The next question is what qualities tend to make you or those you know have crushes on someone? Do you fall for a certain "type" or have you had these feelings for all kinds of people?

Are you more likely to have a crush on someone that you know in real life, or are you more likely to have a crush on some public figure that you know through the media?

I think it depends on many factors, I really can't aswer it very well since I've had both. Howver, for a public figure, on Fox News, I always liked Patti Anne Browne although I haven't seen her recently. B-(

How do you think most crushes turn out? Do they ever lead to serious romantic relationships? Do they ever lead to solid friendships?

Well, at the risk of turning this into a horror story thread, I did read ahead an s saw RCA2000's horror story, believe me, I have my share too. Don't want to go into the whole detail again, but this girl I knew in college, she liked science fiction stuff like Star Trek, Dr. Who and so forth, but when I wanted to talk to her at one point, she told me to leave her alone in a very mean tone. I said, "well, OK, then, nice knowing ya," and parted. A few months later, because she saw my name on a Fidonet BBS user log, she accused me of trying to log into her account, which I never would do. The whole college got involved, there were threats of charges against me but none were filed, everything was ironed out and everything was OK. The day I was accused, I just drove home, I blacked out while driving (everything was a blur to me) and then "came to" at home, my cats were trying to comfort me, first Corky came up to me, then Cricket and Pansy (I miss you guys). This was back in 1989.

What questions have I failed to ask about this topic? If you were hosting this weekend, how would you have approached the topic?

I don't know, you did a good job, at least I think so.

I haven't seen Patti Ann Browne in a while either, but I don't watch for her as much. She can be pretty funny on Red Eye sometimes.

I can see how the stress of your situation would make you "black out." Those kinds of situations are what makes many of us think twice (or three times or four times or ... or thirty-seven times ...) before acting on our crushes.

I have enough “horror stories” about experiences in my life to scare most people from sleeping for a week or two!! Believe me I have shared a VERY small amount of them (publicly—a couple of FReepers got a couple of PM’s about some other things over the years)—there are others that would make some here shiver!!

and THIS week...I had a number of"nice" things happen...my pay is late AND my hours have again been cut, the guy who hit-and-ran my van a couple of weeks ago is NOT going to take responsibility for it (and if I want MY insurance company to take care of it--it will no doubt raise my premiums AND I have to come up with a $250 deductible), and my tax bill for the house for this half year ($1200) has come EARLY and is due EARLY too.

Face it..my whole life has pretty much been a horror story. (EXCEPT for my health--which God has kept nearly perfect all of these years).
