To have an enormous crush on an 80s popstar

[auldspinster]

I'm 41, he's 67(!?!), but i'm obsessed, want to write florid fanmail and am watching you tube clips of him all the time. Talk about undignified .

[Birdsgottafly]

I don't know whether it's a pre Menopause thing, tbh.

I went through a similar thing and so have most of the Women, who I've confessed to, around your age.

[Peridotisinvalid]

Can't you tell us who it is, so that we can judge you?

[BlunderWomansCat]

Go on, tell us who it is

[Toooldtobearsed]

My bet is David Essex

Buy a poster and sellotape it to your ceiling, get a diary with a lock and write him love letters every night.

You will grow out of it, you know. I did! i was fourteen and it was NOT David Essex, it was someone much, much worse

[Peridotisinvalid]

Toooldtobearsed I thought David Essex too, but when I checked his age I found that he's 68.

[Mrsraypurchase]

Who is it? Can we have a clue? It's not Bryan Ferry as he's 70 now.

[sleepwhenidie]

Sorry OP, unless you tell us who it is we can't tell if YABU

[Mrsraypurchase]

Oh God. Lionel Richie is 67...

[DesolateWaist]

I cannot comment unless you say who it is.

[Toooldtobearsed]

Nooooo, it cannot be Lionel Richie. Op would never admit to that, surely?

[DJBaggieSmalls]

Its either Lionel Ritchie or Ted Nugent.

[auldspinster]

It's John Foxx, original singer of Ultravox so pop star is maybe stretching it although he had a few solo top 40 hits.

[Toooldtobearsed]

Well, he got better as he got older.

Is it as he us now, or as he was then?

Hormones. The answer to everything. You WILL grow out of it eventually😆

[liz70]

Thought 67 was a bit old for an 80s star - more 70s surely.

DH is a fan but he doesn't have a crush on him.

[squoosh]

Is this a sudden onset crush? I doubt he's had a soppy fan letter in a while. I say write to him and make his day.

[squoosh]

I've had a google. Yes, he's got something about him.

[sleepwhenidie]

yess...something quite gnomelike about him squoosh

Sorry OP, I'm in the YABU camp!

[liz70]

Go hunt him down on FB.

[auldspinster]

As he is now. I liked his music for a while ans thought he was gorgeous when he was young but I had a rather erotic dream about him as he is now a couple of weeks ago and it's precipitated this situation.

[Mrsraypurchase]

Ah, John Foxx (real name Dennis!!)

yes, very nice.

[Mrsraypurchase]

Feel the need to sing Underpass now.

[EmmaWoodlouse]

Its either Lionel Ritchie or Ted Nugent.

Ted Nugent would probably shoot you if he heard you'd called him "pop".

[IggyPopsicle]

Meh, he's not my cup of tea but I can hardly judge, seeing as I once had a crush on Des O'Connor after having a rather erotic dream about him.

[auldspinster]

I don't need to do the signature practicing thing cos his real surname is the same as my given one.

[squoosh]

I was going to laugh Iggy and then I remembered my HD sex dream about Terry Wogan.
