View Full Version : Platonic crushes
Has anyone here experienced this - you meet someone and think "Oh my God, I wanna be their friend so smurfing bad!"?
I've had this a couple times, but that might be because I'm both very shy and very sociable, and all my old friends are far away and I just can't make new ones.

If I want to be someones friend and our social classes allow it (eg, its not a celebrity platonic crush) I will generally try to find a way to subtly weasel myself into their life. Unfortunately for them I'm usually successful. Though generally they have to be at least a friend of a friend of a friend or circumstances have caused us to be acquaintances before I can make my move, I cant just go up to a stranger on a train I find fascinating.

I'm fine with this
No. I'm the one people have platonic crushes on.
Yeah, always people who have some ability that I really admire (like they're really good at fanart/fanfic/etc.)
I'm too terrified to ever end up talking to them so here we are!

My platonic crushes are probably the icosahedron or the dodecahedron.
I attribute this to playing table top RPGs in my formative years, and the shape of the dice used in those games.

Yes :<
If I ever hear anyone avidly discussing something that interests me (rpgs, anime/shows I've watched, music I like) I want to join in sooo bad but the one time I did I was ignored (so awkward) so now I'm scarred and just listen on in quiet anguish when it happens D:

Yes there is this girl in my class, she is very nice and so far hasn't posted anything racist and/or bigoted on facebook and she's mentioned how she's trying to find friends and it's hard to do and in my head I'm like "YES I TOO NEED FRIENDS"
But then I just can't talk to her beyond saying "nice shirt" and nodding awkwardly
And the semester is almost done so oh well :/

Oh, Vi. Wow, it's been way too long since I watched Buffy.

Yes, I've had this quite a number of times in my life. I become fascinated with certain friends and want to hang out with them and talk to them constantly. It lasts a few months, normally, perhaps a bit longer. Sometimes it can blossom into a truly wonderful friendship that lasts for well over a decade. Sometimes it fizzles out slowly over time but the memories and bond remain in rare times we catch up. Sometimes I frighten them off. :') Oops.
When you find that friend that you just love being around, though, and they feel similarly, that kind of friendship is the best friendship life can offer.
I have a major crush on this girl on tumblr right now because like all the same warcraft characters but she's always gone and it makes me so sad :'(

Things end badly when I develop crushes, platonic or otherwise. Im learning to ignore them as bad omens, phoenix harbingers of the night that reduce everything to nothingness.
