Life Of A Blogger is hosted by the fabulous Jessi from Novel Heartbeat where we let people know more about our lives outside of blogging so they can get to know us better!
Ha ha, I’m a bit stumped with this topic/question. What is the craziest thing I’ve ever done? That is a hard question because I do like to think myself as a sane person. I mean, who doesn’t?
After thinking for about three days (yes, I seriously had to think for about three days to answer this question/topic), the craziest thing I have ever done is probably dating a guy I knew for only two (or was it three?) days. (I dunno, this happened a long time ago so I don’t remember how long I knew him exactly.)
Crazy, I know.
And it’s a relationship that’s doomed to fail. Like, duh.
He was just so cute when I met him – he made me laugh like nobody else can, we shared a lot of similar opinions (he wasn’t into books sadly), and time went by so fast when I was with him. I just couldn’t resist his charms. Talking to him made me happier than I ever felt in days.
Our relationship only lasted for about three months and those three months were rocky, as you can expect when you only knew the person you’re dating for about three days. About a week and a half into the relationship (I think it was a week and a half, it might be two weeks too), I learned something major about him that I didn’t know about him before I started dating him (again, not like I would know this about him since I’ve only knew him for two to three days before we started dating) and honestly, I didn’t like how it changed him sometimes. It’s certainly not his fault; it’s not something he can control, but I still don’t like how he acts sometimes. I don’t want to go into further detail about it since it’s a private situation for him and all, but yeah.
During those days he was going through what he was going through, I really wanted to break up with him, but at the same time, I felt guilty if I was going to do that because his condition wasn’t his fault, so I stuck with him. Looking back now, I honestly wish I didn’t because nothing good came out of it.
I finally broke up with him when we were three months or so into the relationship since he was flirting with a lot of girls – even when I was with him. To make matters worse, he flirted with girls that I didn’t get along with and he knew that I didn’t get along with them. That was when I finally had enough – I was tired of his mood swings, tired of his ridiculous attitude, and tired of his wandering eyes; I was just tired about everything about him. Good riddance is all I can say now.
So yeah, that’s probably the craziest thing I have ever done. Do I regret it? No. I learned from that crazy mistake I made and boy, I will never make the same mistake ever again. This time, I will make sure I know the guy I’m dating very well before I actually start dating him.
How about you? Were you ever in a similar situation as I was? What is the craziest thing that you have ever done? I want to know!
I’ve been in a relationship similar to that. But we lasted for almost a year an a half. It went really well for the first few months and then things started going downhill but I was afraid to break up with him, not because I was afraid OF him, but with what he had already been through I didn’t want to put him through anything else but I ended up hurting him anyways. Looking back I probably could have handled the situation a lot better but the past is the past! Can’t change it.

You’re pretty much describing my relationship, except for the “ended up hurting him anyways.” But maybe I did hurt him, but I could care less because I’m not going to stand there and watch my (now ex) boyfriend flirt with other girls in front of me. No, just no.
We both could definitely handle our situation a lot better. o:

The craziest thing I ever did was move to Colorado to live on a commune. I lasted about four and a half months. I missed my sister and moved back so I wouldn’t miss that Christmas with her.

Well, at least you know now not to move to Colorado. ;D

The craziest thing I’ve ever done is ask my climbing partner to climb to the top of Devil’s Tower National Monument in 2013. I didn’t think he’d go for it. But he did, naturally. And once we got there and looked up at 800 vertical feet, I nearly upchucked my breakfast. Nonetheless, we did it in 4 hours. Scariest and most exciting moment of my life.

I can totally relate! I think we all have those “love at first sight” that don’t go so well!
Missie recently posted…Endless is “out of time”
Ha ha, for me it wasn’t really “love at first sight” but more like “in deep like with your personality at first,” if there’s such a thing. :P

I’ve had my fair share of bad relationships, that’s for sure. And there have been one or two that I didn’t actually know before I dated…yep, always ends in disaster. It’s definitely good to take things slow!
I’ve regretted some of them in the past, but I don’t anymore because they led me to my wonderful fiancé :)
Jessi @ Novel Heartbeat recently posted…Life of a Blogger: The Craziest Thing You’ve Ever Done
Okay, thank goodness I’m not the only one who did this. :P
Awww. <3
Hopefully that'll happen to me too! ;D
Kelly recently posted…Book Review: Uninvited – Sophie Jordan
Something similar happened to me when I was fifteen. I was dating a guy I’d known for a while through the same social circle, but I realized after we began dating how little I really knew about him. He waited until we’d been dating for about six weeks to tell me that he had a history of clinical depression and multiple suicide attempts. It was way too much for me to deal with at fifteen, but I tried anyway, and of course the whole thing crumbled to pieces. But I certainly never made the same mistake again.

