    Have you ever developed a crush on your friend's crush after they told you about it?

    Like, when they tell you, do you start thinking about how they could possibly like that person and then develop your own liking?

    mhmm..

    Hmm...luckily, my friend's tastes, so far, have been different from mine, so that's never happened to me yet.

    But I can see how it might happen. It's like, you needed someone else to tell you all the good things about the crush, before you realized they were right and also began to admire the same person.

    hmm...It's like getting annoyed at someone after a friend has pointed out why they dislike that person :p ...

    but gaaah..that's a toughie..because..."technically" ..your friend has expressed interest, and has confided in you..and would probably take it really hard if you suddenly were like..."omgosh...I have a crush on the same person" .... haha...if it was a serious crush..then it'd just be awkward ne?

    well by human nature, people mostly desire for things they don't have. especially when they have to fight for it. at the moment your friend tells you about why he/she has a crush on the person. then you would start to think and believe in the words of your friend said. you would start to feel if you don't make a move, then your friend will. and you would feel the urge to develop a interest in the crush.
    this is all mostly from watching too much tv.

    haha.....movies, dramas, books and TV all tell us interesting and educational lessons .. :p ..

    you'd be surprised at how intuitive/sensitive someone can become just by learning from these medias and imagining ..lol...

    but yeah...if you were to develop a crush AFTER your friend told you about their's....you should wonder whether the feelings are real...where they came from (i'm assuming it was sudden..lol..and not a dormant crush you've always had) ...and maybe...rationalizing it with the mind and logic will help?

    omg, I know exactly how you feel! One of my friends is currently going through this huge dispute with her boyfriend, and the other day she was just telling me about how "lucky" I am that I don't have any boy problems. So I'm sitting there giving her this weird look, while she just rambles on and on about what a jerk her bf's been as of late.

    I guess it's kind of like having siblings. When you're an only child, everyone thinks you're lucky because you get spoiled and you don't have to ever share anything with anybody, but on the other hand, being an only child can sometimes make you feel lonely, and because you're the only kid, your parents have really high expectations of you. -shrug It's the same with everything I guess... all has its pros and cons. But I really don't mind being single though! I'm still in high school. There will be plenty of more mature, hotter looking guys for me to chose from once I get to college. :p Don't worry, your time will come too! Good things come to those who wait *wink*

    question is, how long do we have to wait? You can only wait for so long before you burst. But lucky me, I have a high tolerance rate, not as high as I would like, since I lose my temper easily, but high none the less. Especially since I feel that some Highschool boys are idiots that are quite immature. Not all, but some. The others, are the highly intellectual kids who would hurt my brain trying to think of what they're actually talking about. Then there are the ones who are smart, not as smart as the other ones, but incredibly rude. But then there are the exceptions that are just.. great and you could totally hang out with, like your friends. This is why I dont feel a need to have anyone and I brush off most of my crushes and can usually find something I don't like about them.

    *To the above descriptions of boys, don't take it too seriously, of course I'm missing some other kinds of guys and I'm not thinking it through. Those are my opinions but I'm not saying that everyone is one of those. I understand that my descriptions are not correct, I'm just generalizing and I realize that there are subcategories.

    Me, I'm not an only child. But I can be considered one, with my siblings being much older than I am. But yes, being an only child does make you feel lonely. And I sometimes wish I had someone to hangout with more, since I don't get the chance to hangout outside of school with my friends too often due to their busy schedules.

    Yeah. That has definitely happened to me. It's difficult though, knowing that your best friend has a crush on her. The appropriate thing to do is not to think bout it though (and not to make a move on her) especially if you care about your friend. Even till now, I still like her but I don't want to make my best friend uncomfortable. So I end up telling myself not to think about it. I really do think about how it would be like if we were together though. >< ahh gotta stop!

    Do what I do, try to think of something bad about them that does not appeal to you, then try to forget.

    Well my friends and I have developed likings for the same guy but it was developed at the same time. And we both just thought he was cute and nothing more so it was all cool. We gossiped about him every time we say him walking in the hallway but we never had intentions of going out with him or any of that kinda thing. I guess part of the reason for that was because we didn't actually KNOW him. lols... Anyways my friends and I never let boys get in the way of things -sweat.

    Attempt to cut the crush into 2 halves, and whoever loves him/her more will let the other person keep him/her. Forgot the weirdo who did that

    I find it kinda funny how you're never sure you want something until it's too late... like take candy for example... you say you don't want it, but when you see other people eating it and telling you how good it is, you realize that you actually did want some candy, but then it's too late because it's already all gone... It works the same way with people. My sister's friend is currently in this sort of dilemma. She was never 100% sure that she liked this guy until recently when a friend of hers told her how she thinks the guy is cute and how she's planning to ask him out.

    It wasn't until her friend told her that did she realize that she does like him due to that feeling in her heart. But, she can't really do anything about it now because that would mean having to compete with her friend. She can only blame herself for finding out her true feelings when it's already too late.
