Do you think having crushes are healthy or unhealthy? Do they serve any purpose? What do you think . . . that's the question!

I don't think they're unhealthy. It's a part of life. I think that anybody who's never had a crush, whether it be a 'real' person or a celebrity, doesn't have a heart.

Ive had one for 6 years. :lol:

I have three crushes at the moment :lol:

Whether healthy or unhealthy isn't the point. It is pretty much involuntary like the hiccups. Almost impossible to stifle! My first major crush was on George Harrison when I was 14 years old!Lord, I had it so bad!:crazy: :lol:

That's a little harsh, what if theyve never met anyone attractive?

ive realized that i never like guys for their looks, its always for their personality. it's not unhealthy to like someone but it is if youre so obsessed with them its taking over your mind.

My crushes can get so bad..lol especially when I was in school and you'd follow them around and stuff. :o

I think they're bad...especially when it gets to the point when you're stalking the person and they reject you more and more. It just really hurts

my crushes are unhealthy. *evil grin* i know everything 'bout ma crush.


even stuff im not supposed to know ^________^

and then all the other stuff i dont know about... i make up strange theories about it... and i got about like 300 recorded in this little notebook i have thats practically dedicated to ma currrrrsh! and it includes... like every stupid little thing they've said since i started stalking them... and then its got like what they wore and when they wore it... where i think they bought it... pictures!!!!! and a ****load of other wunderflull stuff!

but it is... really horrible, and sick! i need to stop before someone gets hurt!

wow... i have problems.

I agree. Some people never seem to fall for someone, because they always find something that's wrong with them *cough* Hannah *cough*

I agree with you too, Sarah, that when someone becomes obsessed with them to the point of it taking over their mind.....thats not healthy at all.

Crushes are awsome I have a crush on a guy that is supposedly my "boyfriend"

I said nothing about being obsessed with somebody. You totally missed the point of what I was saying. What I meant about not having a heart(which I knew I would get flak from), is that I can't imagine never having a crush on ANYBODY in your life whether it be a 'real' person, a teacher, your coach, and especially a celebrity. So, you're saying you've never had a crush on a famous person? I've never known anybody who hasn't. I don't care how old or young a person, there has to be somebody out there that when you look at them, you just get this "swooning" feeling. That is what I meant. I'm in my 3?, have a serious boyfriend, but I have crushes on quite a few famous people.

Oh yeah, who hasn't crushed on a celebrity before? But I just don't consider that real because you don't know them personally. I think I had a real crush one time on this guy in the 6th grade, then I got to know him and he was a loser....so I think I've become too cautious since then.

THANK YOU, ANAHIEMPMWITCH!!!! You're welcome and PS you're not the only 30something person on her I'll be 31 in a few weeks

I once heard that crushes prepare you for real love. Who knows, but that's what I read.

Everyone has them. They only become unhealthy when they turn into obsessions and you either don't live your life, you you become a stalker.

That's good. I learned that too late, cos in HS...it was all about who was sexiest. :rolleyes:

I think crushes are very healthy.. I am almost 28 years old and I still develop "Crushes" on stars...so what...I happen to be a successful, intelligent and attractive woman who admires certain celebrities:) and still gushes over them..I honestly think it is fun..until the right man comes along again....:D

I have been married to the same guy for almost 35 years but I still have a major crush on Paul!:eyes: I guess I will never grow up!(I hope);)

Hi PS, I'm another 30something. I'm 34.

I agree with Anaheim. There's nothing wrong with a good crush until you start stalking the person.

I have had so many crushes. I keep a mental list of them.

the guy I sorta like now is a dealer, but its alright ;), the other is my ex...catholic school boy:woohoo:

to quote sixteen candles, "if crushes were easy they wouldnt be called crushes, they would be called something else"

I don't see why they aren't healthy or normal or whatever. If anything, they help keep your imagination active. ;)

my friends are always like "your not shallow, you like guys no based on their looks..."



true...but the hotties are still :eyes:

I love crushes :D Except when they screw you over... that always sucks.

Exactly.. :lol:

I don't think they're unhealthy, unless you turn into a stalker, like everyone else said. I'm almost 29 and I've had lots of crushes on guys.