That sounds like my relationship with my ex, but he didn’t tell me about his condition six weeks into the relationship and I had to find out the hard way. (When he was in one of his “moods.”) I just couldn’t handle it. :l
Like you, I will certainly never make the same mistake ever again.
Kelly recently posted…Book Review: Uninvited – Sophie Jordan
I don’t think I’ve done any crazy things in my life – yet. I do want to have a little more spontaneity in my life every now and then. I’m someone who over thinks things too much and that can be annoying.

I take it as a good thing – if you don’t do any crazy things, you have nothing to regret! :D
Kelly recently posted…Book Review: Uninvited – Sophie Jordan
I haven’t exactly experienced this yet… hehe.
The craziest thing I’ve ever done? I lead a pretty mellow life but I think the craziest thing I’ve ever done was perform in a school concert with minimal practice. Idk. That or try to face my intense fear of roller coasters, which is not yet accomplished. I hate them so much, lol.
Great post and I hope you’re okay with the whole sitch now <33
Nova @ Out of Time recently posted…Video TAG: The Book Tower Challenge
Then do something crazy NOW like ask that guy out he he. -wink wink-
Performing in a school concert with minimal practice sounds more like laziness LOL. A really crazy thing is asking that guy out -nudge nudge wink wink-
Kelly recently posted…Book Review: Uninvited – Sophie Jordan
I’ve had two relationships like this, one that ended awfully after 3 years, and one that lead me to my husband! Haha
I’ve always been a, jump in with both feet, kind of person. You only get this one life, and all that jazz ;)
Yay, I’m happy one of your relationships lead you to your husband! :D<3
(Maybe that will happen to me too. Who knows? :P)
Ha ha, like a 5th grader guy in my class says almost all the time, YOLO! (I usually hate it when people say that, but in this case, I must say it. ;D)
Kelly recently posted…Book Review: Uninvited – Sophie Jordan
I have never had a boyfriend in my life, but I mean I had this one guy who liked me and then we got into a huge drama fest and it was equal parts hilarious as it was awkward and now we hate each other but it’s all goooood. Anyways, I know what you mean about not wanting to tell someone the truth or end things with them because of something they can’t control. But after a while, it can get really exhausting. Thanks for sharing, Kelly! I’m glad that you learned something from it because that’s always the most important thing, to me at least :) <33
Eileen @ Singing and Reading in the Rain recently posted…Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge
That drama fest sounds fascinating and fun. :D
And psst, you should pinch him for that. ;D
Yeah, dealing with his mood swings was EXHAUSTING. Like, so exhausting that I would sometimes avoid him when I could. :l
Kelly recently posted…Book Review: Uninvited – Sophie Jordan
Considering I’ve only ever had one real relationship, ummmm nope. Nothing like that has ever happened with me. I think that’s what happened to a guy friend of mine, but he won’t tell me anything about that relationship sooooo O.O
I guess love at first sight really doesn’t exist! Or maybe it does, I wouldn’t know.
The craziest thing I’ve ever done is not even close to this haha
Joanna V recently posted…Life of a Blogger (5)
Ha ha, I can understand why your guy friend won’t tell you anything. :P
In my opinion, love at first sight doesn’t exist, but that’s just me.
Do tell!
Kelly recently posted…Book Review: Uninvited – Sophie Jordan
I can, too. But that doesn’t make me any less interested xD
Based on my (very little) experience, it doesn’t. I mean, you really can’t love someone you don’t know. At least not in a romantic way. Being attracted to someone is different o.o Maybe even an unexplainable connection – but yeah, neither of those is really love~
But mine is between ice skating and blogging, apparently! My whole post about this was a journey to figure out what in my life was crazy xD
I finally decided on blogging because it really does take up a bit of time – and my parents certainly think I’m crazy for trying o.o
Joanna V recently posted…ARC Review: Heartbeat by Elizabeth Scott
Kelly, your story sounds familiar. While I didn’t have the exact same experience, I do know how it feels to like someone who’s eerily similar to yourself and then finding things that annoy you. I’m not sure what the craziest thing I’ve ever done is just yet. I think I do pretty tame, boring things mostly.
alice-jane recently posted…The Numbers Game: the Obsession with Stats & Follower Counts
I’m sure I’m not the only one who had this kind of experience sadly. Other people who commented had similar experiences to mines too. o:
That’s what I thought too, until I racked my brain and thought about this topic for 3 days. :P
Kelly recently posted…Book Review: Uninvited – Sophie Jordan
I did the same thing when I went to college. My senior proposed me and I was head over heels just because he was a popular face in college so I just agreed to date him and that relation was totally crap. It lasted for 5 months and then I had to get out of it. He used to have relations with other girls behind my back and went on dates with them. When I found out I was shocked beyond imagination and I broke up with him instantly. I guess that’s the craziest thing that I have ever done and will ever do as well. He shattered my believes and dreams of True Love and thankfully now I know that reel life and real life can never be the same. Thanks to him.

