A crush that inspires you to take a hard class...


Question Posted Wednesday April 21 2010, 10:51 pm

So I like this boy, and he told me that he's taking AP Physics next year and that's really the main reason that inspired me to take it. Am I insane for doing this? I mean, I AM smart and highly motivated...Is this a "good" thing that I've done? I mean isn't it possible that a crush can inspire you to work harder and improve yourself in life? That's how I feel when I think of him. After wasting my time on a guy that only brought misery to my life (in terms of a semi self-destructive relationship) I want something more. I have such big dreams for my future and I know it sounds silly but my crush really does inspire me. A part of me thinks that this makes me some obsessive creep and that I might be in over my head. But the more I think of the class I think about how interesting it will be. All my high school career I've been chickening out of advanced math and science mainly out of fear. So I don't know, is this a good idea?

there is nothing wrong with that. even love can inspire you, and if he inspires you to do better in life then maybe he's good to have around.

It was just AP physics 1. It was... crap like 8 years ago now? We didn't have letters attached to it back then.

Yes, it's ridiculous to go into something like AP physics over a crush when you could just find him after class and talk with him. It's a crush, he might not even know you exist, and you just resigned yourself to one of the most difficult classes high school has to offer.

Unless you actually enjoy physics, I'd try to find a way to change it. I took an AP physics in high school. I got an A, but it took alot of work and I'm gifted in Math. I wouldn't recommend it for someone who isn't specifically interested in physics. I took it because I was entering college with Engineering as my chosen course.

Also, as a guy, if he finds out that's going to make you a lot less attractive and a bit more creepy. Guys expect to have to work for a girls interest. If he finds out you joined a physics class just to be around him when you were crushing, he's definitely going to have an ego the size of Jupiter within the confines of any relationship that might eventually form, and he may even be creeped out enough that he avoids you like the plauge.

When guys follow crushes around and join classes to be near them when they've hardly ever spoken in any real sense before, we're labeled as creepy and stalkerish.

Thats what you're being, and just because you're a girl (and thus mostly non-threatening) doesn't mean you can't come off as desperate and creepy.

Don't listen to other girls. They know nothing of how guys minds work. Unless you're following around some socially awkward nerd who'd faint out of fright at the manifest idea that someone wants to fuck them and who would probably stalk you too if they were interested, you're going to scare him off and have nothing but AP physics to show for it.

Yes i do think that it's a good idea you being smart & being highly motivated are two advantages for you they will most likely help you i don't think
it's silly that your crush inspires you everyone needs some type of inspiration and it just so happens that your crush is yours there's nothing wrong with that if you truely want to take the class
then i say go for it..it's worth a shot things may turn out differently then your thinking you never know challenge yourself you maybe surprised at how things turn out(:
