Well, not like _I_ have one… but if I did… everyone calls him Johnny and I think he’s from LA… could be Los Angeles or could be he’s a Lazy Ass… dunno. But for Goddess sake don’t TELL him I have a crush on him; I’d be so embarrassed I would just die! I know by posting it in here he’ll never know… 😉

So, who do YOU have a crush on?

I had/have one on one of the women where I work. Thank god she does not work in my department. I kept inviting her over to hang out with me and just do stuff but nothing intimate, just movies and whatnot and finally she asked me if I “liked her?”.

I almost threw up. I’m nearly 30, she’s just turned 20, she works with me, I haven’t been on a real date in two years since my engagement collapsed and I have it pointed out to me that I have a “crush”. I was and am completely mortified. That was half the reason I voulinteerd for taking over the graveyard operations. This, more than anything else demonstrated to me that I am in no condition to date.

Do a search of my posts. It’s pretty damned obvious.  
Hell, do a search of my posts in the last 72 hours, and you’ll get most of them.

I have a crush on this gorgeous punk guy who works in the city…he’s got like, multiple lip rings, multiple eyebrow piercings, about 6 earrings…mmmm…he’s gorgeous in that Sid Vicious kinda way…unfortunately I’m too shy to talk to him, and he’s only ever caught me perving on him. Le sigh. He probably wouldn’t like me, anyways.

Being a good, married woman I certainly don’t have a crush on anyone. Nope, not me. That would be wrong. And I most certainly do not have crush on someone I met here…nope, once again, not me. I never daydream about hopping in my car and driving 1100 miles to see that person, um… I mean if there _was_ a person…no, that would be terrible…

Wow. Wish broken doll would perv on me! i’m not actually sure exactly what it means but from the sound of it i would think it would be rather enjoyable.

on a side note Broken, he’d have to be blind not to like you. I’ve said it before and I will probably say it again. DAMN YOU’RE CUTE!

Who knows? If you weren’t 17, and halfway across the world, and if I werent engaged…  
hmmmmm seemes like a lot of obstacles actually, nevermind 🙂

What’s a crush?

Not like I’d admit it if I did. I have a reputation to uphold on the SDMB.

Oh, god. DO I have crushes? My, my. In no particular order:  
**dpr,** because he had me at “G’day”  
**scratchie,** because he’s SCRATCHIE, ferchrissakes  
**Morphy,** duh and duh again  
**Nen,** because EVERYONE needs a married man to lust over. Mad props to your wife for jumping on that shit with both feet.  
**Froggy,** because he was my first. Also, see **Nen** above  
**Rasa,** because she’s insane. Literally and figuratively 🙂  
And I think I’ll have a crush on **Silver,** just to fit in with the rest of the crowd. 😃

Father forgive me, for I have harboured lust in my heart. Now if I could just act some of it out…

I must add that I get a crush at least once every time I’m in chat. All you people just crack me up. Nothing is sexier than a sense of humour. Plus, you’re ALL beautiful in my mind.

Crushes? Me??? Nope nope nope nope. Especially not on a certain member of the Air Force. And ESPECIALLY not on one stationed in North Dakota. Nope. No crushes here.

Sigh. That’s the problem with having a crush on **dpr**. _Everybody_ has a crush on him. I just find the “Dread Pirate Roberts” thing unbearably sexy. Sigh.

I also have a huge crush on someone IRL, but he’s married. Rats.

Hey, look! I actually made a list! Woo-hoo!

My crushes:  
**Nymysys** - even _before_ I saw her pic.  
**Silly Rabbit** - my new favorite newbie  
**Falcon** - you gotta love a woman who loves football and hates the Cowboys. (but, um, sweetie, don’t you mean ex-memeber of the AF, and BTW I was never stationed in North Dakota) 😉  
**Silver Fire** - back off, she’s mine!  
**little\*bit** - hell, I virtually married this one!  
**Tally-Ho** - just check out some of the things she does in those party threads!

I’ll be back when I have more time. There’s some work to actually be done at work today. Go figure.

Yes, but they tend to end, badly.  
It’s the old foot-in-mouth disease that gets me I guess.

I also don’t figure out it’s useless until I’ve humiliated myself somehow.

I’ll omit my list to protect the innocent

There’s this guy at school I’ve been…having a crush on for over a year now…no wait. Not a crush. More like an obsession, an infatuation, made up of lots of gushy orgasm-y once in a lifetime lust. 🙂 Scary, ain’t it?

But here? I have a soft spot for Gunslinger and his sexy hat, and now that Racinchikki’s out of the way, I can score…kidding!  
I like Jester, but I fear his heart belongs to someone else.  
And I **know** that Ad Noctum- Adam- has a crush on me. He knows it too. He just doesn’t KNOW he knows it yet.

Ok… I made my post before caffiene injestion. So cryptic and… slanted!

To clarify:

**oldscratch** : words fail me here. He knows.  
**Nen** : because truth is beauty. Also, see **Nymysys** above. Mad props to **lilah**.  
**Tymp** : for having erotic dreams about me, without even knowing it.  
**Nymysys** : I want to be you when I grow up. You’re beautiful, babe! And you have amazing taste in men. 😉  
**zyzzyva** : my first and oldest cyber-crush. I love you, man!

And for the record, **Euty** means that I know who he has a crush on. Not that he has a crush on me. ☹ Oh well. I’ll have to try harder. 😉

What’s with the denials, folks? We’ve had these kinds of threads before, and it’s a pretty safe assumption that pretty much everybody pretty much has a crush on pretty much everyone else.

Or is that just me?

My biggest cruch o’ the moment, though, is for a certain poster who shall remain unnamed. I’ll give you a hint, though–he’s an Aging Rock Star who is currently employed as a sex therapist. 😃
