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 😬

Who is it and who is the wife?

Although more curious about the wife tbh!

@NooNakedJacuzziness 😂😂 I admire Jarvis but he's not for me. I might watch the replay - I didn't catch Pulp

Bayou2000 · 05/07/2025 17:50

I’m not gonna lie, I skimmed the OP.

Clearly not Lewis even though I wouldn’t blame op if it was!

I think I'm in peri (I'm 41) so not sure that's helping.

Oh, we carry on having crushes long after the menopause.

Marko Purisic, aka Baby Lasagna who came second in Eurovision last year. I messaged with him privately for a while last summer. Don’t know how it came about really. He’s far too young for me 😁

Wavescrashingonthebeach · 05/07/2025 17:47

Fatboy Slim?

My guess too

@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).

Pack it in no one has a clue who you are 😅

bestcatlife · 05/07/2025 18:36

Oh my gosh @DemonsandMosquitoes did he reply??

It wasn't Rod Stewart by the way!

😂

Was it pete Dohoerty ?

My weird crush is Jack Black i am not even ashamed, just enjoy it op it is harmless.

bestcatlife · 05/07/2025 18:39

I did have a thing for Adam Driver for a while, I found a poster for sale online of him driving a Smart car (my dream car). It wore off eventually

Guilty - Louis Theroux. Particularly the bearded lockdown version 🫣

bestcatlife · 05/07/2025 18:41

I like the young Louis.

Well yes. We messaged on and off for a few months. I still follow him on SM. He’s 30 today.

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

Ooh yes - Jarvis and Neil Hannon. I did have a weird crush on a musician in a very obscure indie band. In a spooky twist, my eldest ended up at uni in their city and had a houseshare with friends of theirs. Complete coincidence! One day my eldest said “mum I can arrange for you to meet (obscure indie band)” not knowing about the long-term crush and I was reduced to a giggling mess. I never could do it. Cross with myself because if it wasn’t for the crush I could’ve 🙄.

bestcatlife · 05/07/2025 19:00

Ooh that's a coincidence @IleftmybaginNewportPagnell 😄

bestcatlife · 05/07/2025 19:01

I think it's making me realise I need to change my life. All I really do is work and sleep, scroll SM. I don't have many hobbies. Maybe I'm craving a slightly more interesting life.

My job is boring as anything and without outing myself, the general public hate me (I'm not the tax man but almost).
