Guy I work with from time to time. Never met him. He’s in Georgia; I’m in Ohio. We always have such nice, mildly flirty conversations. Sadly, he’s married and has kids.

I think we both forget we have this crush (it’s clearly mutual). And then we talk again and are pleasantly reminded.

I have long-term celebrity crushes on [Hugh Jackman](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0413168/) and [John Hannah](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001314/).

In real life I have a sort-of crush on a co-worker, who _was_ in the process of getting a divorce but now seems to be reconciling with his wife. Sigh.

I guess if they’re thinking of it as the person they get all fluttery about and can’t wait to see…People who continue to feel that giddy about their spouse, good for them!

Why is it that when I have a crush I always screw up around them?? Or is it just that I notice that I mess up because of the crush. Of course The Guy has to come into the breakroom just when I am cleaning up a big klutzy coffee spill :o And he has to be walking behind me when I stumble and look like a goof. :mad: These are the kinds of things that help me get over crushes! The klutziness mounts to a point where it’s too nervewracking and uncomfortable to keep investing in the crush and I can move on.

President Clinton and a 22 year old student here at work. He’s got a real cute accent and an almost courtly way of greeting me. I’m a married 42 year old office lady.

There’s this cute little redhead that works in the MedEvac building, right behind our ‘hardback’, and darn if she ain’t all that.

But dammit, she’s a sergeant. :smack:

I had a dream the other night about a guy I dated in high school, and now I have a nostalgia crush! I actually have fluttery stomach feelings about someone I haven’t seen or really thought of in fifteen years, and will most likely never see again. How weird is that?

Heh, never thought of that. Fortunately it’s pronounced differently.

“Replace the word ‘kind-of’ with the word ‘repeatedly’, and the word ‘dog’ with ‘son’.”

🆒

Not weird (I hope, since I still have a crush on a guy from college I haven’t seen since then ~15 years. He kissed me once but we were both seeing other people so I was scrupulous and didn’t go further than that. :mad: Every time I get the alumni mag I look for announcements about him getting hitched since he is the last of my historical crushes. It will be nice to move on!)

There simply isn’t a more beautiful woman on the planet than [Melissa Theuriau](http://www.i-am-bored.com/bored_link.cfm?link_id=12612).

There may be women that are **as** beautiful, but none more.

In my rich and varied fantasy life, Helen Hunt. I just have to hear her name and I swoon. In my complicated and tawdry personal life, a woman who lives in Savannah, Georgia. She brilliant, beautiful, accomplished, I can make her laugh and she stands up to my overbearing arrogance. It’s a hard, hard crush.

Ioan Gruffudd? Indeed yes, and you are to be commended on your impeccable taste.

My backup crushee would be Cillian Murphy, wearing Jonathan Crane’s specs.
