I like to think that all the women in my yoga class can’t get me out of their heads. So far as I know, this turns out not to be the case.
The various times in my life that women have crushed on me, it has been awkward as hell.
Shagnasty,
That’s not a crush. That’s an extremely unhealthy obsession.
I don’t think it is unhealthy to have a crush on someone. To me, a crush is more like an infatuation that you can control as opposed to an obsession that causes you to be uncontrollable.
I don’t know of anyone who has a crush on me currently, but I have had a few in my day, usually teen girls who were much younger than me. They were all innocent and I was flattered.
My SO’s 4 year-old nephew has a crush on me.
I’ve usually never been able to tell, unless a woman says “Hey stupid, let’s do it!” At my present age, I’m pretty sure that there are none.
I shaved my head (as in, with a blade) for the first time last week and I can tell that some of my previously totally platonic female friends are sort of reappraising. I’m happily married, so I won’t be testing the limits of this new look anytime soon.
Many years ago, a creative writing teacher told me to avoid using a phrase too many times in one short piece of fiction.
It’s been at least a decade since anyone has had a crush on me. 
But the last one I know of was very sweet. My older son had a friend who had an older brother. He was 18, I think, a high school senior at the time. For whatever reason, he developed a crush on me. He’d come over, sit on the front porch and talk with me as long as I’d let him. Sometimes he’d bring me a flower or a pretty leaf or something along those lines. It was all very innocent and lasted through the summer until he left for college. My husband thought it was hilarious and teased me unmercifully about my admirer.
No one that I know of. But according to my email, people are trying background checks on me every day!
I’m not very good a reading people - I tend to take things at face value, so it’s entirely possible that I’ve been the object of crushes and had no clue. Not likely, but possible.
Me too, except without the smooth, suave, and charming parts.
I am told by someone at church that one of the young ladies there has a crush on me. I know the girl, who is very nice and cute in a sort of gawky, seventeen-year-old way, but I am old enough to be her grandfather as well as happily married and desirous of staying out of prison. So I avoid being alone with her, make sure I don’t treat her differently from anyone else, and so on. (She serves on a committee of which I am a member.)
It’s like that - if she is crushing on me, there has got to be something wrong with her.
Hopefully her tastes will improve with age.
Regards,
Shodan
I’m pretty certain Goldie Hawn regrets that we never hooked up.
Every woman I meet. They think I can’t tell, because they’re so good at hiding it— but I know, you little minxen.
For this one, I’m crushing on you for the next five minutes.
Aw, shucks. :o
Ah, the five-minutes crush. Big Brother really has gotten soft, hasn’t he?
Too late.
I’m a high school teacher and have a lot of personality (though not really physically attractive). At any given time, there are kids who are some degree of fascinated with me. They are usually kind of “mom” crushes, not romantic at all. I think this is pretty normal for teachers.
I think of them as adorable and harmless. I’ve never worried anyone would actually make a pass or something. I HAVE worried about someone being crushingly disappointed when I do something that reveals I am an ordinary person.
A cleaning lady who takes the bus in each morning to clen and babysit for a neighbor. Whenever she sees me in the yard working she always comes over to say high and if she is early I have coffee with her. I notice latey she is early more and more often. She has been getting a bit more touchy feely lately, nothing what I would call making a sexual advancement but pinching my cheeks, giving me a hug when she leaves things like that. I can feel some sexual tension going on and I really am not available but have to admit I am enjoying it a bit.
Beats the hell out of me…
I have a friend who works as a life assistant to adult special needs people. She helps them with bills, check books, insurance things like that. Several of them have developed obsessions with her that have really gotten out of hand and even physical on more than one occassion. She ended up quitting her job it got so bad.
Well, my first HS girlfriend probably does. She dumped me just after I graduated and was preparing to head out of state to college. She is a year younger than me. 20 years later we encountered each other on FB and met up when I was back home to visit my sister. It turns out that I was NOT supposed to just accept being dumped. Have I mentioned that in addition to being a really sweet lady, she’s a bag of crazy? So, apparently, I was the one that got away. And you know how time makes the one that got away look like the biggest loss. She told me how she befriended a complete stranger in HS just because that girl had a locker next to mine. And how she would sprint across school in every morning just to “happen by” my locker. But none of that is really that weird. Just normal HS level infatuation. It was after graduation, that the crazy started to show. She would go miles out of her way to drive past my house even though it meant going into a cul-de sac. And, of course, I was away at college in another state. This is all stuff she confessed 20 years after the fact.
Any time I’ve texted or FB messaged with her since we re-encountered each other, it’s been pretty obvious that she would be happy to start a long term relationship.
So it’s weird to think that to somebody, I’m that desirable. Especially since I’ve spent my life being ignored by those that I would like to hang with.
