How many crushes have you had in your life?

Post Reply New Topic

I have had 5. Anyone having more than 5 crushes?

I will assume a few elementary school flings dont count as they are not serious. I have had 2-3 crushes, all post high school, all eather I had a chance and blew it or never in a million years.

Post highschool would be 3. First was my now ex girlfriend, second was a friend of my ex who I fell in love with while I was still "with" the first, third was someone I met online but we've never been anything more than friends, I think she's amazing tho, maybe oneday

Too many to count. If I just include the strongest, I would not be surprised that it would be well over a few dozen. If I only include those I really connected with personally, then the number drops to as low as three, maybe four.

At least one in high school, maybe two or three.

One when I was an undergrad, although I found her extremely annoying when I first met her. She hasn't changed but somehow it doesn't matter anymore. Unfortunately, she's much younger than I am so I decided not to pursue. (Not that I have a choice, I'm so damn shy.)

And currently, one right now. I thought this last one had given up on me but I found out today that that might not be the case. Unfortunately, I don't know that for a fact. For all I know, she took pity on me today during the Christmas party and decided to say a few words to me to brighten me up. I wish I knew what was in her mind.

like 30. lol. I just tried to count them, but I'm sure I'm forgetting some...

I can think of 7 females I've had a crush on.

My crush feelings are like a light switch - constantly flipping on and off, on and off.

I try and keep the switch off, though. Crushes can easily turn into mild fixations, which is a horrible waste of my attention and energy. Or, I just need to better manage the "grey area" of my feelings.

Crushes come and go frequently for me. I still remember my first crush from first grade. He looked like a baby Leonardo di Caprio.

Only a few...gah..I HATE crushes...they are generally excruciating for my addlepated little ocd brain.....They mess with me hard core...I have almost ruined my life because of them.

I want to find the limerance fairy and smoosh it.

Excluding unhealthy fixations on celebrities, I'd say about three. All during high school

Oh, I'm kind of late, but I've had some. I guess I've had three cute little giggly schoolgirl crushes, four mutual crushes that turned into a real relationship, and one desperate aching unrequited love that is still being worked out. So eight total.

In elementary school I played a psychological game with myself wherein I tried to make myself have crushes, under the impression that this was the "correct" thing to do.
I made myself think about a random boy until it felt more natural. I simulated about four crushes this way.

Once I hit puberty and the innocence was gone, I couldn't even do that. I regressed to "boys are icky." I had a boyfriend at one point (trying to be normal again), but I found the whole business loathesome and rid myself of him as soon as I could.

So, current tally:
Inauthentic: 5
Authentic: 0

I've had more than five crushes. I have at least two right now! To me, crushes are a fun fantasy-type thing. My boyfriend knows about my crushes and he doesn't care--we laugh about it. They're all unavailable anyway (married, living far away, or something similar).

I'm 18 and I've never had a crush. I don't know what to do. There have been a few guys I thought were smart and funny - they were at least the type of guy I would consider dating, and we were not close but friendly with each other in high school. However, I wouldn't call it a crush. I don't like flirting, and I didn't think about them all the time or anything, I just enjoyed hanging out occasionally. I'm attracted to the idea of a boyfriend and sex, but desire neither when I'm in person with someone. I don't know what's wrong with me.
