  1. The most foolish thing I've done for love is moved across the country to be with a guy. It didn't turn out well.
    Thanks for the awesome hop!!

    1. Drastic, but not necessarily foolish. We are who we are because of the experiences we've had.

    2. I can just imagine, Elizabeth, the horrors of love. :-)

  2. Love the blog and this hop. Can't wait to see what else you have in store for us.

    The funniest thing I ever did for love was pay a classmate $5 to cut a picture out of the office poster of the boy I liked when I was in high school. lol

  3. I wore 4 inch heels and a catholic school girl outfit and waited for my hubby to come home from work and instead of coming alone he brought friends lol It was so embarrassing. The guys thought it was hilarious. Apparently he texted me but I didn't check my phone. So now I'm pretty good about checking my phone. Thank for organizing this hop!

    1. They probably think he has the most amazing wife. They are probably all so envious and think his sex life is SO much better than theirs is. Be sure to check out Tara Sivec's story "Love and a Little Plaid Skirt" on the 14th!

  4. Foolish thing I did for love was accepting a marriage proposal from my ex of two years after we were split up for 3 months after he found out I was having the time of my life, he wanted me back and I caved. Six months later, and after all the planning I chickened out and left him, for good!

  10. I got my boyfriend's name tattooed on me at 18...two weeks before we broke up. Of course we're married now (going on 11 years!) but I'd recommend to our kids to maybe wait before something so permanent ;)

    1. If you had fun then it wasn't foolish. I have gone to weddings or parties where later I wondered why I had even been invited. We all travel somewhere for a reason that may not be brilliant in retrospect - but it's what we make of the trip that counts.

  12. I snuck out of my house and spent three days at a hotel with my love...very irresponsible!

  32. The craziest thing I did was meet a guy I played World of Warcraft. He flew into town one weekend to meet me and I ended up quitting my job and moving out of state two days later. We've been married 4 years and things are amazing. So sometimes you just to go with it.

  40. I guess the usual teenage crushing on a guy stuff like staring at him all the time, writing his last name with my first on a scratch pad, and dreaming impossible thoughts. Sorry, I'm not one to put myself out there much.

  41. I really wouldn't call it foolish now, but back then when I did it????maybe a bit foolish! I used to pick up my best friend from work (i had a car she didn't) and while I would wait for her to come out of the office I would see this really cute guy walk across thre parking lot everyday he was there.So one day I whistled at him to get his attention-I think it worked 'cause 23 yrs later we have 4 kids and have been married for almost 17 yrs.

  43. Holy cow! This is Some Contest! And all for love. Isn't that fantastic? I'm a romance junkie, I admit it. Regency, Western, Paranormal, Suspense, you name it. If it has romance in it, it's for me. I enjoy the happily-ever-afters in romantic stories...they make me feel good.
