拘小节、喜欢开玩笑。哎，童年一去不复返。

Ryan or Brian – I can’t remember his last name.. nor his first name. But I’ve narrowed it down to either Ryan or Brian. He’s not the most popular guy in the class, often quiet, has his own group of friends. I’ve never even talked to him in class in my memory. I remember Tracy asking me what do I see in this guy and I replied with I don’t really know. I think it began when I watched him playing basketball. He reminded me of my cousin, which then reminded me of everything in Beijing. He has blond hair and blue eyes, pale and skinny, not very tall. Yes, I still don’t know why I had a crush on him.. But I do remember jotting down his number wanting to call him after school but eventually hid the number behind the poster in my bedroom..

===High School===

David Tingle – I had this crush for a day while dating boyfriend Jonathan. I think I was crying in Physics class and he sang my all time favorite song Green Eyes by Coldplay to me. So yea.. the magic of music. It didn’t last very long though, the feelings faded as I went to bed that night. David has the prettiest blue eyes I’ve ever seen though. Damn, I wish I can have them..

===University===

Albert Chau – He’s my Calculus Professor. I couldn’t remember his name, so I went on ratemyprofessors.com to find him (He’s being rated very high with a hot chili beside his name). Erm.. yea.. I’m not weird.. I think I developed the crush after watching A Beautiful Mind with Tracy. The idea of dating a math prof just became so wonderful over that movie. There are various occasions of flirting using words of wisdom between John Nash and his student soon to be wife (or you can simply call them being nerdy). But at that time I was completely drawn to the idea that math can be very romantic. I’ve actually attempted to pursue my crush by attending to his class even though I’m not supposed to go to his class (I belong to the other section). I then went to his after class office hours just before the midterm to “ask him questions”. After the other student was gone (I really wished he wasn’t there to begin with), we started talking about non math related stuff. Hmm.. I think we talked about KungFu related movies, books, etc. This led him on to mention that he went to a party and met NiKuang‘s son. He also showed me a photo of him with the guy and his wife (apparently she’s a celebrity in Hong Kong).

Ruosi – Again, I don’t remember his last name. He’s my cousin’s friend from Beijing. A international student, I believe. Much older than me.. oh wait, I guess I shouldn’t say that after the crush with my math prof.. But yea, I don’t know why I had a crush on him. He was playing table tennis when I first met him. I guess I just thought he was cute and that he’s adventurous because he went to Mexico for exchange student. But yea, this crush didn’t last very long..

OMG was that ALL there WAS? Damn, I’m such a boring person. I thought I’d have more crushes than this. But as I dig through my memory, it seems like this is all there was. My other crushes either developed into something more serious or was too brief and wasn’t memorable enough to stick in my memory. Maybe others can fill me in on this. Because I definitely thought there would be more…
