freeindeed Posted June 30, 2015 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? I saw one of your teen crushes at a Def Leppard concert this past weekend. He aged pretty well. :) And he can still rock! My biggest teen crush was Bret Michaels (Poison.) He still sings and does some TV. He still looks GOOD!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mothersweets Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Wow, this thread is bringing back the memories! Pre-teen crushes - Little Joe (but now that I'm an adult, Adam is the bomb) from Bonanza Shaun Cassidy - da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron! Leif Garrett - sigh Teen years had me crushin' on the bassist from Def Leppard, Rick Savage. and I think almost everyone I knew had a thing for Chachi. Oh! and totally agreeing with an earlier poster who mentioned Kristy McNichol - she was so cool! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 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. Wesley was cute, even with the perfectly smooth dome hair :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then when Newsies came out Christian Bale. How could I forget Christian Bale?! Oversight. Major oversight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrar Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I was totally into Wil Wheaton in middle school. I was secretly obsessed with TNG and would stay up super late at night to watch it. Dh has been watching every Star Trek ever while he's "at work" (aka, sitting on the sofa in the middle of the night... his job is weird). He's about to finish TNG and start DS9. Sometimes I join him and we've been laughing over the dopiness of Wesley Crusher. Last night was a Wesley episode. Someone asked Wesley what he was passionate about. Dh was talking over it and was like, "Well, I'm really into board games..." Lol. All my other crushes were fictional. Like Garion from the Belgariad.

Minerva Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 My high school World Literature teacher. I still feel a bit swoony when I think about him. A few years after I graduated I ran into him at a concert. He was with his equally swoony boyfriend. I like to think that's why he wasn't in love with me. It probably wasn't because of my terrible essay on Zorba the Greek. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had never seen more than a few episodes of DS9 and just watched it again, we are three from the end of the last season. It is, hands down, the best acted and plotted of the franchise. Moving in arcs instead of being episodal let them actually develop characters. And telling a war from a series of character vignettes? Awesome. I'm going to be sad to be done this week.

I'm sort of looking forward to getting to it with him. I didn't sit in for many of TOS episodes, but the last few months with TNG have been fun.

I've always had a thing for drummers. In my pre-teen years, I was maybe just a little obsessed with Jack Wild. (Brownie points to the first person who can tell me who he was.)
