Back in 2017-2018, I was in 7th grade middle school when I met my first (and so far only) crush to date. It was this very short-easily the shortest in the grade-but cute white gal with wavy dark brown (bronze?) hair and hazel eyes as I recall it. I think she was something like 4'-9"? Maybe 4'-7"? I dunno...
This was also around the time when I had just joined AK and was still (very much) learning to have polite internet discussions considering my immaturity (which was not just limited to AK, mind you...but also YouTube & esp. Google+ which I was EXTREMELY edgy towards and would get into arguments with Internet strangers all the time!)
Anyway this crush was very kind and super sweet. Even though she was already taken by one of my classmates at the time (who I recently got back in touch with after many years), I distinctly remember she would give me a pack of those seaweed sheets every so often, and I would take a bite out of the whole pack of sheets like the dingus I was...also remember playing arm wrestling with my classmates including her. Good times were had.
The last time I saw her in-person was on June 2nd 2018 when I was walking with my mom to go look at a CRT TV I saw at a garage sale in a rich part of the neighborhood when I heard my crush call my name to say hi. She told me she was moving out, but I didn't think to ask where...nor did I think to ask for her contact info. Apparently neither did my mom. I didn't have a phone at the time, and it would be nearly two months later that I would get my first phone. This was also shortly before I joined AK. I did have a tablet, except that I never took it out with me (since it was a Wi-Fi only model, no LTE).
8 years later, none of my old school friends nor any of my teachers that I've been able to get in touch with know where she went. We have a name (first & last), we have a face...we just don't know if she's still alive, or if she even has any social media presence. This (almost) feels like a missing persons case.
For now though, I'd like to hear about your stories of "the crush that got away"
