"On the madness and charm of crushes"

This was fun: an article about crushes ... why we fall into them, and what they mean.  You can find it here:

As a special extra, the article comes with its very own dose of Romantic Pessimism:  "everyone has something very substantially wrong with them once their characters are fully known, something so wrong as to make an eventual mockery of the unlimited rapture unleashed by the crush."

Have fun!
