I am sure everyone here has atleast fell to this dreaded disease once. I would say it has happened to me 3X in my life.
However, the worst was in high school (mid 90's)
Word got back to me the end of my sophomore year that my attractive classmate (long blonde hair, green eyes, big chest) whom I have never spoken to before said "She thought I was cute".
I was a shy and awkward and NEVER (to my knowledge) had an attractive female notice me before and I "fell in love with her for it".
Some of the behavior I showed:
Junior Year: I had my gym class and art class (2nd and 3rd periods) switched so I could have gym class the same time as her. It was a different gym teacher than she had, but it was at the same time (Usually three different gym groups would share the gym)
Junior Year and Senior Year: She was in the marching band, and I purposely joined the color guard (we led the band out) just to be "around her" more.
Junior Year and Senior Year: I purposely befriended her female best friend (who was in one my classes) just to have closer access to my oneitis.
Junior Year and Senior Year: Most of the time when she would see me in the hallway between classes, she'd look over at me, give me a big smile, say Hi (using my name). I would be on cloud 9 everytime this happened and it would remain that way the rest of the day!
When she DID NOT greet me this way on other occasions, I would be depressed the rest of the day!
Conclusion: My crush and oneitis lasted junior year, senior year and even my freshman year in college (when she was at a different school)
We never went out, were never really friends, nor talked on the phone. We were just acquaintances. I think she knew I had the hots for her and I think she played along with it. (Not sure if she felt the same)
I had elevated this girl to such a high status, she was all I ever thought about for 2.5 years.
I went to a big high school (400 in my class) so I never had class with her. She was popular and well known, I sort of just flew under the radar.
I never made a move since I was shy and thought she was out of my league (socially, not looks wise)
I ended up ignoring other cute women who were Freshman and Sophomores who liked me. Of course I could not ask these women out; it would "betray" the fantasy I had with my oneitis.
I realize now how pathetic and sad my behavior was; but as they say "Youth is wasted on the young"
Let's here your story.
