When you (or others you know) have had crushes (etc) on people, do you sustain some warmth for them afterwards? I’ve found that I have, but just wondering...

I'm 72 and male.  I hold both those I had a crush on and those whom I dated in "warm regard."

Not necessarily so much a feeling as a pleasant remembrance of past relationships.

Maybe a little. I still like him, If to were to c him again but m madly in love with my husband.

I was just wondering because some people were talking in class about this one guy having a crush (pOssibly on me bc there wasn’t like not-so-subtle pointing etc) and the guy said “not anymore”, while his friend didn’t believe this, i was just thinking about it because even once I officially “get out” of having a crush on someone I still like them afterwards kinda? Sorry for the rambling and the cringe question ...
