I do, however, have a related question about crushes: What is wrong with a person who attracts crushes [particularly from younger women] but also seems to be a no hoper when it comes to relationships, love, and dating? [A chocolate fish to anyone who can answer satisfactorily this perplexing question.]

Truer words were never spoken. Crushes are lovely. Taking them out of the crush stage never equals anything except crushing disappointment. Hence, why they are called crushes.
Love = utter and completel shite. Crushes = amusing and entertaining waste of time. Best of all = random, anonymous sex with beautiful and therefore perfect strangers.
― kate, Monday, 22 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)
Love = utter and completel shite...Best of all = random, anonymous sex with beautiful and therefore perfect strangers
Evidently, the age of Romance is truly dead. For me, however - well - I'm rather fond of big concepts like Love and Romance {as long as they don't conform to that sexist/patronising/Victorian shite}. I don't enjoy random anonymous sex and I find crushes to be the most scary of all human affections. You're all so cynical. Vote love; vote romance - you have nothing to lose except a few otherwise boring Saturday nights and your own insecure conviction that a heart kept in a box still functions as a heart. Love, damn it, love.

It's terrible having a crush, I've decided. It makes me feel crazed and scatterbrained and forgetful. And I am useless at 'playing it cool'. Practically the first minute I met him, I said "I like you!", so obviously my life is wrecked now. Also, I am running out of ideas about how I can make him want to hang out with me.

not necessarily. CRUSHES last untill you get bored/distracted/fed up which can be quite a while, but LOVE only lasts as long as it takes to discover the ANNOYING PERSONAL HABITS! i'll stick to my self- deluded fantasy universe thanks, at least it doesn't clip toenails into the sink.

those are the annoying habits i hate the most! i hate being reminded of my faults. i don't like turning crushes into the real deal anyway cause that person's real personality is never as dashing or romantic as my subconciously-invented script for the crush-version them. and i would rather be single and deluded than find ~*~tRuE lOve~*~ and have my illusions shattered in the process.

If you are thrilled by someone, even thought you have a partner, then do it, because you never know where attraction, passion and lust can lead you. Don't be swayed by security and comfort. Excitement and fireworks are what life is all about.

Must admit, had to google McCandless. My POV is from coming out of a 10 year relationship & finding out that it wasn't the first time I'd been cheated on. The old adage "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em". Never thought I'd join that camp, but all experiences are leading me to believe we are not meant to be monogomous.

P.S., cutty & bnw - yes & yes. I have retained some standards. They've just shifted somewhat from the morals that were instilled in me by my wonderful parents. Now I find myself turning to the darkside - the "me, me, me/take, take, take" generation. There's only so much you can give before you start to think, "Hey, you know what, I'm not such a bad person, maybe people should give back to me for a change."
