carhill Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Real life, eh.... Something from the past squirted back tonight and the clarity of it all, to me, put it in crush-land.... There I was, pretty much blown up on ale, dancing from bar to bar in what was a wild week in Australia at the Tamworth music festival, then somehow I was drawn to a particular sound, the sound of a fiddle madly playing away. I mean, there were bands playing everywhere and thousands of people but somehow I was drawn to this little corner of the festival and once I got to the source I was just stopped in my tracks. I mean, this was a Aussie festival, not some commercial production like here in America, and the musos and the audience mingled and enjoyed each other like one big party. One could sit and talk with the performers and I remember sitting on the back step of one theater talking to an old guy smoking a cigarette and holding some award he had just received inside for best 'something' of the year and it was just talking about life. Anyway, back to the crush, there she was, a good decade younger than , and to this day I have no problem remembering her name and her dimples. Rachel was her name and boy could she play a mean fiddle. Still can and time has treated her well. Gotta love life's memories. Very few women have remained in my memory but that's one. It might not meet the muster of 'crush' as defined by others but that's about as close to one as I can get. 1

E-Squared Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Well, I did somewhat have a crush on a female GameStop employee, but I haven't seen her in more than two months. She is cool, and I try not to mistake her behavior when serving me as interest towards me. I try to keep my eyes open on how she carries herself. I would not mind pursuing anything, though I am sure that she may have been hit on by male customers before. Also, there is someone who I have liked for a while, but I never really sealed the deal with her. I mostly tried testing the waters with her and we do talk. However, I need to actually tell her that I want to see if there is anything between us. 1

armchair200 Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Yes I have a very strong crush on an older female work colleague for about a year now. I am 35 and she is 58. More than likely she is aware of it by now even though I have not directly told her how I felt. I am not that hopeful that anything will come of it. It is probably not a good idea that anything should come of it. I have kept alot of distance from her and done my part to discourage any exclusive activites between us. That means no sharing candy, no getting together outside of work to meet up for drinks, nothing. Still not a day nor hour goes by when I don't think about her. I don't even look at her these days. If anything I turn my head away when I see her coming in my direction.

armchair200 Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Why are you not hopeful that something will come of whatever is going on between you and this crush? Because I think if we were to start a relationship it would be short lived like 1 month. It also raises a red flag why a woman her age is single. Why isn't she with other guys her age? Those are things that need to be investigated. More than likely she isn't with anyone else now as she throws subtle hints about how she would like to go bowling but has nobody to go with. Also when friends invite her to go to the bar she claims she is not into that. That's an opportunity for her to meet lots of men.

You are skeptical of her and what she's about. Gotta love guys like you...they meet someone ok, and it scares them so much taht they wanna put her through 21 questions - yet when some manipulator and/or town ho comes blowing smoke up their butt, they eat it up like they were starving. Guys like you that get duped/played deserve every bit of it...I'm sure she can find someone else who can appreciate what she has to offer and leave you to pull out your Sherlock Homes magnifying glass to clown around all the rest of your life. And how the heck can you "investigate" this woman if you're not dating her? When you date someone is when you get to spend time with them and see their family, job, how they handle things, etc...This "investigation" can take 1 1/2 to 2 years to complete. And no, it's not the same as spying on her online, following her around, being her co-worker and/or friend...cuz, someone is not gonna show their romantic side/feelings etc for you in those circumstances. Oh, who cares, why do I bother...your "investigation" is just another excuse to cover your fears and insecurities. Next week it'll be a terminal illness or moon spots or signs from angels.
Summer_Nights82 Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 I have to chime in on this one. I have a huge crush on one of my neighbors. It's been about a year. The man is beautiful inside and out. I got as far as getting his number, then texted him while I was in the elevator! Great thought on my part lol! Never knew if the text went through and I'm way too shy now to ask him. Saw him with a girl around Valentines and haven't seen any girl around since.... Sigh.......
craw Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Yes, I have a ridiculous bad crush on a guy who lives far away from me and come to think of it - not even remotely interested in me. I was travelling, we met at a couchsurfing event, yeah he is a nice looking guy - I kinda said hello and didn't think much of it. We ended having couple of dinners together. I almost regret not kissing him. Just to be able to connect and reflect on that moment. Unfortunately, I have had mostly bad experiences when I have made the first move on a guy and have stopped doing it. That and I have no self control. I try to forget about him, many times he pops up in my mind, he used to appear in my dreams. He also sent me a postcard - which I thought was the most romantic thing ever. He did call me friend in the postcard, but holy f*k, I was so smitten. Yeah, there are many souls we connect to, but I really feel like this guy is the only one for me.
Gloria25 Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 **pffft** This recent experience of a "crush" now has put a bad taste in my mouth...I will never give anyone the time of day from this point forward if they address me as a "crush" and/or consider me their "crush". Just the mere mention of the word "crush" makes me feel like I got a taste of castor oil and I make up my face in the most God awful frown to express my disgust. "Crushes" are idolizations of people you barely know and will never materialize to anything beyond what you built up your hopes on and/or built them up to be. A freakin' waste of time and energy to me. Ever hear the saying like 'It's better to have loved and loss rather than not experience love at all'? Well to me a "crush" is like chicken pox, not even worth getting it and think all the crap it put you through was worth it cuz guess what? When you become a senior citizen, it probably will come back in the form of Shingles and you went through all the itching and blistering as a kid for nothing . 1
