Love: Today, I've actually developed a crush on a guy I never intended...

Today, I've actually developed a crush on a guy I never intended to crush on, and also can't have. For one he's married and utterly devoted to his wife. And even if that weren't true, he's so far out of my league I need binoculars to see him. And to top it all of? He's fictional. FML

Today, I realized I have a crush on one of my co-workers. I’m married. I would never ever act on it but it’s really scaring me that I have these feelings and can’t make them go away. FML

Today, I'm in a long-term relationship with a woman I love to bits, but I have a crush on a coworker. I've tried to brush it off, but it's only getting stronger. The worst part? I think she likes me too. FML

Today, I found out the guy I had a huge crush on back in college, and still think of every day, actually did like me back. Except I’ve been married for nearly 8 years to someone else. FML

Today, I came to the unhappy realization that I’m living such a cliche. I’m completely in love with a totally unavailable man. He’s funny, smart, and drop dead gorgeous. There’s no way I could ever tell him how I truly feel. He’s gay and I’m a woman. We’ll never be more than friends. FML

Today, I've had a crush on a guy for a while - a friend of mine knows this. I finally decided to find out once and for all if there was any chance with him, so I drove to his house, armed with a home cooked meal and wine, only to find the very friend I confided in was at his house. It turns out they are now an item. FML

Today, I realized the extent of my crush on one of my employees. I found myself cropping our picture out of the staff photo to see what we would look like as a couple. FML

Today, after falling head over heels for a guy I've been crushing on for the past few months; I discovered that he's gay, dislikes children and I stand absolutely no chance. This isn't even the first time this has happened. I have the worst gaydar. FML

Still a better a love story than Alien vs. Predator

Today, the girl who I had a desperate crush on in high school 25 years ago, and who would never go out with me, told me that she was actually head over heels in love with me, but was so cripplingly shy that she couldn't say yes. She's divorced now. I'm married. FML

If he's fictional and you are fantasising about him then his wife won't mind.

Am I the only one who knows who she means? James Alexander Malcolm Mackenzie Fraser, protagonist of Outlander. My fiancée is fond of reminding me that I'm a six foot multilingual ginger trained in sword fighting and prone to both trouble and smirking. If it weren't for the fact that I'm a tattooed musician and singer, I'd apparently be him. And SHE is a curly haired brat who works in the medical field, so... yeah, we hear a LOT of comments from friends about that series/show.

I've been a fan for 20 years, my name is Claire, Im a nurse with very fair skin and brown hair, except it's straight and I have hazel eyes. When I went to Scotland and Ireland 15 years go, I jumped through every stone circle I could find, and tormented my family with 'Claire and Jamie were here!' at various points. The books were at every tourist stop back then.

Look at the nickname. JAMMF clearly stands for James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser. It's Jamie Fraser from Outlander. No worries, girl. You are not alone. He is ridiculously attractive. <3
