Oooh, big SECRET: LJ Crush Stats!

[chanaleh]

Problem with stuff like this is I really, really want finer distinctions. Like full-blown butterflies-in-the-stomach crushes vs. idle little back-of-the-mind, gee-but-he's-cool, wouldn't-mind-getting-me-some-of-that sensations. And past vs. present for either of those. And ex-crushes that resolved themselves in actual dating/relating vs. ex-crushes that faded away in silence over time.

Still, of course, I couldn't resist.

Well, you could just post your own numbers, which I think are more interesting than percentages, anyway. Even better, give us names! :)

[chanaleh.livejournal.com]

Heh. I thought about that (making my own categories), but figured I might as well do theirs as a preliminary. As for names -- ohhh, I don't think I'm feeling that brave. ;-)

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I think I could name at least one. (Though I may just be channeling ego. ;)

[chanaleh.livejournal.com]

If your suspect is who I suspect it is... well, yeah, that's one. :-)

I think my biggest problem with posting names is hurting the feelings of people NOT seeing themselves on the list. Maybe I'll make a girls-only post (since all my crushes in any meaningful sense are male), and then we can all have a good giggle.

Yep, definitely needed finer distinctions. You did a better job of voicing exactly what kind of distinctions than I did. :)

Most of my ex-secret-crushes aren't on livejournal, so it's not really very representative. Most of them are now also either completely out of my life or clearly not interested/not available.

I actually don't think I have any current secret crushes at the moment. Kind of sad, really.

Yeh, I wrote an entry awhile ago about friend-crushes, which I am too lazy to find now. I waffled whether to include friend-crushes, but decided no, that's not what they were talking about.

I defined "crush" as "sustained attraction to someone for a substantial period of time," not just passing, "ooh, gotta get me some o' that."
