A recent survey posted to the network has me wondering how many here have been here for a little while and HAVEN'T done anything more beyond platonic physical contact. I only wish to know how long you've been here if so. You don't need to elaborate unless you want to.

One more query.

Say you have a crush on someone who isn't here. And not just a tiny little fluttering of something but it's so ridiculously INTENSE that it's like a magnetic force draws you to them any time they're around. BUT you find yourself having similar feelings to someone who IS here. Maybe it's not as intense but you do really like them and think about doing similar things with them as the person from home. Even though you've barely done any of those things with anyone let alone had a crush before.

What do you do? Do you hold out hope that maybe the crush will just go away or that your crush from home will show up? Do you go for it and hope it doesn't ruin everything? Especially if you're unsure if they have any of the same feelings or if they might already be with someone else.

Well, when I was younger I had really strong feelings for this one guy I was sleeping with, and then I met this other male who had really strong feelings for me and I also really started to like him back.

The love I felt for the first guy went away over time, but I haven't stopped caring about him because he still means a lot to me as a friend. What you're going through here isn't exactly unique, but what you do with your feelings is entirely up to you.

You can keep waiting for the person you have a crush on where you're from to show up here or not take any partners until you're able to go home, or you can see where this new crush takes you and deal with things if your old crush ever shows up.
