This blog was made in mind for the women who had been or is currently....... baffled, amused, bewildered, confused, afraid, helpless, emotionally unsure, shy, surprised, curious or disturbed by the way men act or react around them. Whether they have already entered into your life as your boyfriend, a casual friend, your husband.....or even when, out of nowhere, a guy you hardly know happens to be suspected of nursing a crush/infatuation/emotional or sexual attraction on a certain woman that has caught his attention. You.

You may not find the all the answers to discern or to make the prudent choice to act when it comes to facing the man who's "crushing" out the life out of you, who's unbelievably impossible at times or totally getting on your nerves.... but stick around a little more here.......maybe you'll find something i've written that would help you and can apply to your unique "crushing" situation of yours.

Feel the need to give feedback, say something, or ask some sensitive questions you wouldn't dare ask anyone ? Email me at: Crushedwithacrush@hotmail.com. I'd like to be honest with my perspectives and answers as a man.

what's to like ?

Okay, we already know by now, men are for the most part, visual creatures.

It is already inside of us, this instinctive drive to find the best possibe mate that we can see with our eyes, and if the lady we like is within our capability to seize for a potential mate, we go for it. It is our nature to do so, in fact for most living male species of all types of lifeforms in this earth, they adopt this behavior and this role for the natural order of the earth.

But we have an emotional aspect too. This goes for the same way (some) men attempt to seek out their potential mate. To establish an emotional connection through discernable forms of communication between a guy and a girl. And unlike women who have to manage their emotions all the time, most men find it hard to manage their feelings. And when we do this, it really gets risky for us, especially when having a crush on a lady we like.

Consider this Real Life Example. There was a man who is training to become a Roman Catholic Priest, and his priestly training involves counselling people who have problems in real life. He counselled a woman who was divorced and have two children. He so greatly sympathized with her and her situation, that he grew feeelings for her (maybe forgotten his role as a priest in training ?) and married her eventually.

We may not show our negative/positive emotions as often as you probably want to see, but that's probably because we bottle it all up, put on a front to maintain that facade of confidence (we don't wish you to worry about us, that you can be confident in us) or choose not to confide in anyone whom we feel is not trustworthy (most of us don't feel at ease when we confide our problems to a woman). Most of us know, that our emotions can get the better of us, so we chose not to even deal with it in the first place.

I know just about enough that (maybe not enough), most women love to hug and give care for a man they like when they are vulnerable, down and out, emotionally overwhelmed (I may be wrong though). But before we can allow that to happen, we need to be reassured that, we're not made any less of a man because we allow ourselves to be vulnerable just for that critical moment. Men.......... and their stupid egos.......Hahaha.

After all, i believe all women would love to confide their problems to a man whom they can trust and who represent a strong, steady pillar of support. Most of us would like to instinctively whoop out scented lavender candles, chamomile herbal tea and give a relaxing massage at the end of a hellish day for a lady who's trying her best to make her way into the world.

Deep down inside of us, we want to give tender loving care especially when you need it the most. It makes us feel complete as a man. We may not know to execute it properly, but that is a skill we need to learn and improve on. I can testify for myself what i have said, through my own experiences.

Please give us that chance. We'd both score points in doing so, okay ?
