Does anyone else have stupid 'crushes' which suddenly take over their every thought?

[AnIdiot]

I've been single for about a year after splitting up with my cheating H. I've not felt any slight desire to meet anyone else yet. Not because I'm not 'over' my ex, I just can't be bothered with the faff.

A few days ago I noticed on Facebook that an old friend that I almost had a thing with 20+ years ago split up with his wife a few months ago.

Now I've spent the last couple of days imagining us getting together etc and wondering what he would think about this or that, stupid schoolgirl stuff really! I'm embarrassed with myself 😄

I'm sure if I actually saw him in person I wouldn't be interested. And I wouldn't want to go out with someone straight out of a long marriage anyway!

It's so stupid!

So pathetic that no one will even justify it with a response!

Why not give him a call?

Hi OP! I will take pity on you and offer some solidarity. Presumably you haven’t had any ‘action’ for a while? My subconscious tends to do this as a way of reminding me that my sex life is nonexistent 😂
I think as long as you know enough about your body to understand that’s what it is - rather than something ‘real’ iyswim - then you might as well just enjoy the fantasy ...

Oh yes, I had a crush on my DC's PE teacher for a long time. Embarassing. Luckily he left as I was sure he could tell when I picked them up from sports clubs.

Oh yeah, lots of people get obsessive crushes.

Fewer are in the lucky position you may be in... where you can actually do something with it. If he's still single, why not just go for it?

Agree with @TheHighestSardine and @NataliaOsipova there is nothing to be lost by calling or messaging him.