WHAT. That guy dated other girls behind your back and went on dates with them? THE NERVE. UGH.
That’s why I’m going to take the time to get to know the guy now before I date him. I can guarantee you that we both won’t make the same mistake twice.
Kelly recently posted…Book Review: Uninvited – Sophie Jordan
Yeah I have promised to myself the same thing that I wouldn’t just jump into any relationship just because the guy is good looking and a heart-throb. That stupid teenage mentality has long gone. He taught me the darker and the crueler side of practical life and that it doesn’t match with fantasies and happy ending!!!
Satty recently posted…Book Review: Erasing: Shadows by K. D. Rose !!!
I agree with Missy. I think we all have similar moments. I sure have. Glad everything is going better for you now!
It’s from those experiences we learn our lesson and become smarter people. ;D
Kelly recently posted…Book Review: Uninvited – Sophie Jordan
Ohh, I can relate with this, and I think it’s someone everyone should go through – or maybe not should, but I think you get what I’m saying. It’s such an interesting time in your life, and it helps you to grow.
This is also such an interesting meme! Definitely participating in the future.

Eh, it sounds like a good thing you ditched him then. Although the Flynn and cupcake GIF is super adorable. :) I haven’t seen a lot of this meme, but it sounds really neat! I think I’ll have to try it one of these weeks!
Cait D recently posted…Level 2 by Lenore Appelhans (okay, I did not see that coming)
Wow, I didn’t expect this for some reason LOL
It sounds like a good story to tell your grandchildren – even though it ended badly, and all that. If life were a book, you and him would’ve worked though everything, he would’ve stopped his flirting ways, and the two of you would have lived happily ever after. But, sounds good that you ditched him, cause in real life it doesn’t work that way lol.
I’ve never been in a similar situation; though in all honesty, I’m a bit of a late bloomer – been on one date my entire life, which still might be the craziest thing I ever did – we met on a bus and he asked for my number. We met a few hours later and he even kissed me, but that was more of a turn off than anything else. He knew me for exactly a couple of hours – how could he do it that quickly? Felt like a guy who’s been doing it for a while, if you know what I mean… also, I got the feeling he had a girlfriend, though that might have just been the paranoia and then inability to understand why the heck he asked ME out lol
Considering he didn’t even call me once for a month, though, I think I might not have mistaken after all. He has some excuse about his brother breaking something and having had to send him overseas for surgery or something… but let’s face it – he could’ve sent a text telling me something bad has happened and you can’t talk – it would take exactly 30 seconds.
Not to mention I was actually happy he didn’t call me and upset when he did – his touchy feely behavior REALLY made me uncomfortable, and I didn’t want to meet with him again. So, naturally, I turned him down. More than once cause he tried to convince me. He sounded sullen when he accepted that – ego boost to me!
So, here ends MY crazy story!

I kinda understand what it feels like to rush into a relationship, and I know that it can end up pretty badly. I’ve also experienced being with a guy with wandering eyes and it sucks. But like you, I think it is an experience that made me learn and be better. Sometimes I feel like we have to just go through these things to really understand and grow stronger. That’s the only reason I don’t regret it as much as I should because it made me a more mature person.
