Girl Crushes

I don't think girl crushes are always sexual. I have always been rather too fond of men, and lost my head over them, so I'm not given to Sapphic lusts, but I do so agree with OP about Serena Campbell. I would love to share a bottle of wine and some chocs with her and have a girly giggle - she's so twinkly and rather adorable.
Sexy? No. She invokes in me the same lovely warm cuddly feeling I get when I think of babies, not the swooping, soaring, visceral attraction I would feel for an attractive man.
Not that I feel that way much nowadays - blokes my age are, on the whole, rather awful, and I'm sure they feel the same about me as I've reached the age of 'oldbaggishness".

My first girl crush was Alesha Dixon when she was a contestant on Strictly. It wasn't sexual, I just thought she was fantastic. She looked amazing and came over as great fun. In fact, thinking about it, I only really have girl crushes when Strictly is on! It was Karen Hardy when she danced with Ramps and Ola Jordan when she danced with Kenny Logan and Chris Hollins. When I saw Natalie Lowe dance with Ian Waite on the Strictly Pro tour, she became my favourite and I still have a little bit of a crush on her. I don't mind admitting when I find a woman attractive. In general I think women's bodies are much nicer than men's!

I definitely had boy crushes and sort of girl crushes but not sexual - just finding someone really attractive in appearance and personality - trying to copy their "look" and mannerisms, etc.

I actually haven't found many men attractive for a long time - apart from my husband and a very few exceptions. I think women are much more attractive in personality and looks and I feel more comfortable with them (perhaps that's due to being an only child and going to an all-girls school). I agree about Serena in Holby City.

My crush was on our PE teacher at grammar school, she was a very sporty young woman who wore shorts and a t-shirt all the time in school, never ever saw her in a skirt. She was Miss Cunningham.

I had a crush on my teacher when I was about 11.
Not a sexual one. I just thought of her as my heroine. ?

Yes, several of us had a crush on the young gym mistress (all girls' school). We worshipped the ground she walked on - literally!!

Then the boys at the grammar school became more appealing.
