    It is absolutely normal and can be healthy to cope. There's no harm in it, as long as you don't go too crazy with it!
    Ive had a lot of fictional crushes up until i got a boyfriend, it really helped to find comfort in the characters through the waiting.

    I had a crush on Ron Weasley from the HP books for YEARS. I was heavily bullied and buried myself in books. I thought he'd come sweep me away LOL I also had a huge crush on other literary characters. It's totally normal as long as you realize it's not reality and that you find qualities like in those characters attractive because they're based off of real personalities. Just don't get carried away and you're fine. Maybe writing smutty fanfics will help. It helped me lol

    Thanks for clarifying that the video game character isn't real.

    Also while its half-normal for half-lived people like you and me, it's not good and you should stop.

      I am sorry for the forced half life pun.

    I think it is pretty normal meaning that it happens to a lot of people. Still I don't think it's mentally healthy and it shouldn't really happen if you're living a fulfilling life and interacting with real people... Maybe you should focus more on looking for relations with real people and socializing more! I'm not judging anyone here, similar things have happened to me in the past and I understand, I'm just trying to give good advice. Cheers!

    I wonder if the OP has a crush on Mario from the original Donkey Kong from 1981?

        Oh jesus christ hahah!
        Yeah THAT thing sure would induce feelings of romance.

        If this were the early 80's, it could have been Coily (some purple annpoing-ass snake) from the game Qbert
