What was the longest crush you all had?

I seem to be the greatest person for experiencing crushes, and not acting on them until it's too damn late. :-(

Longest was a year and a half without knowing. Coworker (actually our HR director). Didn't want to do anything while we were still working together (did tease and flirt, just not hardcore and heavy). She gave her 2 weeks notice 2 weeks ago, and she's moving away (3 hours away).

Everybody at work hated her because she was towing the company line all the time. I figured out that it was actually management that was forcing her to act that way.

I asked her out for drinks last Thurs. night (her last day at work was Friday). We had a great time and I got to see the real her. Unfortunately didn't get into much kino or the physical, so I think she thought I was just being friendly. I'm still kicking myself for not doing that!

We had a get-together at a co-worker's house Friday and we didn't have a whole lot of opportunity to talk or be close. When I hugged her goodbye (and boy, what a GREAT hug that was. lol) I told her that I wanted to see her again and she shouldn't be a stranger. She said that sooner or later she'd be moving back.

I'm not gonna hold my breath (as she's moving away and I think I might be stuck in the "friend" zone, if that), but I think I'm a better person for it. Just another one of those kicking myself for not acting sooner AND getting my intentions across.

And don't get me wrong, I'm a successful professional man that (as I've been told) am quite attractive. Out of curiosity I posted my pic on Hotornot and was like an 8.5 and Sparky (Facebook) I'm allegedly 89% more attractive than other users.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not tooting my own horn (well, maybe a little ;-P), but just goes to show you that failure happens to everybody.

my crush is on a girl who is my best friend's elder sister & lived in my house as a tenant for about 10 years.i have a crush on her from my age of 8 and now I'm 18.so it is 10 years now and haven't said to her abt my attraction to her.Now she is no more living in my house.but I still visit her house .i'm afraid that my current relationship(friendly) would get destroyed on trying to build a new relationship with her.

mine was 5 years and if i saw her again id probably still want to have her. it started in 7th grade and i got kicked out of school during the 10th grade. after that i never saw her nore did i get the chance to tell her. 2yrs have past since then and im more mature and open so if i had a chance to tell her i would. but until then she remains my lost crush.

my longest crush was 7 years. He knew how I felt about him and he was protective of me but I never made my moves. He is my best friend older brother and even I had a crush him on I didn't want to date him either.
