Maybe this is just me, and all that... but....

Have you ever been in a situation where you had a relatively new friend, and suddenly were hanging out with them more? This friend is of the opposite sex (or, in your case, maybe, of your sex if that's the way the two of you swing), or in whatever configuration such that the two of you could be in a romantic relationship without drastic changes on either person's part.

However, despite this, you think of the person as just a friend, and as far as you know this feeling is reciprocated; despite, perhaps, getting teased by others about the supposed torrid romance you're having. Which, as we just agreed, you're not.

However, because of this teasing, and because you didn't completely ignore it, you've been thinking about this other person, and perhaps contrasting them to other people you've been in relationships with, and not finding them lacking.

In point of fact, you realize that you're starting to develop just a bit of a crush on them, and you really hadn't meant for that to happen.

Anyway, anything like that ever happen to you?
