Is it normal to have a crush on someone for over a year?

Is it normal to be in...well I'm not sure what it is, but I'd like to believe it's only a crush...that has been going on for well over a year. Not just a normal, maybe when you see him you smile sort of crush, but the kind where I've went out with him three times now...three times broken up with no other reason than he has some mental issues. Is it weird that he could be a total sociopath and go on a killing spree and I wouldn't care? (Yes, I'm being literal here. He's that type of person honestly.) The kind of "crush" that any time I see him I'm instantly put in a better mood whether he's being a jerk or not. To fully accept all his weird/creepy/mean habits without so much as a glance? I guess is comes down to is it normal to have a total disregard to what your "crush" does and like them anyway?

Is It Normal?

  • I had a crush on a girl from year 8-11. During that time she went out with and got cheated on by a girl with the same first name as me - very annoyed
    I asked her out on the last day of term, and as she stood there gawping at me in awkward silence I fell backwards out of a window into a bush.
    Clever.

  • yes I think it is normal, my ex boyfriend was completely obsessed with me, never let me do anything, was very jelous. And as ashamed as I am to admit it..I'm still not over him, and I have no clue why.

  • It's not that he's completely a bad person...but he has his moments when, I'm not sure, but he kinda loses himself...He has never done anything bad to me however, and though he's always saying he doesn't care (care bout his little brother/his mom etc.) He takes care of his little brother a lot and tries to keep him in line (His moms not the best in the world...I'll leave it at that) Other times though, when I'm just texting him late at night, he starts talking about killing (in detail) or he's drinking or doing drugs or something. A few times I've even had to talk him out of suicide...He's a nice guy....just with some major mental issues. He does make me happy...when he's okay. He's probably one of only two people who can make me smile...and put up with my constant sarcasm. :/

  • So I didn't read the whole story but it sounds like an obsession to me. I've been there. I had an obsession with a girl for well over a year before and it can be painful. Either talk to her or forget about her. Out if sight out of mind

  • Honey I think thats an obsession not a crush... maybe you should talk to someone about this... I went through a VERY similar thing with the first guy I ever dated and he was a total duche to me... once I finally realized I have to live for myself it dawned on me that I couldnt possibly ever be happy with him and if you're not happy with someone you couldnt possibly make them happy...
