candmforever 901 Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Did you have one? Who was it? And where are they now? I had eyes for only one...ever.... Richard Dean Anderson (MacGyver). Holy-extreme-teenage-crush, batman! How I loved to stare at that man. LOL! I think Joe Elliot (Def Leppard) might have been a close second. Lately I googled Richard Dean Anderson and was SHOCKED at how he's let himself go. When he was on Stargate, I thought...Oh he's aging well, with his distinguished gray hair and chiseled face . Now, I didn't even recognize him if I hadn't double checked the caption. Very disappointed and just wanna remember the gold old MacGyver days. :001_wub: you? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Hm. Don't know if I had one. The closest was probably Jonathan Brandis, when I was in third or fourth grade. Too much Seaquest and Neverending Story for me :lol: He died too young :( Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Julie Smith 5,757 Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 James Burke from his show connections. Hue just seemed so nice and smart and funny. And I'm not that old. I remember watching the end of one episode where he featured a computer and how he had to tell the viewers what it was, and how one day they would have them for home use. At the time I had one the other room. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pawz4me 38,840 Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 David Cassidy. Although I don't think it was so much a crush as it was that I wanted his hair.

creekland 41,102 Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Maybe Bob Crane from reruns of Hogan's Heroes, but in general, if I looked at a guy, it's because he was on a cool horse. The most notable was Ian Miller on Big Ben (who did some shows I was at in his pre-Olympics days). That horse could jump(!). I drooled watching them.

Onceuponatime 14,294 Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Another John Denver obsessor here. After he died, I couldn't hear a song by him without crying. I also adored Cary Grant and Sean Connery. Gordon McRae singing in Oklahoma could make me swoon. I didn't realize till I was much older that all these men were around the age of my father, it tempered the adoration somewhat. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bluegoat 28,605 Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 When I was a pre-teen it I am embarrassed to say I had a thing for Corey Hart (Canadian pop star) and Arnold Schwarzenegger. When I was older I branched out. I had a crushes on Steve Earle, Fidel Castro, Jeremy Brett, Peter Ustinov, Sean Connery, Gordon Tootoosis. I'm sure there were others too. I could never really see the appeal of teenage boys, or even one in their early 20's. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SKL 58,713 Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 I don't think I had one. I was so rebellious, I rebelled against the convention of teen crushes. When I was a young teen, all the "stars" were doing the androgynous thing with girly hair and I just couldn't get into the whole "isn't he cute" scene. Men aren't supposed to be cute. I had some crushes on some IRL teachers though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sagira 450 Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Cary Elwes and Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones. Later I also had a crush on Pierce Brosnan's James Bond.

Too much Seaquest and Neverending Story for me :lol: He died too young :( Same here, except I was 14 when SeaQuest happened. Man, I loved that show. I so wanted to go live on a submarine and be JB's (geez, I can't even remember his character's name) girlfriend and work with dolphins. Even though it was about the cheesiest show in the universe. Hmm. I see it is up on youtube. Wonder if my kids would like it. I was pretty upset when he killed himself. Wil Wheaton was my first crush, when I was 7 and he was Wesley on Star Trek. I take it as proof that I'm inherently geek-oriented. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
