During the work week, I (along with Keidra) stumbled on the New York Times article about girl crushes (no, this isn't about hot lesbian, bi-curious action, sorry porn surfers) and it rang true for me. A lot of my deeper friendships (where I've said that I'd do damn near anything for my friends) started as non-sexual crushes. It's hard to describe what it is. All I can say is that with that person, I sensed something special about them and wanted to get to know them a little more.
It sounds stupid on the surface, but there's no other way to describe it. It sounds like you're picking up someone in class, at the coffee shop or at the bar. I remember talking to these people and feeling awkward, like "Am I cool enough? I hope I don't sound stupid." Fortunately, I was lucky enough to get some good friendships out of it.
