Crushes Part 1: Half-Eaten Chocolates

Before real relationships, there were TV crushes, Tuxedo Mask standards, compatibility tests, and one very romantic box of chocolates that had already been half eaten. In Part 1 of their crushes conversation, Janice and Suzanne look back at the awkward, funny, and quietly formative ways they learned about love, from cartoons, TVB, boy bands, school crushes, and the complete lack of “the talk” at home. It’s expectations vs. reality in full 90s/Y2K form: childhood butterflies, confusing signals, big feelings, and the slow realization that love was probably supposed to feel less like guessing and more like being seen.
