Her name is Laura, but I have no idea how she feels about me and I haven't got the stones to ask her, for fear both of rejection and changing her opinion of me in a negative way. Also I have $1.62 to my name so I'm not in any financial position to be dating anyone.

I'm so sad and lonely... haha... *cries self to sleep*

Her name is Jaclynn and I shall ask her out when we go to the movies (I have no idea how I managed to get her to say yes to that) sometime within the next two weeks.

Mine's name is Thomas. He is so cute and amazing and wonderful and perfect and the best.

This is so fun!

And kind of meaningless! But still fun!

Well, since everyone else knows already...
Ari. That girl is damned perfect in my eyes. She's been my best friend for some time, and I fell for her almost a year ago.

Usually because you aren't actually in a relationship with the person. It's someone you like, but can't approach, for one reason or another.

Oh, I'd like to add two to my list.

Bob. Hot as fuck, and totally dating my best friend. Damnit!

Julie. Sexy, bisexual, and dating my (male) friend... until she cheated on him with my girlfriend at the time. Yeah.
I'm starting to think that I should start a thread about the sexual misadventures of our friends here at the Escapist. XD

...I might actually do that. You'll play, right? XD

I've had several crushes over the years, but one I chased for a few years before finally stopping for both of our sanity's and our friendship's sake. Her name was Ellen.

Since I've met my current gf though, Kayla, I haven't really had any crushes. Not unless you count the fleeting, "Well, she's pretty." thoughts/comments as crushes. I'm kind of weird like that though. When I have a gf, I don't really consider other girls that way. I might think that they're awesomely attractive, but I don't really crush on them. Ruins porn for me though.

If you had asked me an hour ago, I would have said Amber. But now, I have to admit that my crush is also my rival in wits, in opinion, in everything. Her name? Sami.

Rémy.

He is my mancrush. I would cuddle him. But, like, in a totally heterosexual way. It would be a brocuddle.
In July I am going to go see him and we will have a really gay old time I mean happy I mean gay but as in happy.

I am not a homosexual.

(Also I have a genuine thing going on with a girl named Heather. Shh don't tell anyone shhh.)

The last crush I had was with a girl from New-Zealand called Marieke, but that was 10 years ago. I really haven't had a crush on anyone in the last decade. Which is very odd since I'm a hopeless romantic.

Not saying, it's someone on this website. It should be gone by now. Is getting crushes on internet strangers unreasonable or uncommon?

It's quite silly. I keep in mind that no-one is likely to be perfect no matter how much brain chemicals try to trick you, that there are other people, that relationships resulting from infatuation are statistically more likely to fail (although I don't know anymore if that's a reason not to try), and all of those other reasonable, level-headed things that downplay crushes. I'm also jaded about long distance relationships. Yet I continue to repeatedly view this person's profile and think about them (well, the image of them I formed in my mind) too much. I rationalised that it wasn't incredibly creepy because it's arguably similar to developing an affection for an actor, a fictional character, or a columnist. In a way it might just be better to confess so I can change somehow rather than continue with a vague hope that we'll meet naturally against all odds (but then I could feel I've dug myself into a hole by having to admit to being a weird secret admirer some time ago) or try to be friends, but maybe it's best to do nothing and let it fade with time.

It's really so subjective that it's impossible to really tell. I think it's whether you define it as a crush as opposed to being in love.

OT: I have no true crushes at the moment, but I suppose you could say I was interested in a couple of girls. I don't attend school at the moment for reasons that shall not be mentioned for the sake of not completely derailing the thread, so it's pretty meaningless as I don't really see any of them.
The reason why I had inquired the definition of crush and compared it to love is to understand whether it applies to a mere attraction or if it has to be a stronger feeling toward them. This is because it is not uncommon for people to have an attraction toward many others based on their physical appearance. I personally could admire the physical beauty of various girls but I don't think I would consider this admiration as a crush. Frankly I'm confused on the whole notion and don't know how to constitute a crush, having not felt a strong attraction toward anyone for a long time to the point that I've pretty much forgotten how it feels.

I understand that it's subjective, but I was sort of hoping for a definition or an opinion discerning or comparing the two.
It was sort of the same for me but the other way around. What does being strongly physically attracted to someone feel like, is it just being turned on around them? How can you want to even hug them if you don't like them emotionally on some level? Is it the "chemistry" of being around them, with liking the way they look?

It took me a while to understand what it is to actually feel love for people, as in a feeling that wasn't a crush. I never understood the desire to hug family or friends until recently. It's making me wonder if I ever confused different kinds of love in the past by falling for people because I felt sorry for them. I don't think I know/knew what love is in the fullest sense.

You aren't the only one who can't see a difference - most teenagers commonly confuse one for the other.

I'd look at a crush as a fleeting, inquisitive interest in someone, as opposed to seeing them as your sole route to happiness and long-term fulfillment.
Do you think a crush is different to limerence or infatuation? I only just learned of the term "limerence", I'm not assuming you don't know what it is, but in case you don't:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limerence

Not even the Greek words "eros, agape, and philos" really cover it. Would an asexual crush on someone be considered eros? I'm not asexual but I never naturally looked at attractive men and wanted to have sex with them, although I could admire them like a pretty painting and maybe develop a crush on them as I'd associate personality traits with their demeanor and appearance. My friends would be drooling over some magazine cutout of a really ripped guy and I'd be like "I don't get it". Maybe I'm just more touch-oriented and have forgotten how it feels (except hugs, I always wanted hugs, but I hadn't kissed anyone since I was eight or nine and obviously that wouldn't have been the same).

My crush is a complete stranger!! and I believe it was love at first sight because i have never seen anyone more beautiful in my entire life,yet.
But I found out her name--And went ahead and told her i liked her! no introductions,no mutual friends,caught her one day in my college hallway and blurted it out!!
It was the Stupidest thing I have done in my life!!

Anyways ...she then just walked away and has been avoiding me since(...duh)...:(

Her name is Jaya btw
