Is it an unspoken truth that everyone has a crush on their friends? (lemmy.world)

Or am I just the paragon saint of puppy love?

Seriously though, do y'all have a crush on each of your friends?

No, I have zero romantic feelings for any of my friends. I didn't even realize this was something that happens. I'm in my 30s if it matters.

I'm not sure but I'm curious if there is any difference between men and women. For example would women or men befriend more people they are attracted. Or would men or women simply become attracted to those they are close to.

Well I lived 20 years as a woman and nearly as many as a man, so take that for what it's worth. I don't find any of my friends sexually attractive and I have never developed romantic feelings for a friend.
