crushes...

all the same · #1 07-22-2005, 10:45 AM

You would think I'd be past the "crush" stage in my life, but I still get MAJOR crushes on people. Anybody else?

The current crush:

I've had a crush on a guy who used to work at a local martini bar for like more than a year. We've been dancing around each other the whole time, or at least I think we have.

The lame thing about crushes is deep down you don't want anything to ever happen between you and the person you have a crush on 'cause it will kill the organism that is the crush. Crushes are like living, breathing things. They're really strange. If you watched My So-Called Life, Angela talks about her crush on Jordan like that.

So.... who else has a crush and wants to blither about it?

Oh I still get the occassional crush - sadly I haven't had one in about a year

My last was last summer while working at NPR - omg - I had the biggest crush on a guy who worked there....and yeah - good description of the crush by you and Angela lol - totally living, breathing things- I tend to obsess a bit (not in a scary way) - and I get really intense crushes. *sigh* I miss having crushes - no one here has captured my fancy yet.

I'm glad you said you obsess. I totally do too. Crushes become all consuming! And it's weird, but yeah, when you don't have a crush, you kinda want one but when you have one, you just want to bash your skull in to get rid of it! I feel like one of these retards ------>

*sigh*

I get crushes all the time. My current major one... Deanna knows about him!

(We went out again the other night - six weeks after the first time! Most pleasant shock of my life

).

But I also have lots of little crushes on guys I work with. I love it. I love the harmless flirting with some of them, I love the secret lusting about others of them...

I confess. I'm a crush slut.

Seriously.

I have such the obsessive personality (again not in a scary way) - and when I have a crush it's just crazy. Last summer's was nuts - but SO MUCH FUN!!! And the guy was all flirty - so that made it all the more fun/torturous.

I do miss it when I don't have a crush - in recent years I have begun to appreciate the animal that is the crush - and I just enjoy it. Stupid non-interesting Rochester boys

I just haven't met anyone crushworthy.

Oh wow! You went out again! Right on! I have been thinking of trekking down to DC to see last summer's crush

My e-mail thing totally isn't going to work...:\

Crush slut

I like that.

Those are the worst damn crushes of all! The ones where the person is so clearly not even cool, but you just have these weird lusty desires for them! Seriously, crushes are an organism, like a parasite that crawls into your brain and digs its pincher into the boner part of your brain!

You're going out with a crush? Your head must be ready to explode!

I seriously haven't slept more than 5 hours a night (badly) for the past 3 days. I am exhausted! I wake up thinking about him. It's totally crazy. Because I don't know if this is going anywhere - or if we're destined to be friends forever... *sigh* I need Stevie to write me a heartbreak/crush/undying love song...

I've got a catalogue of those kinda songs! But most are "you will never be loved so kill yourself" types. You likely don't want to hear them!

Now - what would YOU do if someone had a crush on you and you didn't feel the same? Just curious. How would you handle it?

(Just for discussion - not meant to be for anyone in particular).

Um -that's pretty much always the case

The question should be what would I do if the person actually DID feel the same way lol.

But I've never actually acted on one of my intense crazy crushes - because I just assumed they'd be unrequited. If I were to officially find that were true I'd hold my head up and realize that not everything can work out - and that it's just not meant to be - that is after I spend hours and day crying my pathetic eyes out.
