What does "crush" even mean ?
I genuinely want to know what having a crush actually means. Is it just physical attraction or is it something more than that?
Because whenever people ask Who’s your crush? everyone seems to have an answer 😭 Some people even say "l proposed to my crush" and I’m like… how?? If it’s just physical attraction, how do you decide that you actually like someone based on that?
If you ask me, I’ve never really had a crush on someone IRL 😂 As a kid, whenever someone asked who my crush was, I’d just say Atharva because he was a celebrity and I thought he looked good. Growing up, I’d see someone and think “oh, he’s good-looking” and that’s it. I’d just move on. Never had that feeling of "omg I have a crush on this person"
I’ve also never been in a relationship till date. I did like a guy once and the feeling was mutual, but I wouldn’t call him my crush. I liked him because of his personality, social standards and looks, but we both knew that relationship wouldn’t work out for us in the future, so we never got into one.
So I genuinely don’t know what qualifies as a crush 😭
Like, is it just finding someone attractive? Thinking about them a lot? Wanting to be around them? Actually wanting to date them? Or is it some weird combination of all of this?
