When was the last time you had a crush?; Inspired by Bug

When was the last time you had a crush?

Reading Bug's thread I had to remind myself what a crush was. What I remember is that it was a harmless way to admire someone from a safe distance without investing too much emotionally.

Do adults have crushes? Or are they freer than minors to act on their emotions and end up making total fools of themselves?

Just thinking.

Trep ($$),

Yes, but I prefer to call them 'a healthy appreciation for beauty.' :Fes:

I don't recall specifically when the last time was that I had 'a healthy appreciation for beauty' before. Hmmm. Let me think on this for a second or two. :chin:

Nope, I can't recall any time recently.

Yeah, crushes are funny things.


There are always three possible outcomes.


1. :banghead: A certainty.


2. :indifferent: After the initial sex marathon, you realize there is nothing in common. At all.


3. :encore: Total victory, and a keeper. Rare, but possible.


And of course, as with us all, we sometimes push too hard, or not enough, not wanting to put the other person off. Who then mistakes that for indifference and feels a bit hurt. So then we turn up the heat, but now w'ere coming on too strong.

Bringing us back to :banghead:

^^^ I wouldn't say that number 3 is so rare.

There are more married couples out there then single individuals - at least once you get past a certain age. I think an awful lot of people get past the crush stage and into a long term relationship or marriage.

Bug is an adult! I'm pretty sure she's 22. I don't see anything juvenile about having a crush. Isn't having a crush just fancying someone? It's just like unrequited affection I guess.

I have crushes all the time. I have one on a guy at work at the moment. He is very cute and sweet but totally out of me leage and has a girlfriend.

However, even if he was single I don't think I'd chase him. I don't think we would work out.

^^^ Were you commenting to me with the statement about Bug being an adult? If so, I never meant to imply otherwise. All I am saying is that having the crush turn into a long lasting relationship is not as rare as Franko states, because if it was then we wouldn't see so many married couples.

I would say that all relationships start as crushes. A lifelong love could even be refered to as a crush that never ended. :wub:

No to Intrepid. I thought I'd quoted but it all went wrong somehow.

Minuet,

Hmmm, all relationships? Maybe. I didn't have a crush on my wife-to-be at first. We were friends, and that was it. Then one day, I did. From that point onward it was a lifelong crush. ;)

Sorry, meant to post that pic in Bug's other thread. Oh any excuse to post that pic. :wub:

BTW DCS. I'm sorry. I never meant to imply that Bug was not an adult or that having "crushes" was a bad thing or even childish.

I think what I was trying to say is that as an older person, I find it harder to act on a crush. (If that makes sense). As young people, there isn't any pressure to take the next step. We think it's cute, we call it first or puppy love and are more understanding when our young ones have crushes and infatuations.

When we become older and more experienced in life, do we then give it a different term and call it an initial attraction and then are compelled to ask that person out with the intention of taking it to the next level? Amongst single people, is it always about taking it to the next level? I know it's not, but sometimes it feels that way.

Sometimes the dating scene is just blah.

I consider a crush to be somebody unattainable. For example, I still have a crush on Milla Jovovich. I don't know why. But regardless, she is quite unattainable. Not only is she rich and famous but she is married. The fact that she is unattainable is probably why I still have a crush on her. It's kind of ridiculous though because I have no idea what her personality is like other than brief interviews. But I don't mind being child-like sometimes. One has to maintain a few child-like qualities I think so one doesn't become too cynical and arrogant as one gets older.

I was reading your comment on my mobile Noah and in my confused post work state I thought you'd said you had a crush on John Malcovich.

The tired mildly dislexic mind gives me a few laughs sometimes.

No worries Intrepid and I agree, the dating scene is often blah.
