Is it normal that i have (and hate) having girl-crushes?

I'm 21, female and I absolutely hate having "girl-crushes" - you know the non-sexual admiration type crush. It's like they drive me crazy. Maybe I just have too much of a big ego to enjoy them, I don't know. They just make me mad, anxious and shy - to the point that I avoid them and just end up looking like a snob. Argh!

Not going to lie it kind of effects my friendship with girls to the point that I have WAY more guy friends than chick friends.

Ps. I'm 100% straight ;)

    Why is it that you have girl crushes in the first place, as an outsider looking in I would say that you ending comment of "I'm 100% straight" says quite a bit about a fear rather than about who you actually are. I am not saying that you are gay or even bi-sexual, I honestly think that you are so affraid of being seen or feeling as though you may be bi-sexual that you have an irrational fear of women. I have had this conversation with quite a few people both male and female (I have a degree in psychology and council many people in this type of subject), and in most cases I find that a person who throws out that they are 100% straight tends to be more affraid than anything else, especially if they grew up in a religious setting or in a very conservative household.

    I am a bi-sexual female. I hated the thought of it at first but all it took was one kiss from my best mate and now we are engaged and happy.

    i think its pretty normal. but you might be in denial of being attracted to girls and maybe you should try to satisfy your crush? i am a bisexual girl, i admit it. but it took me a while to come to liking it and accepting it. maybe you should experiment with your attractions and see where it gets you.

    This sounds like your Jealous. Not necessarily of the women for who they are but of certain attributes you might find inhances her as a person and you run away from trying to inhance yourself. Either that or you might not be confronting your feelings towards other girls. Either way it's perfectly normal.

    It drives me nuts too, not to mention that I end up ignoring the girl because of being shy. I feel bad afterwards.

    Hiya,

    I have them too, every couple of years. It's normal. I find men easier to chat to because they share my interests. To be honest, most other women are pretty boring unless they're similar to me. Maybe you don't have any female friends because you're afraid of how you might feel towards them??

    If your crush is in a film/band, as mine usually are, just call whatever they're in one of your favourites, & leave it at that. & make sure you aren't found out unless you can take some teasing. If you mention the subject of your crush, choose your words carefully. I can't bear one of mine any more but that's no loss to me because their music wasn't actually that good.
