Childhood crush?

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

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 luck, man. You might be better off not wearing goggles. Don't want to look silly, y'know.

Blame my mom letting me watch Buffy as a kid.

As for girls I knew personally, I had a crush on my friend Andy (Andrea) back when we were kids, and we dated for a while a few years back. Now we are still friends, but at the same time we are more than that, we still flirt with each other and stuff.

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

Thanks guys. I really appreciate it...

BUT

She got home finally.

I'm totally friendzoned and apparently made her cry and stress overload about hurting me and where she should live etc etc etc. That was exactly the one thing I was trying to avoid...
I feel horrible about that...
Luckily, I think I made it all okay. Thank the gods I'm great with words and communicating ideas.

So yea. It really really really really sucks, but I'm just so...I dunno...battle-hardened to this stuff that I'm okay. Just a thousand times more worried about her being all good and not feeling like she needs to move out.

Damn, I'm sorry dude.

Ha, never got a crush on any actress !

Easily Kelly Hannesse (Dutch pronounced). Yeah, she was my childhood crush. She walked into my classroom when i was 14 for the first time and I was in awe and shock, because I had never seen someone as beautiful like her and i had never felt anything like that before. After 2 years I finally asked her out for a date and we hit it of pretty well and started dating. Then she had to move to Germany because of her father's job, so obviously it didn't work out. That was 4 years ago

I saw her a couple of months ago again when she was in Belgium. She told me she was visiting and ofcourse I went to see her. I realised quickly there were awkward smiles because I already was with my current girlfriend, so we didn't get too emotionally envolved and then she left again. Yes she'll always have a special place, being my first crush, but i'm in a happy relationship now =).

 

[Shraggler]

Christina Ricci, although at that age I only knew her as Wednesday Addams. Great thing is, we're the same age, so it was never awkward and she's still smoking hot.

Yes. She's had me since fucking Casper.

I had a lot of crushes as a youngster. Man, I wish I could be a kid again.

"If you having Girl Problems, I feel bad for you son, I've got 99 problems but the ***** ain't one."

But seriously, ouch dude, I hope you sort things out with her, that must really sting. Give her time, she must be very insecure about her feelings, so all you can do is take to the sidelines and wait and see how she feels.

 

[Ieyke]

Yup. Now I'm just gonna go ahead and wait. Keep treatin' her awesome. Give it some time and see if she comes round. It's about all I can do.

We just went out to dinner (like we do) and had a blast. I'm pretty sure we'll be okay.
Maybe now that the idea is in her head she'll actually start thinking about it and consider what we could have.
*shrug*


But anyhow, thanks guys. Always good to have some extra moral support*.

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

Apparently, my highschool english teacher was a stunt double for the pink power ranger. Of course, I believed her. She's my favorite English teacher by far.

Spoiler: Cough

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

Unless the art style has changed over the years. Who is she?

That would be Will Vandom.
The comic is called W.i.t.c.h.

Amy Jo Johnson the original Pink Power Ranger (Face palm) I can't explain it!

Soz to hear that man. Like some other Escapists have said, just let things settle and see how things go from there. I was in a similar situation with my girlfriend. She saw me as a friend for ages and then I took the plunge but wasen't good at the time, but I held out and things eventually did go in my favour. Hopefully this helps to show some of us have been in the same boat man Keep ya chin up and hopefully things'll go good for ya!

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.

No way you put Irma as a mark for the bottom! I agree with Taranee though...

Her personality bugged me...
And I guess her hairstlye reminded me too much of my mum.

 

[Ieyke]

...and sleeps next to me

Uh...is it in the same bed? Is that a question I should even be asking?

Yup.
Same bed.
Like anywhere between 2"-2' away from me.
2"-2' too far...

Oh my goodness. Your work is already done for you. Best of luck

If only that was the case...

Again, many thanks. That's basically what I'm hoping for, or something like that. I think I basically give up active hope, but will keep right on treating her right and loving the hell out of her the way she'll let me, and then passively just hope that one day she comes round, if that makes any sense.
I'm not sure if a difference between "active" and "passive" hope makes sense to anyone but me...

 

[DudeistBelieve]

Loved her since Stranger Than Fiction...

Helena Bonham Carter. She's older than my mum (my mum was quite young when she had me) but god damn, that woman is beautiful.

Wouldn't say she was my child hood crush, but I've loved her since Sweeney Todd.

 

[trollnystan]

Good lord, I feel old from reading about some of your crushes.

One of my childhood/teenage crushes was Colin Firth as Mr Darcy (from Pride & Prejudice).

Spoiler: Mmmm, Mr Darcy... Yum!

I had a few others but he's the one I can remember right now.

Coming from experience, passive is not the way to go. This girl and I both liked each other and neither of us acted upon it for around 6 months. I had an epiphany and asked her out and we are now dating. Its better to be turned down than to live with regrets for what could have been... Tell her how you feel, I promise it will make a better impression than waiting for her to love you back.
