Impossible Crushes

I think most of you will agree with me that everyone has had a period in their life where they begin crushing on the impossible. Celebrities, singers, or even characters in animation are people that are so far away from us, yet we somehow develop crushes on them.
Is anybody here brave enough to reveal theirs?
I once had a brief crush on Meg Ryan. I think it was in the movie
Sleepless in Seattle that I began to fancy her in her role. She was also a darn good actress of her time, so that fact alone was included in my admiration of her.

Delta Goodrem for me. She's a positive role model, great singer, good looking and pretty modest and innocent compared to many celebrities. (She's 21)
Here's a fairly recent pic (after she survived cancer)
(at 17, before she got cancer)

I wouldn't call it a crush, mind you, but I have always really liked Jennifer Connelly. Especially for her role in Dark City (not a movie for the younger set).

I was infatuated with Krystal Meyers for a little while after seeing her in a concert with Kutless and Disciple. She reminded me of Kate Beckinsale in Underworld the way she would spin around while playing the electric guitar. My infatuation was so superficial... which is probably why it only lasted a few weeks...

It is still one of my life's dreams to play high stakes loser-wears-a-bunny-suit-and-solicits-pedestrians pool with Miho Obana. The questions is, would I want to win, or lose?

I had an impossible crush, but it was not with any celebrities.
Do not ask any questions.

"So Gannondorf, what about you? any se-ecret crushes?"
"Me and Nabooru used to be an item, but she turned traitorous. I imprisoned her in a statue. Now she is nothing to me. Ah, whenever i think about it i just... I Just..."
*Ganondorf cries*
"Oh, whenever i'm upset i eat!....i'm sorry, i lost control...."
*not admitting any crushes especially not in 10th grade at summer camp...*

yay for legendary frog flashplayer references!
Ganondorf: I have an idea that's to die for... let's do the CHICKEN DANCE! (music comes out of nowhere and everyone dances)
Link: There you have it. Undeniable proof that Ganondorf will smite us one day...
yeah, i'm sorry... i got a little off track from this thread... any other celebrity crushes i had, such as liv tyler or nichole kidman, lasted way shorter than the one i already mentioned...

I had a crush on this one girl from church for nearly three years, but then I figured it was impossible because I could never muster up the courage to talk to her. ^_^;
Even though my parents knew her parents and I've been to her house a couple of times, it still was impossible. >.<

That's not always a bad thing...
Sean Connery, for example, has just gotten better looking as he's gotten older.

I've been crushing on this guy at church. We've been friends since as long as I can remember, but I can't find the courage to tell him.

Same here, but I still like her.
As for celecrity crushes, I used to like Lindsay Lohan but then....
um....how I can put this in a way that will not insult anyone?
No, I cannot tell you why.
Orlando Bloom is not hot.

Hahahaha! Yes. Yes I have. I'm pretty sure the first one was Link. Then...Serge, from Chrono Cross. I used to think Goku was pretty cute. Wow, don't ask, I don't even know why.
Can't forget Squall from Final Fantasy VIII. Oh, and Kenshin.
Hahaha, and that's just the animated crowd. XD

Almost 29 years ago (sheesh, before most of you were born, that's depressing...), I had a crush on the smartest girl in the school. Big-time crush. It started in 9th Grade when I saw her performing in the school's production of Lil' Abner -- that's what got me interested in working stage crew in musicals. I learned she fenced (the sport), so I took up fencing at the local college. She always was on the Honor Roll -- before that moment, I'd never been. So I decided to improve my grades (getting on the Honor Roll every quarter after that -- "now she'll notice me" I thought. Silly me.).
By 10th Grade, we shared a couple classes, and although we didn't sit close together, I generally couldn't keep my mind off her. I don't think she really knew I existed before then. (Mind you, I'd never had a girlfriend before, never been on a date, never kissed a girl...) We had a few chances to talk and joke, but I really wasn't in her circle of friends, so I stayed on the outside.
Finally, it was opening night for our musical (Pajama Game, I'm really dating myself, aren't I?). She was to perform the Carol Haney dance number that opens the second act. Right before she's to go onstage, she comes over to me (I'm on stage crew), says "Wish me luck!", and kisses me -- full kiss, on the lips. Then, just as quickly, she's off to do her number. I don't remember much more about that night, but as you might guess, I never forgot that moment. (Yes, I suppose in a technical sense, that was my First Kiss.)
The following year, I was looking forward to working with her again on Fiddler on the Roof, but she had a falling out with the director over her casting in the chorus instead of a lead role and dropped out of the production. We had a couple honors courses together in junior year, but she decided to skip her senior year and went right to college. I never saw her again after that.
The last I heard, she's a lawyer in New York state. We have a couple mutual friends we keep in touch with, so every once in a while I hear about her. To this day, I think she is completely unaware that I ever had a crush (can you call a 2-year interest in a girl a crush? infatuation? stalking? I digress...).
However, I can't forget her influence on me. I started studying in earnest, and became one of the better students in High School, then in undergrad and grad school. I continued fencing long after she'd quit, and lettered in the sport in my Freshman year at Carnegie-Mellon U. I worked in musicals and community theater through my college years, and still pitch in to help as a "techie" from time to time.
I never had that sort of a crush on a person again. Was it love? Not really, not as I understand love today. And to be honest, I don't think we would have been very compatible as a couple, if such a thing had been possible. But there is something about putting that "special person" on a pedestal that can have a real effect on you.
So, there. TMI, I know, but just for the record...

Hear, hear. NOT that I have a crush on him, mind you, but he is pretty darn hot for an old guy.
I didn't think it was tmi, ClosetOtaku. I thought it was very interesting.

I have had crushes like that, but once I realized they were marketed for their looks (somewhere around 13...) I kept myself from doing that.
The most recent was-
...
Jake Gylenhaal.
Laugh.

it was a very short fling, but for the 2 1/2 hours or so of the movie Meet Joe Black, I had a crush on Brad Pitt. XD (and i can't even stand pretty boy actors usually! it was the eyes)
and there was a dude in one of my classes. but it was more like a 'he's really freakin cute' realization than a crush.
and then there's the couple long-distance crushes from my past. *sigh* gave up on those. those hurt. anyways...^_^;; i have a fun track record..
