To ask you if you have a real life crush on anyone?

[Rainbowb]

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!

Maybe outing was the wrong word. My SIL and MIL are on here and they found me through my post history. I don't want them to know about this particular embarrassment they'd never let me live it down. DH has agreed to only occasionally poke fun at me for it.

Random gym guy. So hot and such a deep voice. Lots of mutual looking. Makes my day when I see him.

Tom would definitely not keep waking me up all night long by pawing and groping at me because he’s horny, and then huff angrily every time I removed his hands.

@Soapytoad No because you wouldn't be removing his hands.

I'm embarrassed to admit it but I still have a massive crush on my DH even after all these years Often find myself dreamily watching him doing something really mundane like fill the kettle or shave himself because he's just gorgeous to look at and totally sexy in a very unconscious way. I'm well into middle age for Heaven's sake but he still makes me feel like a love struck teenager every day

Ah that’s a really good thing!

Awwwwwwwww!

My Tom has sent an e-mail to say that my presentation might have to be be done online because the department is in lockdown.

I will have to do it while he's watching me on a webcam.

Steady on, @Sucking

Get those thoughts out of your head right now!!!!

I've had a massive crush on the same guy for about 25 years. Literally since I first set eyes on him at school aged about 13. He was the year above me in school. I used to literally go weak in the knees when I saw him.

We are now friends on facebook and I get a massive thrill when we wish each other happy birthday once a year (and if he ever comments on anything.).

Gosh I’ve no updates for you all.

Am in search of new crushes and expect all the crushable are currently saving lives, busy doing very important things, etc.

Got my work cut out for me, I can tell you.

Need a field study grant at this rate.

@Allaboardthemagicbus

You have no idea how much I don't want to do it.

Obviously if the circumstances were different I'd be very happy chatting to him.

Dear lord he will be in my living room. I'll have to tidy up.

I

What field are you in Alla?

If it's social sciences you'll have no trouble getting a grant.

Research proposal: Toms as a subject of female desire, focusing on #teacherToms, #geekToms and #randombodypartToms (arms).

I was thinking more along the lines of ‘competence as an accelerant to crush syndrome: a study of the effect of Toms on pre,Peri and post menopausal women.’

Let the research begin.

Gosh, if only I could think of my real thesis title so easily.

Currently stuck on an collection of incoherent ideas desperately looking for a unifiable thread to stitch them all together’

My supervisor has the patience of a saint.

Fields of competence ‘ respective disciplines ‘eg: #techTom, #medicTom #strongTom could be my co variables.

I could offset the prevalence and speed of crush by age of woman and competence ranking.

Have start ranking Toms.

Where does #techTom come on a scale of 1-10 and where does that leave #random body parts Tom?

So much to think about. I need my spreadsheet.

@Mia1415 Wow, 25 years!

Have you seen him since then though?

Are you sure he isn't a fat bald accountant?

" pre,Peri and post menopausal women" is all women, no? The effects of Toms aren't specific to any age group or reproductive state. I bet even pregnant women are susceptible to Toms.

#randombodypartTom is an indefinable category. You might put him at a 10 if you like #armsToms and he has them. I might put him at a 1 if I like #bottomToms and his is quite poor. In any case, #armsToms and #bottomToms are sub-fields.

Actually you could write a whole research paper on #randombodypartToms.

#techTom is a sub-set of #geekTom and #medicTom is a sub-set of #geekTom.

My Tom will be in my living room doing a virtual lecture this week. You're welcome to sit next to me and do some action research.

Will you take notes for me? @SuckingDieselFella !!!!

I ‘ll include you in the citations!!!

Yes, all women just in case anyone raises the issue of it being a perimonopausal thing.

If I start noting down the effect my Tom is having on me, he might get a bit suspicious.

Must remember not to do usual living room activities such as wander off, make cup of tea, pick nose, etc.

Note to self, get properly dressed. DO NOT WEAR PYJAMA BOTTOMS.

He is the geekiest guy on earth and if you saw him you'd wonder what the fuss is about. But he does have a certain bottom something.

peaceanddove you’re Tom’s wife!!!! You lucky lucky woman.

Yes, nose picking is def not on.

#maintaintheillusion

Ha ha @Soapytoad would you believe me if I said DH's first name really is Tom

Why are you even on mumsnet? You’re wasting valuable shagging time!

Already got one banked from earlier today
