Weird crush on someone. Feeling sad. Tell me about your crushes?

They don't exist in 'real life'! He's a musician.. he performed at Glastonbury. I've liked his work since the very beginning but was never really a fan until recently.
After his Glastonbury set I kind of felt.. like a teenager. It didn't really occur to me that I have a crush 😅 but he's so sweet and lovely. I went through his whole instagram 🫣 eek.. it's been years since I had a crush, but I used to have them a lot. (I've always thought I'm ND but never been diagnosed)

I googled his wife briefly and I wasn't expecting it to be her... she was in an obscure indie band about 15 years ago, my ex fancied her and had her album.. 😢 he said she looked a bit like me. I guess I'll take that! I mean I don't still look like I did in 2010 and I doubt she does either. But when I discovered it was her I kind of sobbed for a while, pathetic in a way but it didn't release some emotion.

Has anyone had a weird crush? Feeling kind of sad and lonely. Must stop thinking and comparing myself to his wife! I suppose I can forgive myself, I am going through a stressful time and I had a horrible call with occupational health at work this week (more sobbing!) but still it's annoying..

Please don't laugh at me 😬

Neil Young?

Wavescrashingonthebeach · 05/07/2025 17:26

Who was it?

I once developed a crush on the dancer from a music video. The crazy thing is hes an absolute sweaty mess and quite clearly meant to be off his head but just something about his dancing and demeanour did it for me!!!

CalicoPusscat · 05/07/2025 17:27

Well it can be quite nice having a crush can't it? As long as not obsessive!

SoManyDandelions · 05/07/2025 17:32

I love having a random crush! Who is it OP?

JudgeBread · 05/07/2025 17:35

God I get weird crushes all the time. I think it's pretty normal surely (although some of the people I've had crushes on are apparently questionable)

You didn't actually sob over his wife though did you?

Hatty65 · 05/07/2025 17:37

I always have random crushes on slightly odd people, but they don't make me sad. I find intelligence and humour most attractive.

I tell DH that if I remarried it would be to Paul Laidlaw (Bargain Hunt) perhaps. Not a classic 'hunk' by any means. (I believe he's happily married, but if we are both widowed at the same time perhaps he'd like to give me a call...)

I currently have a crush on a nice man I spoke to at a stall. I tell myself he was secretly crushing on me too. Not because its true but because it makes me happy.

Fantasy crushes like these should be harmless fun. It sounds like yours no longer is.. Your real issue is the underlying issues that are making you unhappy, and it sounds like you have identified these.

its annoying trying to find a name of someone from a music video, I’ve had this too lol

SillyOP · 05/07/2025 17:40

Would it be ‘outing’ if you said the name 😅

I managed to find it! His name is Harry Parr. In the Regard- Ride It video.

Wavescrashingonthebeach · 05/07/2025 17:41

Funnily enough I dont fancy him on photos, only that music video.

I can be like that with Tom Hardy too. On photos nothing, but the second I see him acting (or doing the cbeebies bedtime story!) Im mush hahahaha

FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee · 05/07/2025 17:41

Lewis. I hope it’s Lewis.

simsbustinoutmimi · 05/07/2025 17:42

Oh I like Lewis Capaldi, no judgement if it’s him 🤣

bestcatlife · 05/07/2025 17:43

@JudgeBread No didn't cry over his wife! Just got emotional when I realised who she was and the fact my ex had a thing for her. Suppose I wished I was her for a second.. (not in a genuine way)

My daughter’s key worker……he’s not even that attractive! There’s just something about him…..

bestcatlife · 05/07/2025 17:44

@SillyOP it might be outing. 🫣 plus it's a bit embarrassing as he's maybe not conventionally attractive. (I seem to think he's cute).

Thank God for that. He's repulsive 😂

@GirlPolo I get it, I'm drawn to him.

I can't talk, my crush is George Clooney as Seth Gecko in From Dusk Till Dawn which I first saw about 30 years ago and still lust over.
Also very much in love with Gene Hunt, especially when he's carrying Bolly out of the freezer.

NooNakedJacuzziness · 05/07/2025 17:46

Does his partner come from Greece, does she have a thirst for knowledge? 👀
