Is anyone else like this? When I was in elementary school I would get a girlfriend and really not understand or be really devastated a week later when they broke up with me. I didn't understand that it was normal for it only to last for 8 days or 12 whatever. I was closer to preparing for the wedding. I'm kind of female emotionally. But don't say anything smart I'll still kick your ass dudes. I might not win but I'll never quit LOL. I've lost most of the 30 fights or so I have been in but I've never quit one of them. But I am one of those keep trying something that isn't working over and over for a different result types of people.

Probably guys, because we have to hope that one day a relationship will happen with the girls of our interest. Girls dont really have to hope for a relationship with guys, they just filter through the men showing interest and select their favorite candidate. It doesn't make sense for girls to have a crush that lasts long. If they stop and think about a guy that they like thats somthing totally different than a long lasting crush.
I don't think it is a gender issue. I would actually say that the men move on faster than women, since I am a woman myself. But I don't think that is true. It has something to do with crushes in general. We put them on sort of a pedestal, and we see only the good things about them. How can you get over a perfect person? Only way we can get over them is if we found out any dealbreakers, or our attraction for them changed somehow.
I don't really know. Depends on every individual and the circumstance. I have seen instances of both lasting long and short. For me, my longest crush is probably 2 years.

Its situational. A crush is really just am obsession until it leads to an emotional connection.. if you don't find that connection the obsession could last a few hours, days, weeks, or last because people just accept what they see and quit trying.
i think a crush or i should say the attraction of a woman lasts longer for a guy beacuse, a weoman can easly snare a man, but a man, not so much
so for a guy it lasts longerWell, with everlasting patience I have a crush on a colleague for the last 2 1/2 years and counting. Cccrrraaaaazzzyyy...
Case by case basis. There is one girl I've been obsessing over like no other. No one in high school came close.
Depends really.. I had a crush on a co- worker for a year even though she rejected me twice officially..
OMG when I was a teenager I could have a crush on a guy for years!! Nowadays it doesn't happen anymore LOL.
Don't know about girls, but I've had a crush on a girl for way over 7 years and even if I have kind of moved on since than, I still long for her sometimes
No idea, but I've had crushes that have lasted years. I still love a girl that passed away in highschool, and we were never together.
I think it really depends on the person :shrug:I think women. Men lose interest over the most simple things.
I don't know but I've had a crush on a girl for years, she is as bad as me..
I think that depends more on personality than gender...
I think that would totally depend on the person and not the gender.
Ice had a crush for 7 years so I dunno, you tell me
I dunno
some girl's crushes last longer and then some guy's crushes last longerThere’s no way to tell. Every person is a different case with a different character.
I've had a crush on a friend for 2 years now
They can or can not. Depends on the individual.
About the same for both
It’s an individual thing not a gender thing.
I would say for guys
