Your Daily Dose of Wholesome: The Men of Reddit Share What Happened to Their High School Crushes

High school crushes are a funny thing. For many people, their high school crush is someone they'll never forget. Maybe you had a huge crush on the captain of the football team or the head cheerleader. But what happened to them when they became an adult?

Whatever happened to your high school crush, they're probably not the same person they were back then. People change a lot over the years, so it's not surprising that your high school crush is now a completely different person.

One r/AskMen user asked his fellow Redditors "How did you high school crush turn out as an adult?". 

Some people's high school crushes turned out to be exactly what they'd hoped for. They married their high school sweetheart and are now living happily ever after. Others weren't so lucky. Their high school crush turned out to be a complete jerk who they now can't stand.

And then there are those people who have no idea what happened to their high school crush. They've lost touch over the years and have no idea what they're up to now.

Here's a look at some of the most wholesome, heartwarming, and funny responses by men on where their high school crush is today.

    This one didn’t start off too promising, but took an unexpectedly wholesome turn

    Handwriting - Ouija429 10 hr. ago She's a childhood friend and I had a thing for her forever since we grew up together. Honestly I eventually realized she had the intelligence of a brick. She ended up marrying the son of the largest meth dealer in the area. He was in the business too but something about them just worked he was always good to her and quit using and dealing all together. They're extremely happy with a few kids and I couldn't be happier for them. She deserves to be happy.

    Font - Cleftex 12 hr. ago I had two: One lives in Nashville now with a boyfriend, she's always been very interesting and up for adventure. Lived in a few cool places with a few cool jobs. We cross paths every once in awhile, always good to get caught up. The other is asleep in our bedroom with our cat. We've just come back from a great vacation, we are in a really good place building a wonderful life together.

    I hope he has burn cream (his original response: "She's married to one of my employees.")

    Font - QuestioningYoungling. 6 hr. ago Lol. That would be pretty funny, but, alas, she is married to another guy who works for me. It's all good though, he's a great guy and I was kind of friends with him growing up so it's good they ended up together. I still think she is beautiful, but it's not like I pine over her or anything. Only one time has my crush even come up and it was when her husband joked to a group of our childhood friends, "He may be my boss, but I have one thing he'll never have

    This is straight out of a Nicholas Sparks book

    Font - LiveError 14 hr. ago I love this question. I stupidly ghosted her (long story) and married a different woman. Woman I married turned out to be toxic af. Two weeks into the marriage I knew I made a huge mistake. I stayed in the marriage because of religious pressure. My crush/sweetheart also married a super toxic guy who cheated on her the entire marriage. She stayed in it because of the same religious pressure. We were both married to these people for 25 years. Pure hell. Then, we both fi

    I’m glad he came to his senses. This is such a heart-warming story

    Font - Arrowfinger777. 7 hr. ago Was on swim team with her. She had water skills. I only joined to meet girls. But I didn't get the nerve up to ask her out. Finally called her with my buddy the next summer. She ended up dating my buddy. Turns out he was a jerk to her and that brought us together. Dated 1.5 years in high school then I saw the big wide world coming after hs and stupidly broke up with her. Came to my senses a couple years later and asked her out again. We are hitting 30 years marri

    I saw a movie like this once

    Font - drowninginflames. 5 hr. ago I'm married to her. We met when she was 14 and I was 15. We became best friends during high school but never dated. We lost contact shortly after high school as we both moved to opposite parts of the country. Through the miracle of the interwebs, we found each other in our mid- twenties. Did a long distance friendship for a bit, then convinced her to move to where I was. Coming up on 15 years together soon, including 2 kids. I still sometimes find myself in awe

    I love it when there’s a happy ending, even if it took 30 years

    Human body - ImmortalGaze 8 hr. ago I met her again 30 years later, and she was the same incredible human being I fell in love with way back when. I didn't let her get away this time, I married her. We're 8 years in, and I've never been happier. I only wish I'd found her again earlier..
