boy crush

I definitely have those for people I admire, male and female. Hero crushes, I guess. Part of it for me is that my emotions of romantic love and platonic affection are mostly separate (i.e. they don't usually run together), which isn't the case for most of the people I've talked to. And yes, I keep sexual appreciation separate from psychological appreciation as well, so yeah. It's hard to explain.

 

I've never liked the term "boy crush" or "nonsexual crush". Sure, I've met people I think are really cool, and want to expand the relationship without climbing into bed, but I wouldn't use the term "crush" on those. They're just cool people I'd like to get to know better.

I can't look/think about anyone in a none sexual manner once i know them for more then a few... minutes.

Whether it's male, female, good or bad images depends.

I don't think it's possible to have a none sexual crush!

 

A crush has to be sexual, a crush develops because you're attracted to them, be it physically or mentally...

I dun consider them crushes for obvious reasons, but yes, I have experienced what you described, but mostly on girls =P

 

Here we call em "man crushes" lol. I guess it makes us feel more masculine or something But yeah, I've had one before. I think it's odd, though, because you never hear about straight guys having "woman crushes" or "girl crushes." They only have regular crushes where they like a certain girl, but never where they just admire said girl.
