No. Still trying to get Donny Osmond to notice me.

And they call it puppy love…

Dutchess_III's avatar

Oh I guess they’ll never know…. I always thought that was a dumb song. Of course “they” know.

canidmajor's avatar

Not if they were like me, I never knew.

Not really. At 65 I’ve been STILL trying to make a go of a relationship that began in the 6th grade with the girl that became my 1st wife. I’m just beginning to accept that her various physical and emotional problems make it impossible for us to have a healthy relationship, but that crush still remains.

smudges's avatar

I have fond memories of them, but the actual crushes are long gone.

HP's avatar

Outgrown? You mean do I understand that she must certainly no longer “fit” me? Yes I at least suspect as much.

Have I outgrown a crush?
No. I still have feelings for everyone I cared for. #NoCure.

Had no choice. Susan Hayward and Sophia Loren are both long gone.

I can’t really answer this question yet :(

Dutchess_III's avatar

Oh @SABOTEUR. I am so sorry.

WhyNow's avatar

I was never crushed. My shrink said I was emotionally detached. What?
I just blame my father! Yes I do.

It was my Second Grade Teacher. She is dead now.

janbb's avatar

I’ve moved on. Right now my current crush is Austin Butler who played Elvis in the movie. Do you think he’s into old ladies?

rebbel's avatar

@Nomore_Tantrums Sophia Loren is alive and kicking.

chyna's avatar

@janbb Yes, I’m certain he is!

janbb's avatar

@chyna I don’t mind sharing him.

Nomore_Tantrums's avatar

@rebbel Thanks for the clarification. Thought I had read online somewhere that she had passed on a few years ago.

rebbel's avatar

Austin is in to “old ladies”, but not in to threesomes.

janbb's avatar

@rebbel I wasn’t planning for at the same time. Do you think I’m kinky?

Second question: how do you have that information???

Love_my_doggie's avatar

Bobby Sherman? Well, I still think he was cute, and his photo brings back sweet memories of my first crush.

chyna's avatar

^I had a huge crush on him too!

Veronica Lake was my first celebrity crush when “I Married a Witch” was broadcast in the UK in 1958. I watched the film a few years back on YouTube and I was disappointed when the spell she had cast over me didn’t work anymore.

smudges's avatar

<3 Bobby Sherman (buck teeth and all!) I actually tried to call Hollywood to talk to him. so much for that!

Dutchess_III's avatar

I am giggling y’all!

I’ll fight you for Bobby Sherman girls!

WhyNow's avatar

At least Tom Jones had this…

Oooooh, Bobby Sherman! <3 <3 <3

rebbel's avatar

@janbb Kinky, but monogamous (being a penguin and all…)!

2. From a very trustworthy, yet questionable source…

Jons_Blond's avatar

Yes. I wiped my hands clean of Scott Baio and Ricky Schroder once they fell down the Trump hole.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Tom Jones was old @WhyNow. Ew.

smudges's avatar

^^ He also wasn’t cool! Ewww!

Dutchess_III's avatar

Ya he was. In a certain kind of way. “Whoa ah whoa ah whoa.”

smudges's avatar

He was only cool to un-cool people, which excluded my friends. 8D

Dutchess_III's avatar

He was cool to the Old Generation.

smudges's avatar

^^ two thumbs up

WhyNow's avatar

I first met Tom Jones while watching the movie “Mars Attacks” hilarious!

Dutchess_III's avatar

How did you meet him @WhyNow?

WhyNow's avatar

^A figure of speech. I saw him for the first time in that movie… and then
looked him up and listened to his music. Met him… an old south expression
I picked up listening to Delta Blues music.

WhyNow's avatar

Mars Attacks! a movie by Tim Burton is chock full of great names
and side splitting funny!

Dutchess_III's avatar

2 different Tom Jones. 2 different generations. Above we were talking about this Tom Jones..

WhyNow's avatar

A great track! An ode to the 70’s I’m guessing.

Dutchess_III's avatar

60s, more like it. Like I said he was OLD ew.

chyna's avatar

He’s now 82, so yeah, I would say he was popular in the 60’s.

WhyNow's avatar

Was it the chest hair?

Dutchess_III's avatar

No. It was his AGE. OLD. Ew

smudges's avatar

“Oh? What age was that?”

“Old age!” hehehehe

Dutchess_III's avatar

Probably 30s and 40s. OLD ew!
