Do our crushes know?

Do you think people know when someone has a crush on them?

I have a terrible crush on someone. We rarely speak. But I am sure as hell that I behave like a teenager around her - even if I really try to be cool and normal.
We are both married and have DC. So nothing can ever happen. But I have thought of nothing except for her for over a year now.. Surely, she must have noticed, right?

Would you be horrified or flattered if someone crushed on you? Or just sorry for the poor pathetic person?
Anyone with experience?

I have a major crush on somebody in work. I try to ignore him as much as possible (which is hard as he is the desk behind me!) so I guess I can come off as a bit jekl and Hyde as sometimes I’m chatty & flirty then I barely speak to him for days Blush

It’s because when we talk (very innocently I might add) he’s so charming, funny & handsome that I think about him what feels like constantly. He really does take over my thoughts Sad The complete opposite to my fiancé so I guess it’s the element of somebody completely different!

So, I then ignore him as much as I can because it’s dangerous territory, I’m getting married soon FFS! And he is in a LTR. Not that he would ever be interested in me if we were both single as he is way out of my league Grin

But ahh it can be unbearable as I definitely feel something & I’ve not felt like this for nearly 10 years. I know nothing would ever happen, so I’m hoping the feelings leave soon.

I really, really hope he doesn’t realise, but he honestly is gorgeous so probably gets a lot of women crushing on him. Blush

You really should reconsider marrying!

@sibello I think it’s pretty closed minded to think when in a LTR you’ll never be attracted to anyone else.
A crush can be an absolute fantasy (I.e. a celeb) it doesn’t mean I would ever act on it. It’s lust which is very fickle so will pass, not love.

I think mine knew. When I first laid eyes on her I thought she was the most stunning woman I had ever seen. She captivated me and I think she knew it. We were both married though so that was that. She left the company after a year or so and the crush went away. At the time it was all consuming though. Had she been single and I been single I would have made a move because I would have regretted it forever if I hadn’t, even if she had laughed me out of town!

I'd be worried if i wasn't yet married and already eyes wandering! But ok, i'm closed minded. Good luck to you both!
