I'm starting to think that I should start a thread about the sexual misadventures of our friends here at the Escapist. XDBara_no_Hime said:
...I might actually do that. You'll play, right? XD
I've had several crushes over the years, but one I chased for a few years before finally stopping for both of our sanity's and our friendship's sake. Her name was Ellen.
Since I've met my current gf though, Kayla, I haven't really had any crushes. Not unless you count the fleeting, "Well, she's pretty." thoughts/comments as crushes. I'm kind of weird like that though. When I have a gf, I don't really consider other girls that way. I might think that they're awesomely attractive, but I don't really crush on them. Ruins porn for me though.

If you had asked me an hour ago, I would have said Amber. But now, I have to admit that my crush is also my rival in wits, in opinion, in everything. Her name? Sami.
Rémy.
He is my mancrush. I would cuddle him. But, like, in a totally heterosexual way. It would be a brocuddle.
In July I am going to go see him and we will have a really gay old time I mean happy I mean gay but as in happy.
I am not a homosexual.
(Also I have a genuine thing going on with a girl named Heather. Shh don't tell anyone shhh.)

The last crush I had was with a girl from New-Zealand called Marieke, but that was 10 years ago. I really haven't had a crush on anyone in the last decade. Which is very odd since I'm a hopeless romantic.
Not saying, it's someone on this website. It should be gone by now. Is getting crushes on internet strangers unreasonable or uncommon?
It's quite silly. I keep in mind that no-one is likely to be perfect no matter how much brain chemicals try to trick you, that there are other people, that relationships resulting from infatuation are statistically more likely to fail (although I don't know anymore if that's a reason not to try), and all of those other reasonable, level-headed things that downplay crushes. I'm also jaded about long distance relationships. Yet I continue to repeatedly view this person's profile and think about them (well, the image of them I formed in my mind) too much. I rationalised that it wasn't incredibly creepy because it's arguably similar to developing an affection for an actor, a fictional character, or a columnist. In a way it might just be better to confess so I can change somehow rather than continue with a vague hope that we'll meet naturally against all odds (but then I could feel I've dug myself into a hole by having to admit to being a weird secret admirer some time ago) or try to be friends, but maybe it's best to do nothing and let it fade with time.
It took me a while to understand what it is to actually feel love for people, as in a feeling that wasn't a crush. I never understood the desire to hug family or friends until recently. It's making me wonder if I ever confused different kinds of love in the past by falling for people because I felt sorry for them. I don't think I know/knew what love is in the fullest sense.

Not even the Greek words "eros, agape, and philos" really cover it. Would an asexual crush on someone be considered eros? I'm not asexual but I never naturally looked at attractive men and wanted to have sex with them, although I could admire them like a pretty painting and maybe develop a crush on them as I'd associate personality traits with their demeanor and appearance. My friends would be drooling over some magazine cutout of a really ripped guy and I'd be like "I don't get it". Maybe I'm just more touch-oriented and have forgotten how it feels (except hugs, I always wanted hugs, but I hadn't kissed anyone since I was eight or nine and obviously that wouldn't have been the same).

It was sort of the same for me but the other way around. What does being strongly physically attracted to someone feel like, is it just being turned on around them? How can you want to even hug them if you don't like them emotionally on some level? Is it the "chemistry" of being around them, with liking the way they look?SilentCom said:

Do you think a crush is different to limerence or infatuation? I only just learned of the term "limerence", I'm not assuming you don't know what it is, but in case you don't:Tulks said:

I do have a crush and it's so good. I think it's just about my favorite.
I stopped having a crush (Elizabeth) when she accepted to be my girlfriend.
Orange Crush

Doesn't it put you off that she just walked away like that? She might have an insufferable personality, for all you knew.Omey said:My crush is a complete stranger!! and I believe it was love at first sight because i have never seen anyone more beautiful in my entire life,yet.

Imagine her doing something embarrassing. Imagine her at 55 with a pudgy waist and frazzled hair. Wait, imagine her with no makeup, in a fluorescent zip-up fat suit (if she's already obese and you're into that kind of stuff, you can just imagine her as a big ball) with a lovely pattern of snails and bold geometrical shapes printed on it, and some crocs* on her feet. Hell, her fatsuit may as well have "I love crocs" written on it with a sharpie. So she's standing there, and she does a strip tease coming out of her colossal fat suit and she's wearing "granny panties" and there are blow-up pictures of everything that could be considered remotely unattractive and unromantic about her duct taped around her body, like her face mid-vomit, or the corner of her eye when she's just woken up and has no makeup on, and the building blocks of the human body. Blood cells, neurons, bones, diagrams, bloody hearts, and the like. Oh yeah, and she's doing all this to Chacarron Macarron. Think of that whenever you see her.

This is vile, isn't it? I'm just embarrassing myself, aren't I? I don't care, I don't care, I don't care xD
