Crushing on a guy for extended periods of time?

I will crush on the same guy for the longest time before I even hint at having any interest in them. Of course my theory is if they were interested in me they would have expressed that in the beginning anyway, which leads me to conclude that they probably aren't if I'm still crushing on them after like 6 mos or longer. Sad and pathetic I know, to be a grown woman and be scared to tell a guy I like him for fear of being rejected. It's like I'd rather sit and over analyze everything, instead of just cutting to the chase and finding out faster. Now that I think about it I'm hurting myself more by dragging it out. Anyway, any other bull women do this?

I do this all the time! Although it's more from a fear of committing to the wrong person, than a fear of rejection. I'll crush for six months, just watching them and trying to discern the kind of person they are. Something untypical of a taurus, that tends to happen with me, is losing interest when I notice some character flaw. I had almost a year long crush on this pisces, who I did a 180 on so quick that it shocked even me. Not something I'm proud of but I can't deny it happens. However with my current boyfriend (Cancer sun), I fell for him before i even realized what was happening!

I understand what you're saying, but your situation sounds a bit different from mine. It sounds like the guys are at least expressing interest in you first and you're just being cautious with how you proceed with them...I could be wrong though. I have a guy friend who has said and done some questionable things, but he still hasn't asked me out on a date or even for coffee, so I figure it's safe to assume he's not interested. But I can't get over him..the conclusion I've come to is to just tell him..get rejected and then move on.
