How do you get a grip? Grin

I watched a series with a very handsome looking man in and can't stop googling him and looking at pics.

Someone told me off earlier for something and I felt like he was watching me. I felt all embarrassed Blush

I'm a married woman with 2 DC....

But yes, I know what you mean OP. Last gig I went to there was just something about the bassist. Spent ages googling (as not a very well known band) then it faded.

I met my crush on a plane and had a quick fondle in my suite under a blanket. Totally cured it but wasn't bad but more that it was a normal human rather than a super person.

And before you say do tell, it's so unoriginal it's boring.

I’ve a new one at the moment - David Ginola - it’s the voice/accent! One I’ll never ever get over though, Jerome Flynn …. I’ll love that man till long after I’ve left this earth I can tell you Wink

Oi , @Dragondragon, this is highly original. I've never known anyone who had the luck to do as you did! Was it Ralph Fiennes? He's notorious for being naughty on aeroplanes.

I've got a work crush on a delivery driver Xmas Blush He's not my type at all (tattoos and beard) but oh my, he's SO rugged and muscly and manly Shock And he has an accent 🥰 I got major fanny gallops on Thursday when he put his hand over mine as I signed the delivery note Blush

No he was someone who used to be fun but is now a sanctimonious twat. But he did give me his maroon and blue football shirt.

@lookforthespace

Thanks, I didn't know a 'crush' was a thing. Haven't felt so silly about someone since I was about 15 Grin

His name is Park, from Squid Game strangely enough. I wasn't going to watch it but someone said I should, it's good! And I did... then I saw him 😮

For me it is all about Gong yoo! Smile
JimLaheysWhiskeyBottle · 11/12/2021 16:20

Oh yes!! He is absolutely beautiful! 218 is now my favourite number. He gets hotter as you get through the series too.

Leftbutcameback · 11/12/2021 16:31

@grooveonthemove that sounds like it brightened up your day!!

I have a crush IRL on a vet who one of my cats sees fairly regularly for her ongoing condition, he is very fond of her, so much to the point that at her visit a few weeks ago he cuddled her in his arms like a baby and my ovaries exploded 😍😍

fedup65356 · 11/12/2021 16:40

Should have mentioned it's something I've never told anyone about and always act normal in front of him.

This is just going to give the OP hope that she too can have a fumble with the object of her affections one day Grin
Waxonwaxoff0 · 11/12/2021 16:46

I get it all the time, as a single parent who has been celibate for a while it's a nice bit of escapism! Doesn't affect my daily life so I just go with it.

Ew is it Lawrence Fox?

BamberGascoine · 11/12/2021 16:49

Sorry that was meant for @Draggondragon

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 11/12/2021 16:51

I develop awful crushes. Rare, but deep! My crushes seem to be late aged 20’s into 30’s, always have been. Inappropriate as an 11 to 14 year old, equally inappropriate as a 50+. I keep very quiet about my crushes, so embarrassing. Always celebrities, never anyone I know.

MintyCedric · 11/12/2021 16:52

Richard Armitage and Tom Burke as Cormoran Strike.

I just roll with it!

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 11/12/2021 16:54

@EBearhug

At least it's just TV. I have a work crush.
God me too. It’s very distracting, both delightfully and distressingly. I’ve been married forever, with teen/preteen children. At least he’s my age and not a youngster graduate! That would be weird.
BillywigSting · 11/12/2021 16:55

I have a phenomenal crush irl on the very handsome Italian barista in the coffee shop in my city centre. Doesn't help that the feeling appears to be mutual as he slipped me his number on my recepit with my coffee a few weeks ago.

I am not single and have a dc but he is beautiful, and has very nice hands

EBearhug · 11/12/2021 17:16

Oh my work crush is my age, too. And looks quite good on Zoom.

Sundancerintherain · 11/12/2021 17:31

@Draggondragon Russell Brand by any chance ? Wink

Mmmmdanone · 11/12/2021 17:45

I'm so jealous of all you crushers! I want one! Last time I had a really intense crush was about 15 years ago (a bus driver) and it felt so good.
I quite liked the lead actor in squid game but wouldn't call it intense. I suspect I'm past it 😭😭😭😭

BrightonOrLancaster · 11/12/2021 18:00

Can we talk about how fucking perfect this man is?

I defy anyone to come on here and tell me they wouldnt
