i got some fortune cookies and sliced open the plastic sleeves really carefully at one end. i took out the fortunes with tweezers.
i made 3 replacement fortunes that looked authentic, with messages like, 'you will start to find [a girl who looks like hyperlexian] really attractive'. one the back, i put the digits of my phone number instead of lottery numbers (broken into 3 logical groupings, i.e. 555, then 123, then 4567).
i carefully inserted the fortunes back into the cookies (harder than it sounds) and resealed the plastic packages with invisible tape.
i left one for him each day, and after the second one he told me he had a girlfriend. was slightly awkward after that as i had misunderstood his flirtation. wasn't really his fault though cuz i saw what i wanted to see.
That's really cool, too bad it didn't work out.
I wrote a poem for the girl I liked, but didn't tell her who it was for. I was just mentioning casually that I was working on a poem. I then sent it to her when it was done and asked what she thought. She complimented it a lot and said something like "whoever it's about would be mad to say no, seriously." When she asked who it was about, I told her to read the first letter of each paragraph. It spelt out her name.
Though, that isn't really that crazy, but hey.
And yes, it did work. Sadly I'm no longer with her, but we are still friends.
