What's the closest you've ever come to having a crush on someone on Lemmy?

Reading this post was the first time I ever considered it as a possibility.

So you’re saying there’s a chance 👉👈
- yes, popcorn princess

What? You guys are all a bunch of letters on a screen, lol

Same answer as everyone else: Flying Squid.

I came here to post that.
I'm flattered! I'm not single, but maybe my wife could be talked into stuff...
- bow chicka bow bow

Probably the closest I've come is recognising the same user name from one thread to the next. So I guess... not very close at all.

bro u okay?

Yeah no, that's a young person's game.

Kinda amazing how crushes just stopped happening and healthy mutual relationships became a thing.

Yeah. I'm married with adult kids. All of that is work enough. I don't have enough energy left to crush on anyone. Not even like a platonic bro-crush or whatever.
- Not even with kids, just wife and those in-laws and family and those out-laws, and I already feel like I'm in over my head. Kids might break me, were definitely only having 1 if any (or twins, it would be unfair to pick just one of them, and if we did we'd undoubtedly screw up and pick the evil one)

I don't think I could ever have a crush on someone without meeting them in person.

Interesting or attractive I guess it's possible, but having a crush requires direct interaction in physical reality

I’d say feeling admiration for others. People who are kind, patient, insightful, and critical thinkers. People who look at how political goods (including wealth) are distributed and can think critically about it. Nutomic and Dessalines for sure.

It never occurred to me before this question but Fossilesque is cool as hell.

I've jacked off to nudes of the same woman more than once a but probably less than 5 times. Later virgins.

None of you assholes in !cfb@fanaticus.social, I can tell ya that!
