And would you do anything if you could completely get away with it?! Mine is my daughter’s swimming teacher, he has the sexiest smile and is so good with the kids. Totally gives me the flutters but I’m guessing he’s not into overweight bespectacled women in their forties! Grin

@Yesonenightonly I'd have a crush on him too!

I don't exactly have a crush but get on extremely well with a man I chat to frequently. He's extremely nice and offered me assistance when I got out of hospital (you can tell he'd do that for anyone).

We're both single and it's win-win as we may just be friends or it may go further. We do beam when we see each other :)

'His voice is mostly what I experience and it's quite an experience."

The gorgeous but shallow bloke had a lovely voice too. A lilty country dialect not common in this neck of the woods.

I do have a crush on a hot younger colleague. A few weeks ago I found out it was reciprocated. Blush.

He took me for lunch yesterday and we agreed to draw a line under it as we're both married. Has been a bit of a major ego boost and cheered me up as been feeling a bit low after discovering DH's infidelity.

@Drunkensnog sounds tough, Drunken. Hope things are moving the way you want in your marriage.

I have a Tom too. Most definitely needs to be neutered, he will flirt with anyone, animal mineral or vegetable! Hes not my type looks wise. But oh god, the voice, a husky geordie accent and and a full body laugh. He lights up rooms.

Yes, I may be peri menopausal and single...

definitelynottwelvenow · 28/02/2020 21:13

Yes!! After a 7 year dry spell where I had zero interest in anybody, a new team member started at work . She's lovely, a real breath of fresh air. Other staff have started commenting on the fact that I'm always in a good mood recently. We work closely together and she seems to bring out the best in me. She's single, but straight (I'm female too) story of my life Confused

ScatteredMama82 · 28/02/2020 21:16

Yes, guy at work, he’s got goriest and we totally click. We only ever really speak on work nights out when we are drunk, as we both feel the tension and when sober it’s too awkward. I wouldn’t, but god if we did it would be amazing 😉

OhTheRoses · 28/02/2020 21:19

Yep. Started in 1989. Married him in 1991. Still got a crush on him Smile.

Asimovsfutureishere2020 · 29/02/2020 17:43

Right, off to speak to crush no2 #backupcrush

Wish me luck and I'll keep you updated Grin

akitamiss · 29/02/2020 18:12

Yes, it's my BIL Blush. In so many ways he is not my type, city-boy in tech, bald, glasses. But he is kind, smart, always so helpful and easy to talk to, pleasant fun, and successful.

Of course, I'd never do anything, but do feel jealous of DSis sometimes. I try not to see him.

Soapytoad · 29/02/2020 21:25

Kind is such a huge thing though akitamiss. Proper genuine, heartfelt, true kindness. It means so much! ❤️

Asimovsfutureishere2020 · 29/02/2020 21:52

I would choose kindness over everything now.

SuckingDieselFella · 29/02/2020 23:18

Asimov, how did you get on?

My Tom is very kind. He gave me top marks in my essay. Grin

Asimovsfutureishere2020 · 29/02/2020 23:32

@Sucking

Not yet, Sucking - he is not around (thought he was, but got it wrong).

Maybe tomorrow Grin

Very sweet and gentle. Shy and nerdy (to an unbelievable degree) but think there is life in there.

Asimovsfutureishere2020 · 29/02/2020 23:34

@SuckingDieselFella

What was your reaction to the essay grade? Did you gush thanks to him?
Or was it an intense stare and a look that said more?!!

Springtimesoonpls · 01/03/2020 00:13

YES! a huge crush on him!

He is soooo nice! So wonderful! Only problem is... He is taken :(

Did you ever tell your crush you liked him?

Is it a good or bad idea to tell your crush you like them?

I can't stop thinking about him...and that's terrible and embarrassing I know!

Asimovsfutureishere2020 · 01/03/2020 00:16

Its giddy schoolgirl time

SuckingDieselFella · 01/03/2020 14:53

@Asimovsfutureishere2020 Feedback is delivered online these days. I gave the screen an intense look instead of him. Smile

Did you see Tom2 today? He sounds like my Tom. Lucky you having two of them.

confessionagogo · 01/03/2020 15:26

Urghhhh I do. He is a friend of my husband and I.

He is short, bald, creative and old enough to be my dad (although you would never believe it).
Which is the exact opposite of my lovely husband.
He also has a wonderful wife who I adore.

It is completely ridiculous and I feel so stupid, I can hardly look him in the eye anymore. But he is on TV semi regularly so I can gawp at him in private Grin

EoinMcLovesCakeJumper · 01/03/2020 15:49

Yes - tragically, it's my younger, married boss. I thought I'd been fairly subtle about it, but recently he's been talking about his wife and in-laws a lot, so perhaps he's trying to warn me off...

I know that someone like him would never be interested in a fat, perimenopausal middle-aged woman like me, so I've been trying to put myself off by imagining him laughing at me and my patheticness while he's in bed with his wife, and the two of them giggling at the thought of me as a threat to their marriage. I'm sure she's not a remotely nasty person and she wouldn't behave like that really, but I've managed to make the scenario so realistic in my head that I feel quite aggrieved about it Grin

SuckingDieselFella · 01/03/2020 16:21

@confessionagogo
Please tell me it isn't Gregg Wallace.

Flopdrop · 01/03/2020 16:23

Yes. Someone I work with who is in a long term relationship. I tend to avoid being around her when I can help it or it drives me mad!

SilverySurfer · 01/03/2020 16:52

Years ago, my work friend and I had a crush on the same man in our office. Each morning we would ask the other 'have you seen the MST? (Many Splendored Thing (from a 1950's film))?and be insanely jealous if they had. If he actually spoke to us we were rendered virtually speechless Grin
