10 Crushes Almost Everyone Has at Some Point !

Romantic crushes are a normal part of growing up. We ‘fall in love’ or idolize people around us. These emotional fantasies can last a few hours, days  or months. Everyone has them from time to time as small children and even teens. Here are ten crushes that almost everyone experiences at one time during their lives.


Teacher – The teacher crush can happen at any age and multiple times. Kindergarten boys often fall in love with their teachers. Teenager’s fall for the young new teachers just out of college. Even college students get crushes on their professors.


Babysitter – This is usually a little boy who adores the pretty teenage girl who comes and plays with him and reads him stories at night. He has her sole attention, why shouldn’t he adore her?


Parent – Most pre-schoolers make it known that they plan to marry their mom or dad. There is even some jealousy at times regarding the attentions of the same gender parent towards their sweetheart.


Sibling’s friends – Little sister’s might not admit it, but the pestering they do of their older brothers is often aimed at getting the attention of the brother’s friends. Of course, it works both ways. Boys often fall for their sister’s girlfriends, as well.


Neighbor – There always seems to be a neighbor boy or girl who seems to have enough mystery wrapped around them to attract the heart of one of the other kids. Usually, it is a new kid on the block whom the others haven’t gotten to know well enough to treat with disdain.


Pop star – Every generation has its teenage idols, a few for the girls and few for the boys. They work well for fantasy romances and usually don’t last long.


Movie star – The stars are even more likely to garner some heart throbs from their fans, especially if portrayed as romantic leading men or women.


TV star – Small screens create just as big of stars these days as the big screens do. There are plenty of television stars who have fan clubs full of devoted girls and boys; some of those stars even dress in purple dinosaur suits.


Best friend’s sibling – When you’re over at their house a lot, your best friend’s siblings will either be an irritant or a potential crush. If it turns into a crush, watch out for mom and pop, they might not be as keen on having you around.


Athletic star – You don’t have to be an actor to attract the attention of the opposite sex. Athlete’s manage to do that too. You don’t even have to be a pro athlete; high school or college uniforms work just as well to attract the eyes of fellow students.

Five Ways to Be a Better Girlfriend - Part 1

How can you avoid the mistakes of past relationships? How can you maintain your sense of yourself within a new relationship? What do men really want in a partner ?

1. To avoid the mistakes of past relationships, you need to get clear on the patterns and the lessons they brought you. To help you get clear, try this exercise. Take a piece of paper, and across the top write the names of the last three men with whom you’ve had significant romantic relationships. Underneath their name, write a list of the reasons you were attracted to them when you first met. Underneath that list, write a list of the reasons why the relationship ended. (This exercise is adapted from Hindsight by Maryanne Comaroto.) Look for similarities in the relationships to find clues about your romantic patterns.

Are you attracted to successful, flashy men who treat you with disrespect? Maybe you’re attracted to nice guys who end up boring you to tears. Whatever it is, see if you can figure out your romantic pattern. Once you see the pattern, you can figure out the lesson. The lesson is typically found when you say, “I’ll never let that happen to me again.”

Whatever “that” is for you is your lesson. If you haven’t had that epiphany yet, ask yourself this: “what do I feel when I’m first with a new partner? How can I give that same feeling to myself?”

2. Most relationships fail, or at least flounder into tedium, because the partners lose their sense of identity outside the relationship.

Women identify with who they are as a lover, wife, and mother and forget who they are as an individual. To avoid this in your next relationship, be sure to maintain excellent contact with your friends, and encourage your man to do the same. Spend time with your friends at least once a week.

When you meet his friends, look for common ground so that you’ll feel comfortable encouraging him to hang out with them. Introduce him to your friends to lessen the “either/or” dynamic that tends to happen with new romance. And be sure to make time each week for your favorite activity, even if he doesn’t share your enthusiasm. It’s absolutely fine for you to have separate interests; in fact, it’s very healthy.
