I *heart* crushes

For people I see IRL, I've discussed this issue before. I'm talking about crushes - those instant, unforgettable, quick feelings you have for someone which put a spring in your step and a twinkle in your eye. Crushes can be on the man (or woman) on the train, a person walking down the street, your best friend, the parents of a kid at school - anyone really. They might last mere seconds, or hours, or years (as in my crush on Billy Joel, no matter how old/fat/balding/alcohol addicted he is). Crushes can be so much *fun*. When we're young they lead potentially lead to 'men and women dancing,' when we're older they still might lead to 'men and women dancing.' When we're married with kids, they're just human nature. Of course some (stupid) people are married and have crushes which lead to dancing, but I'm not talking about those crushes. I'm just talking about the fact that once you're married, it's not like you become suddenly blind to the attractiveness of the opposite sex. Personally I think having crushes are good harmless fun - especially when it's some cute guy on the train, or the girl behind the Starbuck's counter, or that cute guy in "Prison Break." I'd like to freely admit that I have loads of crushes - most which last mere minutes, some which have lasted years (see Billy Joel comment above) and all of which will never lead to dancing. Go on, have a crush on someone today! (or wink at an old lady, and get her to have a crush on YOU. Same thing really...)
