The 5 Stages of 1D Love

Wine O Mite · February 2013

1. Intrigue. You hear about them, you see gifs, you are intrigued enough to pull up some youtube videos.

2. Denial. There is no way that you can have feels for these guys....right?

3. Shame. They seem young but they are so adorable....but they really aren't that young, right?.

4. Feels. You watch the same youtube video 10 times and you can't stop. You need more!

5. Acceptance. You are telling everyone of your Directioner status and it makes you proud.

I have reached acceptance. I feel so self actualized.

Holy Crap my kid is at stage 4 already.

I think Denial should be before shame.

This is brilliant! I'm transitioning from 3 to 4 right now.

You are right. Denial is before shame.

Then one day you don't care who knows about your love for 1D and pump that shiit up to 20 in your car. You start telling DH about them and even your friends = true acceptance.

Truth. Whenever, my H asks me if I am watching 1D videos again, I smile and turn it up even louder. I recommend videos and songs to my friends now too. I also plan on going solo to the 1D3D if I cannot turn any of my local friends into Directioners.

I went straight from Intrigue to Feels. Harry is good that way.

scoutkate · February 2013

Interesting. I think that watching my friends overcome their own denial and shame ultimately led me straight from intrigue to feels.

I'm still tiptoeing into Acceptance, though. Outside of TB, I've come out to only a few loved ones. Reactions have been varied so I'm not ready to come out to the whole world yet.

I started at Feels. But then, I love boybands. As soon as I heard about Simon's boyband on XFactor, I was all over it.

gingerfamily · February 2013

I'm definitely in denial mode right now.

I fully transitioned to 4 last night. I watched Kiss You on youtube several times last night, even danced with DD to it a couple of times. That song is ridiculously catchy.

I started at feels too. What happens if we skip stages?

thebanich · February 2013

I am at feels. If my husband finds out he will make fun of me until the end of time.

We get to love them longer and tell everyone, "I told you so."

I think I'm at four right now. DH at least knows of this board now, so there's that.

kristyand · February 2013

I am admittedly in stage 2.

missyishere · February 2013

I'm teetering off stage 3, but I haven't watched any videos consecutively yet. I get a tinge of feels just from gifs. Does that count?

Hesterlicious · January 2014

I assume we all hit stage 5. DH only made it to 3.5

BoopADoopBetty · January 2014

The 1D calendar hanging in my classroom proves I'm well beyond stage 5
