Well, if we're going to admit to crushes on book characters, I'll
chime in with Johnny of The Outsiders.  :--)  I remember asking
*someone* (my mom or a teacher or another adult or friend ... I can't
say for sure) if it was weird to have a crush on a fictional
character.  They told me it was.  Probably right.

Like some of you, I mainly crushed on real life people -- classmates.
 In fact, I am Queen of Unrequited Loves -- a whole string of them
from elementary school through law school.

loves  have depended entirely upon the person's personality.  I'm
serious-- cute guys with no aura or presence do absolutely nothing for
me but turn me off.

LOL!  My crushes & my husband do all seem to have one thing in common:
slender build (tall or short didn't matter, hair & eye color didn't
matter .... but I can't think of a single non-slender type guy that I
seriously liked in any romantic way).  My first jr high crush who
broke my heart was a blue-eyed redhead (hmmm.... does this affect my
feelings about Ron perhaps?).
