I would say I really liked your piece, and I think straight people run into a lot of the same feelings with crushes. I think some of that is why workplace crushes can come on so hard and fast.
They are non-threatening since verbotten, people you know a bit on a impersonal professional level, but the rest of their life and personality is sort of a blank canvas you can project anything onto. It can be pretty alluring. I had a couple women at times, even when both happily married, where I would switch jobs, have this new person in my life, and both our eyes would sort of sparkle for a month until you both go "WTF we are married this is silly" without anything happening. And then eventually you get to know that person better and see it made no sense and was a bad match anyway. Silly mammals.
Also Gosford Park has always been one of my favorites. Top 10 movie for me probably.
Those unused privacy settings are the humble flames that help crushes get a touch obsessive- toootally not speaking from experience :). Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Martin, I really appreciate your thoughtful comments.
I like Gosford Park a lot too, and (both because of and despite that) don't like Downton Abbey at all!
Downtown Abbey was fine, but it really feels like it is needlessly long. Gosford Park is like 80% of the experience in 1/20th the package.
