23 Men Confess The Craziest Things They Did For A Girl

17.

I had a massive crush on this girl. During senior year we were at a house party & we were flirting when the inevitable game of truth or dare started. Couple rounds in, it’s her turn & someone dares her to kiss her best friend. And obviously this sparks the interest of everyone at the party & everyone is waiting in anticipation to see what she does. She enjoys the attention for a moment, thinks about it & coyly says that she will do it but on the condition that I kiss my best bud Ryan first. I look at Ryan & Ryan looks at me & neither of us know quite what to do but he shrugs & is like, “if it’s for a straight reason, is it really gay?” So Ryan & I kiss & of course they end up chickening out. A couple years later after I realized I was gay, I tell my boyfriend the story & he laughs and says, even if it’s for a straight reason, it’s probably still gay.

I graduated mid-term my senior year, & she ended up staying to ride out the entire year but we kept in touch. I was trying pretty hard to win her affections. Spring break came in March, & she went on a Spring Break Trip with “the girls” to Florida which is literally an entire day’s drive from our native Indiana. Apparently, the car they drove down to Florida in was stolen, & she was afraid of getting in trouble with her parents. She begged me to come pick her up, & gave me the lovey-dovey flirty shit that made my heart flutter at the time. I was to be her Knight in Shining Armor. So I hopped in my car & drove 16ish hours to pick her & her friends up. When I arrived to the destination, I discovered that “the girls” somehow morphed into a boyfriend that I didn’t know about. We pretty much drove home in total silence & I never spoke to her again.

Gal came over for a visit when I was living in my grandparents beach-house. I’m a boring down-to-earth sod, she was the fun emo hipster-y type, completely wide eyed at this massive, spotless semi-mansion. We went out on the balcony & the cat in her immediately saw the small gap you could slide around to climb onto the roof. Every fiber of my being said “Don’t, that is a tiled roof” or “Don’t, grandparents will be mad.” but I relented & climbed out. I walked along the beams like a smart person but she was like “wheeee, roof!” & inevitably the tiles slipped beneath her & she fell over. I don’t think she would’ve fallen but I still sprang off the beam like a moron, landed in the curve & braced against the roof-curve to block her.

I got into this fight with this dude who kept hitting on a girl I liked, and it made her uncomfortable. I didn’t want it to escalate into a fight, I just told he had to back off, and he started swinging. After the fight was over, she made sure I was okay, and told me how good of a FRIEND I WAS FOR STANDING UP FOR HER.
