Question Posted Wednesday January 17 2007, 1:16 am
Hey all I am a 15/f.
Ever since I started watching the T.V show Grey's Anatomy I have been kind of attacted to Kate Walsh (Addison). It's not in a (very)sexual way though, I guess I kind of admire her. But, it is more then that though because I don't want to be her, howeve,r I would like to meet her. I guess I look at her as kind of a mother- figure, because I am not all that close with my mom.
Kate Walsh is not the frist woman that I have felt this way about. I has been the same way with people that I know in person as well, like my middle-school counsoler (as well as a few other people).
So I guess I am not really sure what I am asking for, I guess I want to know if this is this werid? Would You call it a girl crush? Just Kind of helping me clarify my feelings would be great.
Thanks!

Ask yourself what is it that you feel about the woman (or women) you're attracted to, without any kind of prejudice, fears, or expectations. Just listen to your feelings, respecting and accepting them as a part of you and your life's journey. We feel to learn. People can't learn from the outside truths or other people's thoughts. Your being teaches itself by going through different kinds of feelings and emotions. If it is a sexual attraction that you feel, than in the future you might want to explore the feminine side of your nature that's interested in other women. But if it is the mother figure you're fascinated about and want to have in your life, then again, it is a good reason to explore, understand, and maybe even heal the relationship between you and your mother. So what you feel isn't bad at all. It's a perfect motivation to look within yourself and investigate yet unknown parts of your being. [ Lyssa's advice column | Ask Lyssa A Question ]
Sabine answered Wednesday January 17 2007, 9:15 am: I also did not get some of the things I needed from my mother and a close, caring relationship was one. She is not the type. So I have also developed 'mother'-like feelings toward other women. It's okay and it doesn't mean anything. Now that I'm a mother, I see myself on the other side of the equation. I totally want to mother Izzie's character. Of course, Katherine Heigl (like Kate Walsh) is smokin' hot to look at, but I don't feel the same way about her as I do my husband. It's different. Women are beautiful and it doesn't make us lesbians that we admire and desire that beauty. If you have ever fantasized about having sex with a woman, you may be farther on that side of the spectrum than you previously thought. I wish it were easy to find a mother-substitute. Fortunately, my mother-in-law gives me all of the nurturing and attention I need now. I hope you can find yours. If not, it doesn't hurt to have feelings that Kate Walsh is a maternal figure to you. It's not a girl-crush.

Imperialistic answered Wednesday January 17 2007, 2:31 am: Yep, it's a little girl crush. Women have them all the time. But it's different from what a crush on the opposite sex would be like.
Having a girl crush is like when you really want to be a persons friend. You like spending time with them but you're not close enough for your own satisfaction so you develop a crush.
I've had a few of those with a few girls. I end up becoming friends with them and then my "crush" fades away and they become a normal friend.
Just remember that tv characters aren't at all the same as the actors that play them. Don't have your heart set on something that will disappoint you in the end. [ Imperialistic's advice column | Ask Imperialistic A Question ]
