Fictional characters. Sometimes you like them, sometimes you loathe them, and sometimes you’re half in love with them. Want to get to know someone in a hurry? Swap character crush stories; it’s the ultimate icebreaker!

Reel Infatuation is a reader participation virtual cyclopedia of character crushes. It’s a symbiotic, interactive platform built on the old-fashioned notion of give-and-take. We want to hear all about your film, television, and literary loves! Are your stories sweet, silly, embarrassing, or seemingly inexplicable? Share ’em! First crushes, old crushes, new crushes? Bring ’em on! You show us yours, and we’ll show you ours!

        Sounds great. Can it be your first movie star crush or just a character in a movie?

        Still deciding. There are many movie character men who I have a crush on, but I’ve gone blank, and can’t think of any.

    Hello, Ruth!! Having trouble signing up on the form, but can I do Walter Huston in Dodsworth? I mean can I write about him, not actually do him, though I would totally do him…

    Thank you!!
