Do you have a crush?

boobaby · Kate Spade

Yes I do. Don't know if I would ever want to pursue, but it makes the day more exciting.

scarlett · Marc Jacobs

I have some celebrity crushes, which probably don't count considering I'll never meet them!

squishy · Coach

i wish i did... *sigh* i'll crush on someone for purely physical reasons, but be turned off the second they open their mouths

Farrah · Marc Jacobs

Not in years...I feel like I look at men differently seeing as how I have been with my BF for so long.

When I was in college though I was always crushing on someone. My friends and I would always refer to our crushes as "my very serious boyfriend." It was funny because most of the time we didn't even know their names. We would just say, "So, I saw my very serious boyfriend on the way to class today. He totally loves me." It cracks me up to think of how many conversations we had like that...good times.

hmm. i always have little crushes on people- romantic possibility is always on my mind- i don't know why. Even in relationships (that i'm really happy in!). Here are some of my crushes now (i don't see any of them on a regular basis):

1) brother of nicholas K designer. so so sooooo cute. he is their male lookbook model. met him in person when i bought some things from him and talked w/him for almost an hour. pretty innocent, but i think he's so cute. i would post their website but it's down right now.

2) someone that works at the PR firm we work with. he is sooo soo cute, kind of softspoken and shy, but total hottie.

3) a boy that went to my hs that was one of the "heartthrobs", even though i never liked him like that. we always had a couple of classes together, but i barely knew him, though i'd been going to school with him for 7 years. ran into him at college a couple of years ago, had a really brief conversation, and now i regularly stalk him on myspace. i'm probably not his "type", but the high schooler in me always wishes i could be!

4) another boy from my hs that lives in the city now. i haven't even seen him for years, he liked me in 4th grade, but after that, we hadn't really talked. he was another "cool" kid (gosh i feel like a middle schooler saying that!). but we've been messaging back and forth on myspace about how we need to meet up, and he's pretty funny and charming.

So, there's a few of them. I saw my exbf last night for a few hours, and that was very intimate and strange, so i almost still have a crush on him. it's hard seeing him be who i wanted him to be all along (he was always a great guy, but now he's much better at communicating), and know that he would want to date me again, yet i'm hesitant. plus i have a "bf" (maybe without the quotes!!) across the country who i'm crazy about and could see myself with. Maybe? It's hard to say since we haven't lived in the same place yet, but i'm really attracted to him and our personalities mesh well. we are pretty serious.

Ahh i sound so boy crazy!! the strange thing is i prefer being alone or single to dating someone because romantic possibilities and new adventures excite me more than being in a couple. But then i fall in love w/someone and i need to explore it

I have an itty bitty one on a guy in one of my classes. We're both in relationships so nothing would ever happen, but I almost get the feeling that the itty bitty crush is mutual. We sit next to each other and talk and he was super duper nice and went the extra mile for me when I was sick and needed notes. I never even really think about us dating or getting together or anything, I just look forward to seeing him in class. I'm actually having a hard time deciding if I have a romantic crush or a friend crush on him.

I rarely get crushes when I'm in a relationship, though. It's like that part of me gets turned off very quickly within the first few weeks of dating someone. So they always really surprise me when they do happen.

ETA: There is guy I used to date who I guess I still have a thing for. We didn't date long enough for me to say that I have unrequited love or anything, but I'm still in that "crush" phase with him. I rarely ever talk to him, though, so it's not really an issue except a few times a year when I talk to him/hear about him

Oh, I crush all the time, though I don't have any at the moment. I am in a very serious relationship and would not jeopardize that, but I think it is okay to crush as long as it stays at that (I guess this may be hard for some people but it has never been hard for me, so I am okay). I do tend to get flirty with these men, and while it is innocent on my part, I know I probably should refrain from that so I don't give anyone the wrong impression.

wetbandit42 · Marc Jacobs

I get crushes all the time. My friends make fun of me for it. Currently I have a crush on my friend (we're not close friends though - we just met this summer) and I'm pretty sure he knows it - he always flirts with me. So far, no progress though.

And I think I get a celebrity crush about once a week. It's bad.

sephorablue · Marc Jacobs

yeah, although--this is the hilarious part--I haven't seen him in a year and a half and really only met him once. We have friends in common. But when I met him I was really intensely attracted to him, despite having a serious boyfriend, and ran around fretting obsessively about it for a week until I told our mutual friends about it and they were all like, "please, he does that to everyone." Totally deflated my little baloon. Even though I know logically that I only still think about him because I've got this idealized vision of him in my head, based on almost nothing real about the actual guy, for some reason I keep thinking about him. He on the other hand probably wouldn't recognize me if he tripped over me.
