If you were in a committed relationship and a past crush/blast from the past (not an ex, but someone you previously had a significant crush on) happened to make an appearance in your life would you sacrifice your relationship to have a go at it with that past crush?

No. I would stay. The only reason I wouldn't is if the whole relationship is toxic, no open communication, after giving all I could to it, then I'd walk away. Sometimes, walking away is better. Live our own lives.

I'm not too keen on chasing a past crush, just who they are now. Hang out a bit, see where it goes.

Lol no way. (And it has happened to me and he lives a few houses up and it makes me extremely embarrassed and uncomfortable).

I don't know tbh, but I doubt it. If the relationship wasn't going well and the chemistry between the new person was electric, I would certainly think about ending the relationship if a realistic relationship could happen (i.e. distance wasn't a major barrier, she was interested in a committed relationship blah blah blah) but for as long as I am in a relationship - I will not cheat on them, its not just a commitment to them but myself.

I guess it depends. How much do I like the person I'm in a relationship with? How much do I like the crush? What are the odds of my getting into a long-term relationship with the crush instead of just a fling? Do I (still?) think the crush would make a good long-term girlfriend? What's the quality of my relationship with my current girlfriend?

If the relationship is going well and I love my girlfriend then I probably wouldn't risk it by getting with the crush. Unless, of course, we had an open relationship.

I don't think so. If I'm in a committed relationship with someone, it must mean that they're important to me and I'm in love with them.

I do not think that this is something that happens in a rational way, the story is potentially full with emotions, memories and unsolved revelations? It might blow up without much ado or might also pass with a little hickup inside. You might not be willing or desire any possible outcome but will is only so strong when it comes to deep emotions suddenly erupting from the dungeons of the mind. However I would avoid all this from happening, not willing to blast my relationshsip.

No, unless somehow I was in a god awful relationship and thinking about peacing out anyway.

I haven't been significantly romantically fond of that many people. And when I was, I usually made some kind of actual effort to find out if I was misjudging the person and they weren't dope as hell, or if they were D as H, if there was any way in dope hell they would choose to spend their time left alive watching me dangle stuff for my cat.

It was also all bout a decade ago, and I have no way of knowing how those people would even treat me now.

Hmm, probably not. If I'm in a relationship already and everything is good. I'm not going to take a chance on ruining it. Also there could be a reason why that past crush was only a crush and never became anything more🙂

Nah, if I'm in a good place with my current partner then everything turned out the way it was supposed to...I don't go chasing waterfalls, there was a song warning about it and everything
