SweetTart Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I'm curious to see everyone's experiences with "crushing" on people. Were they generally light? Intense? Somewhere in-between? Feel free to comment your thoughts and experiences! Link to post Share on other sites
AcornCarvings Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I'd say I've experienced quite a bunch of crushes/squishes, but I also really loosely define the term as the fluttery attractive feelings I sometimes get for people. Most of those are fleeting and chill, while a few of them are pretty intense and grow as I get to know the people, and a few of them I've acted on and tried to become closer with those people. I have a few pretty big ones right now (some with all of my close people, and also with this really weird and amazing and kinda mysterious and interesting woman on my running team. We play backgammon together on the busses and talk about queer theory and stuff and we sometimes share earbuds ☺️) Link to post Share on other sites
R.. Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Oh jeez, I didn’t realize I had so many past crushes until I tried counting them! I love an innocent crush, honestly Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Two of my crushes were on guys and both didn't last very long and the other two were on girls, one of which lasted for maybe a month and a half and the other is my current relationship so Link to post Share on other sites
4108bn Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I don't know if I can quantify crushes like that. I don't know if I have or haven't, and the whole idea of crushes are still confusing to me. In retrospect, most of them have seemed like friend crushes. So I don't know! Link to post Share on other sites

Lichley Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 7 full on crushes. I dated 4 of them. Link to post Share on other sites
Goonie Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Major crushes that I could see myself actually dating and have gone through what if scenarios on...I think between 6-10. Obviously some were not much of an impact as I'm having a hard time remembering them all Link to post Share on other sites
J. van Deijck Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 like 3 or 4 times in my whole life. Link to post Share on other sites

yellew Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 All the infatuations I define as "crushes" have been incredibly intense. I've had 2 and I identify as allosexual and alloromantic. Link to post Share on other sites
Lemonsky Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I answered 1-10 on the poll. Though it turns out there have actually been even more than that, some stronger than others, but there have been many either way. Link to post Share on other sites
Chloe O'Leary Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I've had one crush on a boy in school I was best friends with which got pretty intense at times! I also had a (sort of) crush on a fellow cadet when I was an Air Cadet. He was possibly the only one in the squadron that I felt I could call a friend. Link to post Share on other sites
Salmiakki Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I don't know. More than 60. I stopped counting. Link to post Share on other sites
QuirkyGeek Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I've had two crushes that were so strange and weak that they might not have been crushes. Link to post Share on other sites

*Ace Rune* Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I have had about 15 crushes. Some were light, some intense and brief and some intense and long lasting and some lasted ages Link to post Share on other sites
Lunala Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Not really. In the past I thought I had crushes, but it turns out they were either squishes or aesthetic attraction. Link to post Share on other sites

RoseGoesToYale Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I think I finally worked it out... one category 4 crush, one category 3, ten category 2, and the other fourteen were category 1. So 26 in total. Link to post Share on other sites

Squirrel Combat Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Well, I have dated or tried to date at least 29 women now, so I would say my crush number is a few more above that. Link to post Share on other sites

This is my classification system: Tropical Storm- aesthetic/sensual only, no romantic feelings Category 1- Happy to see them, some fluttery feelings, a daydream or two Category 2- Specifically look forward to seeing them, several daydreams, fluttery feeling and some nervousness Category 3- Definite nervousness and weakness, going out of your way to see them, consistent daydreaming, self consciousness Category 4- Prolonged nervousness, loss of appetite, difficulty speaking, thinking about them near constantly, inability to get work done, sudden creative outpourings Category 5- Bedridden with feelings, major emotional upheaval, probably a drug-like state Link to post Share on other sites

nineGardens Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Curiosity, "I wonder where this goes", usually followed by "Oh, they have someone already, never mind" x 4ish. "You are cool. I want to be part of this persons story, and see what awesome stuff they get up to and go halves on a baby" x1 Link to post Share on other sites
