Had a crush on a nerdy girl in 9th grade. I was one of the comedians of the class but that doesn't mean I was a mandir ka ghanta. I was a cool comedian who was popular among the boys for my hilarious antics and jokes, but nonetheless I was a comedian. That means I get respect only in my club. The nerds only see me as a weird guy who makes them laugh. So I never bothered to ask her out because I knew she'd say no.
In eleventh grade, I changed my school and state. I was now a private guy in class, minding my own business. Some bully classmates played a prank on me telling me that a girl in the same class has a crush on me, and were pushing me to approach her. I believed them because they were some signals from past few days, but later on a friend of the girl told me that they are joking.
That was karma biting me for mocking a guy so badly in 10th grade that I was ended up being pulled to the Principal's office but I didn't care because those days I was very carefree.
Had a crush on a female teacher in my first year of college. The whole class knew about it. But never approached a girl on a date and those who approached me, I denied it because I thought I was never good enough to be something more than a friend.
Romantic talks bore me anyway. It's much better to be a casual friend than being in a relationship unless you only want sex.
