Has anyone else had a crush on a villager before?

There's an entire base of fans who "crush" on Isabelle. Not too far fetched to think some might also crush on the villagers.
 
I remember having a crush on Hugh of all people back in wild world for some reason. That was kinda weird.
Anyway, as some of you may know, I very much have an affinity for Bella. She was my best friend in WW, and since I brought her to my island in NH, I realized I had feelings for her. I’m well aware she isn’t real, it’s just fun to imagine ❤️

I feel like I used to on smug villagers, like during New Leaf, when I was a teenager. Not now though. Couldn’t tell you specifically who if I had those crushes.

I’ve had plenty of crushes on video game characters, but Animal Crossing is too pure for that, to be honest I’d rather keep it pure for myself. XD I did ship some characters though.
 
Nope. Never. I dont think I have ever had a crush on a fictional character or anyone I haven't personally met and even then there have only been 3 people my whole life. I do consider all the villagers as my friends though it it makes me happy when they call me by the little nicknames and such because Animal Crossing is just such a cute game!!!
 
I don't think it's awkward as different people will get attached to these characters in different ways and there is nothing wrong in that.
In my personal experience I had a crush on Jay way back when I played Animal crossing Wild world but that was when the villagers had some personality.
Since everyone is talking about their past crushes I hope you all don't mind me sharing about it as well. At the time I played Wild World I was in a very bad mind place so I saw in Jay and in the game a safe place where I could forget it all. I was a depressed girl who didn't want to get out of bed and this silly jock bird Jay comes around sending me on quests to find fossils for him. He made my character move around doing chores for him to exercise as he said but the timing this happened felt like he was telling me to move in real life to and be active. Simply having Jay ask me to search fossils for him felt like a small purpose in life and it made me get out of bed. It made me feel like I wasn't alone. It's a coincidence and it's virtual sure but the timing made it all the better and it felt magical. Like all characters in Wild world he wasn't very pleasant at the start but he slowly opened up and sure enough he was the first and only villager on that game to give me his picture. This progression made it feel real and that's how the crush appeared.
In New Leaf by a stroke of luck Jay was my first jock again but this time Laria Nook (my character) had competition in the form of the peppy bunny Bonbon. I remember I got jealous of Bonbon XD but when I say jealous I don't mean bad jealous I mean joking jealous. Besides, Jay was such a himbo. He didn't notice any of Bonbon's advances or show any interest. It was so funny.
In new horizons I don't really have crushes but I sure like to joke about that. I have a series of videos that I am in the process of editing about the adventures of Laria Nook in new horizons and sure enough I mention that Laria Nook and Jay are a couple. That was my idea for the series but then some animal stole Jay from me and let me tell you I couldn't be happier because it sure provided drama and content for that series.
I started to record the series convinced Jay and Laria were the OTP but then Marlo moved in. I thought "Marlo is going to be a villain on the island and Jay could even become a hero. This could be fun." and that was what happened until...the firework day! They turned from enemies to lovers.

They kissed two times! 😄 Right in front of everyone. Jay is bold!

So yeah…now I ship villagers with each other more than the player character with them.
When I think about animal crushes or romances I don’t really dig to deep into it because romance isn’t only intimate stuff you know there is also a simple hug or a sweet kiss. I understand why it come become awkward as some people immeditely think of a certain thing when you mention romance which is stupid because romance is more than that. I joke around because I see it as very innocent and these characters are in a virtual world of their own in no way connected to mine. My player character Laria Nook is not me but an avatar I use to interact with the animal crossing world so in a way maybe I never had a crush on Jay but instead created a story with Laria and Jay through the experiences I went through with Jay and the games.
Anyway now I ship Jay and Marlo together and don’t know how I’m going to explain this to the internet XD
 
When I was first playing city folk I didn't have any crushes, but when playing new leaf I got two crushes. In my first town I had a bit of a crush on Marshal, he moved in one day and I just liked him. It didn't last long though because my brother deleted my town and I had to make a new one. In my new town ( the current one I have now) I got a crush on Lionel, he invited me into his house once and had one of my favorite songs (K.K. Moody) playing and I just fell lol. In new horizons I didn't get any crushes and looking back I notice that I crushed on smug villagers.
 
It's pretty embarrassing since I was a bit older, but I had a crush on Fang when I played CF at around 11/12, and kinda had a crush on Julian in NL when I was around 15.
 
Not a crush, I think I was too old when I started playing (and my boyfriend introduced me to the game, so it would’ve felt like a betrayal lol)

But I’ve totally imagined what animal species I’d be, and which Villager I’d date if I was also one. I think it’s fun and don’t judge anyone for it—honestly, I’ve crushed on way more questionable characters than that (looking at you, my first love Vegeta >.>)
