How quickly do you develop a crush?

Question

I’ve only ever had a crush on 2 girls my entire life. The first was back in early elementary school maybe late preschool? I left a note in her locker with one of those toy bounce balls. Never found out what she did with it though…

The second was the biggest one. Meet her mid to late elementary school and we were friends. But when we started middle school I developed feelings for her as well as major shyness/nervousness to the point I couldn’t get myself to even say hi in the hallways. We never had classes together because she was in the advanced classes and I wasn’t. I had a big thing for all from middle school all the way up until we graduated high school. She still won’t accept my Facebook friend request to this day. 🤷🏻‍♂️ oh well, she’s most definitely a bitch anyway

The last crush I had it was love at first sight. Haven't had a crush since it's been 5 years. Before rhat I probably didn't have a crush for 10 years.

But I have a lot of mini crushes on women who are cute or sexy or likeable in some way. It's just a real crush has an intensity that is rare for me.

Ooh… great question! It depends a little. It used to happen quickly when I was younger because when we’re younger we don’t have inhibitions or past failures to draw from. I would say now it takes me a while longer. What’s the expression? “Once bitten, twice shy?”

For me personally it can be anything from the moment to a few weeks. However , the longest crush I've had was from 2019 to 2023, because in 2023 he became my boyfriend , he doesn't know I liked him since 2019 though 😁😁

I am an adult man and I don't develop "crushes." That is what adolescents do.

My current crush started as soon as I laid eyes on her, but it has continued to develop and strengthen over a year or more.

It can happen quickly but I need to know them a bit. I will not crush on someone just by looks

I no longer feel that way, or have not for over 15 years now.

I felt the rejection and then realized why I was rejecting them. They had my attention.
