There's this girl that I work with in my office with freckles and thick nerdy glasses. I don't know her name, and I've never even said as much as hello to her. I look at the back of her head every time I walk by her desk.
I'm in love with her -- or rather, I'm in love with the idea of her. Something about her says she's really smart. I see her glasses and I think to myself. "I bet she reads a lot."
I imagine talking for hours about really complex topics and current events. She's not even hot, but I'm obsessed with her.
I'm madly in love with my wife and I wouldn't dare cheat on her by asking this girl out. Even if I wasn't married I probably still wouldn't even try to talk to her because I fear she could quickly break this very fragile fantasy I've made up about her if I take a few seconds to get to know her. I could go great lengths explaining what it is I find so infatuating about her but I think it would be borderline creepy.
It's very weird. I just felt like talking about it.

I could go great lengths explaining what it is I find so infatuating about her but I think it would be borderline creepy. Ok fine. She was born in New Hampshire but now she lives in a one bedroom studio apartment in Philadelphia. She loves artisan coffee and she's no basic bitch who gets her coffee from Dunkin Donuts. She gets it from a hole in the wall cafe that makes THE BEST Americanos. I dont even like coffee but if she brought me there I could let her teach me to appreciate it. She listens to new wave indie music while she curls her red hair in the morning. When she was young she used to bake snicker doodle cookies with her babysitter. She can make the dopest grilled cheese sandwich /w tomato soup. She's a hardcore Democrat but she knows the media has gone too far. She hates Donald Trump with a passion, but for reasons she can articulate beyond building walls and grabbing pussy. She reads the New York Times despite their bias because theyre still the most reputable news company and she likes to be informed about current events. As a teenager she used to be a goth/emo kid who wrote poetry and listened to Smashing Pumpkins and Nirvana. She was a photographer in high school for still pieces but she prefers oil painting landscapes now. Her mom is kind of a hippie and her dad is kinda out of the picture. She's super smart and opinionated but she's also a FREAK in bed. Its everything I could ever want. If I ever find out any of these things are not true, I would just be devastated and I'd never talk to her again.

How do you know if you said you won't cheat on your wife?

After reading 40’s posts this song comes to mind:
Insert 40’s 2nd post over the original lyrics and it’s quite amusing :-)

I really did make it all up. In reality I know nothing about her and I guess by being in a boring office and walking by her desk every morning, I've projected some ridiculous and detailed fantasy about her.
She's a real, physical, person of course, but everything I know about her is made up in my head. I love the relationship that I'm in but I guess I'm just attracted to the idea of being a secret admirer. lol

I think I've had a work crush at every job I've ever had. She's never too smokin' hot because to also having an amazing personality is just too good to be true. It breaks the illusion. She has inner beauty. She's pretty but has something of a 'homely' kinda look that doesn't blatantly advertise that she wants the D. You have to work for it. But on a hot summer night, you could put her in a dress and do her hair up and bring her to a fancy restaurant and she'd be a solid 10/10.
Surely, you guys must have done something similar right? Maybe in school or college, or waiting in line at a store or something? There's always someone who's just perfect but there's no way you'd ever bring yourself to talk to them.

40oz, you aren't alone, that is for sure, but since you are married * intense death glare* That glare should cover up why I think adultery is fucking terrible. Now onto the topic itself: I myself, cannot probably remember the last time I crushed on a stranger, but I know just when I rolled into college I saw wayyy too many cute stuff my inner fangirl went into a coma. I dunno how to describe it without becoming a creep or a neckbeard, but either way, I adored some of the aesthetics I saw. I know this girl from my class, a exchange student from Hungary, I guess. I don't know much about her, but I would surely love to meet her and know her. I mean, I would like to know everyone who I am forced to be in some place for a longer time, but her especially. But due to the way she storms off after every class makes me believe she doesn't want any other business that isn't hers. Shame. I don't get to see girls combining shorts and thigh high stockings anywhere else. Plus her silly scarf, all adds up to the image of a bizarre female (sl)a(v)nime character ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) That being said, I don't neccesarily imagine myself living the entire life with her, just probably a date or two then-we-see-what-happens-next thingy. Usually, at this point I remember I don't really look that attractive (gonna lose weight to fix that problem), and if someone found me attractive and wanted to mate, she (yeah, I mean, man-of-honor-and-traditions-have-to-prefer-women-by-default and shit) is going to have to bother dealing with some dude who clearly doesn't know what is he doing and would rather be doing something else at the given moment. It sounds like I am a two-steps-from-becoming-a-"nice-guy" eh? According to my diary, I was once seriously crushed into what turned out to merely be a good friend in high school. An top student, doesn't give a fuck about the steretypes, just the kinda girl (SEE MOM NO GAY) who wants to advance in life, while not being too succesful to deal with fame and drama. Excellent-o. Her looks? Well, let us see what my stupid mind wrote into my diary at that point, ah, friends, gaze upon this direct translation: She has these big oriental-like eyes and brown straight hair that kinda goes over her shoulders but kinda doesn't, and she keeps a bit-open mouth at all times, like you could see her two front teeth at max. I dunno why but that is way too fucking cute ohmafuckinggord. I made two three drawings inspired by her, but I never tell anyone who I show its her. I just say that I saw this one in a movie and wanted to draw it. And so far they bought it! What newbs! I like showing my stuff to people and talking about it, no matter how pretentious and/or childish that sounds, am I a narcissist then? Anyways, whatever, [REDACTED] is cute as fuck, and while I don't really wanna fucc er, I would surely love to be her friend. Not boyfriend or anything no. I cannot handle shipping. Or can I? JUST AS KEIKAKU.
( I was very excited around that period, I guess. Oh goodness, I sounded like a creep there. What was I thinking by making stupid fanart like ffs? Oh yeah and I called everyone a noob, look how did I change that, noobfaces.) In the end, I forgot about the whole crush thingy and we just became very good friends. Did I friendzoned myself there? Wait, does the friendzone even exist?One thing is for sure, I cannot stop thinking that with every word I type I look more and more like a creep or a stalker who lies that I am an ace in the first place. Nah. I am fine. Also this post took a while to write since I like reading my own cringy shit ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

I love reading your posts BattleKorbi! That girl sounds beautiful!
I feel the same way you do. I think I'd enjoy this person more as a friend than ever being in any kind of serious relationship with her. Even if just for the eye candy and fun flirting. That can be kinda tantalizing though. I once ruined a perfectly good friendship in high school because I was flirting with her often. She later revealed to me that she was almost totally sure she was in love with me. I actually really liked the sexual tension leading up to it. The feeling of not being sure if she was into me, and kinda testing things I can say to her that won't put her off. The moment it became real I didn't want anything to do with it. I made up a fake story about an ex-girlfriend that I still had feelings for.
It was pretty fucked up of me to toy with her emotions like that now that I think about it. At the time I didn't think it was going to go anywhere and I just panicked.

We all have a crush like this, I'm actually madly in love with a girl I know as a good friend, she's got a BF, is a wonderful person, beautiful beyond belief and is short of nothing but perfection itself so naturally I know I don't have a chance with her.
It's nothing to get angry about, it's a simple fact of life and as soon as you come to terms with the impossibility of it then it drives you less mad, instead I already accept the answer as no to a question I'll never ask and seek to be a good and very caring friend rather than a bitter attempted lover as you can still show your affection that way (albeit less dramatic).
