Easy as an adult. But as a kid I feel like we jumped through soooo many hoops to de-risk telling someone we had a crush on them.

I remember those reallllly early games like MASH or even early "compatibility" apps. Very coy.

Yes, I can see how -- as a kid -- sharing an URL of your hashed crush with the world is not going to be awkward at all.

Putting links in your tiktok/whatever profile doesn't seem like very unusual nowadays...

Awkward is the name of the game.

There's nothing wrong with only wanting to reveal a crush if it's somewhat returned. If it isn't, you're just putting them in an uncomfortable position for no good reason.

And this hash url absolutely doesn't solve this problem
