Are we using the definition that a crush is an infatuation with someone unattainable or inappropriate? Are we just going to be a junior officer on the Enterprise?
I don't see why we couldn't be talking about all of the above, even though some might obviously be more realistic than others. Picard is pretty unattainable. He's really only had maybe 2 or 3 love interests, that we know of, in the entire time he's been a captain, & they're all over the map in personality. There's just no knowing what moves that man to romance.
Ben seemed nice. Seemed a little light on ambition, just bumming around 10-F, waiting tables, & looking to get into poker games. He can't even really work that much, cuz I never even seen the guy before lol
Oh yeah... & dude desperately needs to work on his wardrobe game
Also Jenna D'Sora. First she would make the first move and just kiss you which takes away all the fear of rejection and she is a slob so no pressure on boring chores. You simply clean when the mess gets out of control.
I could actually go for Jenna too, but she'd have to be past that rebound funk. I don't even think she knew wth she was looking for, & it was a little uncomfortable for me, watching her trip around like a loose cannon of love. I mean you really gotta be off balance if you're barking up the least romantically inclined tree on the ship. I doubt I'd even need her to make the 1st move, with how hard she drops hints. I'm mildly autistic, & even I could see that ton of bricks.
I have to wonder what either of them were thinking. I blame Riker. When Data asked everyone's opinions, Geordi & Guinan chimed in with definitive maybes. Picard wouldn't go near it with a 10' pole, & Troi looked like she might smack Data in the face for even thinking it. It was only Riker that gave straight up approval... of course he would. Come to think of it, he never asked Bev, did he? I think he needed more female perspective on this
