For me, it was a crush I felt awkward, weird and somewhat embarassed about for months previous to meeting. I don't think I'd feel awkward like that should a similar situation crop up now. Which is good! Crush away!

I apologize to the handful of you I haven't flirted with.

I had a crush on a guy online for years. He got drunk and lewd on Independence Day last year. I went with it. Now he's too embarassed to speak to me much.

Kind of sucks really.

Yeah that'd be right.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 31 January 2005 03:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Um...

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 31 January 2005 03:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Okay CLEARLY I have no idea wtf you're talking about.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 31 January 2005 03:24 (twenty-one years ago)

My crushes go largely unreciprocated because I am, in fact, an utter cunt.

― Andrew (enneff), Monday, 31 January 2005 03:28 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm fine with this btw.

― Andrew (enneff), Monday, 31 January 2005 03:28 (twenty-one years ago)

And fuck you too, darling. Er, wait.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 31 January 2005 03:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Aw shit sorry Adam I was totally joking! Heh dammit, me and my lack of smileys gah.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 31 January 2005 03:36 (twenty-one years ago)

YOUR LACK OF SMILEYS HAS CURSED YOU ONCE TOO OFTEN. I HEREBY ANNOUNCE THAT I HAVE HAD A CRUSH ON TRAYCE ALL ALONG.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 31 January 2005 03:38 (twenty-one years ago)

And Tuomas's penis obv.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 31 January 2005 03:38 (twenty-one years ago)

i don't do net crushes anymore

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Monday, 31 January 2005 03:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh noes, I am forever crushed or something!

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 31 January 2005 03:39 (twenty-one years ago)

BTW that wasnt actually Tuomas's real penis you know.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 31 January 2005 03:39 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd crush on Adam but I'm not allowed cos he's like, married and shit.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 31 January 2005 03:40 (twenty-one years ago)

oooOO scathing.

― papa november (papa november), Monday, 31 January 2005 03:41 (twenty-one years ago)

BTW that wasnt actually Tuomas's real penis you know.

WELL WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO LOOK AT NOW WHEN I'M HAVING A W... studying biology for educational purposes?

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 31 January 2005 03:44 (twenty-one years ago)

MY PENIS.

No wait. Wait come back where are you all going!?

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 31 January 2005 03:45 (twenty-one years ago)

The Muse Bar to see if that's you on the poster.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 31 January 2005 03:46 (twenty-one years ago)

BAHAHHAAH ;D

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 31 January 2005 03:53 (twenty-one years ago)

I love jokes no one else will get.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 31 January 2005 03:53 (twenty-one years ago)

i've had a few!

― jill schoelen is the queen of my dreams! (Homosexual II), Monday, 31 January 2005 04:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I like this thread =)

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 31 January 2005 09:27 (twenty-one years ago)

I had one of these then I married her! It's our 1st anniversary in a few weeks :)

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Monday, 31 January 2005 10:49 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't think I have. It's weird because I spent most of my teenage years obsessing about people I'd never met (LL Cool J and Jordan Knight to name but two). Thing is, too often have I thought somebody a complete arsehole online, then met them in the flesh and found out they were actually really nice, and vice versa of course, that I take it as a given that the majority of people here are to some extent portraying themselves in a certain way. This doesn't mean I don't look at the photo threads and appreciate hottness, however.

the only male poster in the top 7, you know. i must be gay.

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 31 January 2005 17:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Dear God, I'd forgotten about that! I used to be top of that, you know. I have no idea why.

I don't think I have ever had a proper crush on anyone via the internet. I don't really do crushes any more anyway. I'm sure I must have done in the past, but, like the memory of pain, I can't remember it anymore.

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 31 January 2005 18:25 (twenty-one years ago)

I have crushes on internet people. It is embarrassing, but not quite as embarrassing as your rooommate (who is supposed to be in North Carolina) coming home at 7 in the morning to find you passed out on the living room floor, midwank, with a LoTR movie playing.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 31 January 2005 18:29 (twenty-one years ago)

what's all this about Tuomas' real/unreal penis?

― mysterious force (Drew Daniel), Monday, 31 January 2005 18:41 (twenty-one years ago)

haha! the sinister crush! i never got any of those, but i did send mine out to jayward. so cute

― phil-two (phil-two), Monday, 31 January 2005 18:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Schoedinger's Penis!

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 31 January 2005 18:51 (twenty-one years ago)

^r^

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 31 January 2005 18:51 (twenty-one years ago)

I've alluded to this on other threads. I actually met my online crush in real life, and we had a short-lived long distance relationship. Worst crash-and-burn breakup ever.

Ergo: Dud, dud, DUD.

― Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Monday, 31 January 2005 19:09 (twenty-one years ago)

link to images of Tuomas' penis please!

― increasingly powerful force (Drew Daniel), Monday, 31 January 2005 19:33 (twenty-one years ago)

how many times must I ask? all i want is a link to where the subject of Tuomas' penis first, er, came up . . . .

― white hot questing plasma giant (Drew Daniel), Monday, 31 January 2005 20:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Wtf, an Internet penis robot claims my erect willy is longer than with 98,4% of all men! (mod: penis pics)

― Michael White (Hereward), Monday, 31 January 2005 20:45 (twenty-one years ago)

thank you!

― a huge ever pulsating brain (Drew Daniel), Monday, 31 January 2005 20:48 (twenty-one years ago)

I think they are an internet myth.

― Leon the Fatboy (Ex Leon), Monday, 31 January 2005 20:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Wait a minute. There's a mailing list that keeps tabs on which list members are crushed on... ? Oh man, I don't know whether to be envious of the sense of community engendered with such things or shocked by the sense of competition it too would elicit.

schroedinger's dinger, surely

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 08:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I received two crushes on the Sinister Crush thing - but both were then taken away again.

― caitlin (caitlin), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 08:54 (twenty-one years ago)

woah if my email accounts didn't all stop working one after another i'd have been 2nd on the list with 9 votes!

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 09:00 (twenty-one years ago)

I got 5 sinister crushes, but under 2 different emails, so I don't show in the top 5 like I should!

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 13:34 (twenty-one years ago)

i didnt get any.

but then, i have never been on sinister

― charltonlido (gareth), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 13:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Wow. That's like the sort of anecdote Simon Pegg would think of including in Spaced but would dismiss it on the grounds of it being too pathetic to be credible.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 13:56 (twenty-one years ago)

three months pass...

I had one. Eventually we decided to meet each other, and ended up together for 2 years. Best relationship I ever had(dont ask how it ended).

― petlover, Monday, 2 May 2005 13:17 (twenty-one years ago)

How did it end?

― C J (C J), Monday, 2 May 2005 13:37 (twenty-one years ago)

two years pass...

i have a bad crush on a girl from a message board. we talk regularly on msn, really do seem to have lots and lots in common (to a surprising level), and i wonder if she thinks the same. we dont really flirt as such though, just talk lots. so maybe she doesnt. im quite aware it will probably come to nothing of course, but its ~~nice~~ nuts to fantasise about these things.

― mr x, Thursday, 20 December 2007 12:55 (eighteen years ago)

I have crushes on a large number of people I talk to here, on AIM, etc. It's nothing terribly serious generally, and it seems harmless.

C'e la luna mezz'o mare
Mamma mia me maritari,
Figghia mia, a cu te dari
Mamma mia pensaci tu.

Si ci dugnu lu babberi
Iddu va, Iddu veni
'u rasolu manu teni.
Si ci pigghia la fantasia
Mi rasulia la figghia mia.
