In 1987, I had my very first crush. I was 5 and Wesley Crusher was a baby-faced nuisance on the starship Enterprise.

Wil Wheaton’s Crusher was met with resistance by the fans. But to that 5 year old nerdy girl, he was quite dreamy!! And eventually he became a dashing man in uniform.

Wil Wheaton continues to woo nerdy fans everywhere with appearances on The Guild, Tabletop and of course as himself-nemesis to Sheldon Cooper on The Big Bang Theory.

They say you never forget your first crush (well they say love, but I say crush!) And I haven’t forgotten mine!

So thanks, Wil for being so darn cute!
