I Am So Like A Teenager At Times - I have a Crush! What Am I like?

Ever since I was a girl I have always like Martin Shaw the actor who played int the Professionals as Doyle, all the other girls like Bodie but not me, I always thought Martin Shaw was just so sexy and he has improved with age, when I was dating someone I asked him not to come round one night as I had a date with another man, Judge John Deed, another programme Martin Shaw was in and now tonight I delibrately got my son to bed asleep early so I could watch him in George Gently at 8pm. I wasn't that impressed with the programme but watched cos of Martin Shaw. Have you got a secret crush like this on someone? Have you had one in the past? Am I being a silly girl instead of a mature woman of 45 acting like this over someone I will probably never get to meet for real? Ellie :D

Hi ellie333. Hmm, my crush isn't exactly secret--I love Johnny Depp! And, I'm a lot older than you, so if you are silly, I don't even know what that means about me! I do think most people develop interests in particular celebrities, actors and musicians whom they admire, in terms of their talent, looks, charisma, etc. So, I suspect we both fall in the realm of "normal," whatever that is. Take care.

Oh, my gosh, ellie333! You mean you could go see Johnny Depp in person? You must go right away and report back to me immediately!! Just kidding. Anyhoo, I like Nicholas Cage also. That is wonderful that you have such interesting people living within such close proximity to you. Just remember, Johnny Depp is mine...

Ah yes Johnny Depp, yes he is another good one, he is not beyond my dreams to meet though as my friend lives in Bath and knows the pub he frequents so I could make the trip to go as its not that far. Nicholas Cage lives nearby too, or they both have properties there anyway. Ellie :D

Hi Mummymo, I used to love that programme and yes I like Bruce Willis too but there is something about Martin Shaw that I like, mind you not impressed with George Gently he should go back to being Judge John Deed. Ellie :D

Well, I'm 57 and I'm a guy and I feel similar things about Sharon Stone. It isn't her sexiness either. I think she has a very attractive face, and voice, and from what I've seen in the movies her attitudes aren't so bad either. When I was younger I loved Ann Margret, Jane Fonda and some others. I don't think you're a dreamy girl. If you are, then I'm a dreamy guy. Whats wrong with that ?
@ellie333 (21016)

Hi Bluepatch I know what you are saying, it is just something about them eh! Thank you for sharing. I think we all have these little secret crushes but not all admit to them eh! LOL. Ellie :D

Hi Guybrush, yes a voice can do that too eh, I remember years ago there was this guy who worked at a company we dealt with and all us girls used to want to take the cool because hos voice was so sexy, then he came to work for us and our illusions were shattered, the man didn't fit the voice, ah well.

Hey there ellie333, I think it is Ok to have a crush now and then. However, i think the way a teenager and an adult reacts to a crush differs as that a teenager will get over-excited over it and if it's a celebrity then they might colelct stuffs about the celebity and if the crush is a real-life person that they meet then they might try and get into a relationship with the person. I think in your case, as long as it does not become to obsessive then I think you will be just fine. ^.^

I smiled a secretive smile to myself when I read this. Several years back I watched the movie, The Ninth Gate w Johnny Depp. The movie is about some very OLD/Satanist books. Since I collect books, read and dabble in writing, this is a fascinating movie to me. But, Johnny Depp looked so good in this movie to me that I was almost daydreaming about him . My s/o is also a writer and we discussed this and he made me laugh by saying it was all about the books. Nope, it was the way Johnny Depp looked in that movie and I know it. Wow, thanks... it's time to watch it again!

Ellie, As long as my eyes are working, I am going to look at a handsome man. It doesn't mean I am being unfaithful to my man any more than when he looks at another woman, right? Hey, doesn't it make you feel good when someone else is looking at what is yours?

Ellie that's perfectly normal I guess. We all are teenagers at some corner of our heart and that makes our lives so amusing! I did have and still have crushes on some local stars. At times it feels childish. But you know what - that makes me very much charged up and happy. Smiles...

When I was younger I had crushes like this, since I have married my second husband I just have no interest in any of the other guys. I dont know if its a silly thing maybe your in need of something that isnt being fulfilled at home.

I think it is great that you have a crush and age really shouldn't matter. I have not had any crushes on anyone recently since I have been married for thirteen years now this month. I used to have crushes on people that I knew would never happen too though. I think that is just natural.
