Whether you celebrate Valentine's Day or not, I challenge you today to Google some crush you had back in high school or junior high or summer camp. It has to be someone you haven't had any contact with for at least five years. I couldn't find most of the people I thought of, but I did find one guy, who was on a rival drama squad in high school.
