Crushes

<p>If you&#39;re ever done something really, really dumb for someone you were romantically in to, it&#39;s not your fault. The human brain becomes 110% dumber when under the influence of a crush. It&#39;s science!</p><h2>Someone <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/1w5t8x/whats_the_dumbest_thing_youve_done_for_someone/" target="_blank">asked</a> Reddit: &quot;What&#39;s the dumbest thing you&#39;ve done for someone you&#39;ve had a crush on?&quot; These TK people share their most embarrassing stories of lovestruck behaviors:</h2><p>1.)

We were going about 40 mph on an asphalt road, and my ball cap flew off. She said, &quot;you better jump out and get it (jokingly)&quot;. I dove out of the back of the truck and rolled down the pavement several times. I got my hat, and stood up as if I was unscathed. I played it off like a tough (yet obviously very stupid) guy. The next day I woke up in excruciating pain and went to the hospital. I had broken my collarbone, two ribs, and the radius bone in my forearm.
