Childhood crush?

[Aerosteam]

I actually find the whole having a crush on a video game/animated character be more reasonable than celebrities, what you see isn't what you get most of the time.

I'm at the age where all the girls of the same age as you settle in for all the douchebags instead of the more mature type. Meh, I can't really get a crush on the party type, which makes up the majority of girls in my year.

In the non-celebrity category, I've had a crush on this girl(who's sitting 4 feet away from me, since she lives with me...in my room...and sleeps next to me) for 14 years:

She's one of my best friends. She moved in with me in November.
Not seeing each other very often over the years has kept my feelings at a manageable "just a middle school crush" level....but seeing her every day..... I've tried like crazy to keep myself from thinking of her as more than a friend but.....nope. It's been amped up to 11 now and moved right on past the "crush" level.

I think I'm going to see what she thinks of the idea of us being more than just friends.
I'm deadly aware of the dangers of the friendzone and all too aware that I may very well be stuck in her's.

*puts on safety goggles*

Wish me luck fellow Escapists.
Wish me all of the luck.

Good on you, mate.

I doubt you people were this insightful and critical of the popularity of celebrities when you were EIGHT YEARS OLD.

Childhood Crush? Jet from Gladiators. Only reason to watch the show (and I will have words outside with anyone who says otherwise)

What does she do now? She's actually a psychiatrist, who works in my general area of the country. Not sure that'd be such a good idea that...

I'm a 90s kid, so the Pink Power Ranger. Of course.

Hah, same here. Even though I hated the color pink.. <.<

 

[waj9876]

My childhood crush was Sherlock Holmes...I was a bit odd, rather bookish.

Hahaha. Nice to know more people than me had a crush on a fictional character from a novel. Awesome fictional characters.

 

[Wilfy]

Jennifer Aniston when she was on Friends.

I'd still get on it.

Absolutely this. Oh, and Keira Knightley too.

 

[necromanzer52]

Possibly Sora from digimon. I don't remember any celebrity crushes. Just a bunch of animated characters.

Didn't really have a crush when i was a child i was too busy playing, but i moved in with my dad at 13 and met a girl who's mum worked with my dad and to this day i'm still a little in love with her (i know sounds silly as i'm now 22 (she's 19 now)) i also have a major crush on haley williams!!

Escapists, who is/are your childhood crush?
and how does he/she look today?

Celeb crushes, I take it, since you aren't going to know about the girl I had a huge crush on in Elementary school. Ahem anyway.

Sean Connery. And not young "James Bond" Connery - "the Hunt for Red October" Connery. Yeah. Thought I had a thing for older men for a while. Nope, just Red October era Sean Connery. He's... yeah, not so appealing anymore.

Also, Sarah Sutton [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyssa_(Doctor_Who)]. She actually looks pretty good at 50. If she was gay... I still wouldn't have a chance with her, cause she's a British actress and I'm an American English teacher, but hey, a girl can dream, right?

 

[WaReloaded]

Trish Stratus. I remember how my friends and I would discuss who the most attractive WWE Diva was during the last two years of primary school. Also, Marina Sirtis (she portrayed Deanna Troi in The Next Generation).

Wish me luck fellow Escapists.
Wish me all of the luck.

Show her your penis, bitches love penis.

(Good luck, brah)

Wish me luck fellow Escapists.
Wish me all of the luck.

Good hunting.

Thank you, sirs. My endeavor now has the backing of The Internets, I CANNOT FAIL!

that's the spirit bro! go forth with our blessings and turn that girl into your woman! (and yourself into her man)

Wish me luck fellow Escapists.
Wish me all of the luck.

Good on you, mate.

HAHAHA!
Awesome. If she knew about rage faces I'd be sorely tempted to show her that(probably a terrible idea XD).
But again, thanks folks. Really.

I'll let y'all know how it goes.

Spoiler: Cough

I guess she still looks pretty much the same...

Personally, I was always more of a Taranee fan.

Taranee, huh?
Never liked her. She was down there with Irma.

Elyon though. There's an actual contender for Will. If it wasn't for the fact that Will was introduced first, I might not have ended up with a weak spot for redheads. I wonder how different I would've been today if that was the case.

I liked Elyon, but not that way. Hay Lin, though, I would have dated quicker than you can say Jack Robinson.

Hm.
I'm rather divided on Hay Lin. On one hand, I liked her quirky personality, but on the other: she's so... spindly.

Out of curiosity; how do you like Cornelia?

Eeeh...
She's really hard to place. She doesn't have any traits I really dislike, but she's just not that interesting. She had the occasional moment where she showed some interesting qualities, but overall she was just a bit boring.
And she had a tendency to mope and whine as well, if I remember correctly.

.....

Misty from Pokemon >.>;;

Well, that's the earliest one I can remember. I'm sure there were others, but I remember this one because I had a Pokemon calender that I liked to keep on Mistys month =3

Edit -

After reading a few earlier posts they reminded me also of jet from Gladiators, and the Pink power ranger

Both classic 90s kid crushes <3 Click below for pictures!

Phwoar!

 

[flyingwithsharks]

The pink ranger for Power Rangers was my first childhood crush. No idea how she looks now though.

EDIT: I had fantastic taste as a child. She still looks pretty good now too.

Hell Yes.

Spoiler: How could you not?

 

[Ieyke]

Well Escapists, I asked her. Unfortunately, our schedules were retarded and I only got the chance to say my piece before she had to leave. The only response she had time to give me was "Well you didn't give me much time" followed by a hug and her leaving.

and I got a message:

"MyName,
We'll have to talk about this when I get home
I need time to think
-HerName

You gave me no time."

I didn't realize I wasn't going to have time
So now I guess the waiting game starts....


*keeps fingers crossed*

 

[Strain42]

Ok well my Childhood crush was a girl named Michelle, of course I've lost all contact with her.

My first celebrity crush...hmm...I'm going to assume Jessica Rabbit doesn't count.

But as far as actual human celebrities go...probably Elvira.

And she's still pretty high on the list of celebrity crushes.

My number one celebrity crush right now though is Kat Dennings.

 

[GinraiPrime]

Hmmm childhood crushes....I think my first ones would've been April O'Neil and Janine Melnitz but in terms of real life celebrities first one was definetly Jet from Gladiators! Nowadays I'm not really bothered by many real life celebs, still got afew anime crushes but then I do have my awesome girlfriend now She still likes Yami Yugi and Johan from Yu-Gi-Oh so fair's fair lol

As to leyke, good luck dude! Wishing ya all the best man

 

[Fappy]

Ryoko from Tenchi Muyo.... my sister STILL gives me shit about it! That was 11 years ago god dammit!
