You know having a crush is not the same as being in love.

Today, I'm having three crushes (real people, no celebs), I'm probably in love with someone with whom it just won't work out, and I will always have a place in my heart for the one who got away, more than 20 years ago.

Tomorrow I'm off of work and school, so I'm planning to drop a crush or two but pick up several more

I've had 3 major crushes on people who were unavailable.

Luckily, I had a great relationship with my biggest crush of all.

Never counted. But many, many.

Quite a few. Only a few stick out. Maybe my crush on them has more to do with the fantasy of who I think they are, or hope to be?

I don't want to take away from the OP, but I'm interested in this concept.

How many times does a 'crushee' acknowledge the 'crusher', and a how often does it develop into a relationship? Or, do most real crushes go unrequited?

Most do not progress...that's the nature of a crush...but yeah....sometimes they go to the next step...lol....even with celebrity crushes a time or two.

Not so much a crush as when one is younger (i.e. inordinate amount of time thinking about them) but a solid desire for what character, physical, and other qualities all rolled into one they seem to convey to me.

Like the brunette teller at one bank branch I frequent (more so now) with the mesmerizingly beautiful green eyes or the young co-ed in line in front of me this past weekend. Light natural redhead with some freckles, I don't think she had any makeup on, a slight upturned nose, cute face, knowing eyes, gymnast /dancer body (she was wearing shorts) and after she noticed I was admiring her while we both waited in line - and commiserated about the two tellers being both preoccupied with other customers for over 15 minutes - she did that catlike morning stretch with her arms over her head to show her full form in all its loveliness like a water fountain nymph sculpture.

Now today I saw a stunner in blue dress that I instantly fancied. She was walking south to north on main thoroughfare. I was walking west to east. She apparently was coming from the deluxe hotel and apartments celebs live at, and with the NBA finals in town I could only surmise she was someone's wife/ gf / rental for the evening. Simply stunning brunette, about 6'2 in heels and all woman. Wow, I fancied that .... for a fleeting moment and it was just as lovely as she was walking away from me.

I fancy a lot when the population I deem worthy of fancying crosses my path.
And I derived vicarious pleasure reading your post. Love your command on the subject matter.

I have no idea. But the number of annual crushes has declined as I have gotten older!
