Is it normal that i've only had two serious crushes in my life?

I'm 19 and I've never had a significant other. Right now, I have a serious crush on this one person and I realized that I haven't felt this way in almost 6 years. I've been attracted superficially or briefly to others, but these two times were the only ones that I consider serious crushes where I can't seem to stop thinking about the other person. How normal is this?

(Also, anyone have any tips on getting over crushes? I know it will never work out with this person. It's killing me...)

    I was thinking exactly the same thing, in exactly the same situation as you except I'm 17, just means you know what you want I guess

    As one bloke to another, it's much better to live a life of regret than one of wondering what might have been. Try and make it work at least, I know it's harder than it sounds but you'll be doubtful in years to come if you don't do anything.

    1) get with them
    or
    2) stop torturing yourself

    I'd go with 1

    Sorry to hear mate, I've been in 'love' with someone I will never be with for the last 4 years. It fucking sucks. Although I have no suggestions on how you can overcome it, I can assure you that you are not the only one in this shit situation. Hope for the best, take each day as it comes. Goodluck!
