"If you have a crush on someone, it means you are in love with them but do not have a relationship with them." - David McBoye
A psychologist and licensed marriage and family therapist, explains that crushes aren't always romantic in nature.
Also from my research, If you have a crush on someone, it means you are in love with them but do not have a relationship with them.
For example you may have a crush on a celebrity but he or she doesn’t even know you exist in the first place, talk of having a relationship with you before you make your intention known to him or her.
The CRUSH in this context is crushing on your friend and how do we communicate it without causing a breakup in the already existing FRIENDSHIP?
Now let’s look at when it is right and possible to communicate one’s feelings or intentions to his or her crush.
These simple but important greenlights will help you. Pay attention to them carefully.
1. Just pay attention to his/her actions towards you. (Does her sacrifices or cares for you go beyond the usual..?)
2. How does she/he react to any problem that comes your way?
3. (Most importantly) Is she in any romantic or intimate relationship..?
4. Does she/he go beyond the extra miles to do things for you that no one else does..?
5. Does she/he put you FIRST before everything or seeks your ideas or intentions or opinions on issues that are very dear to her or him..?
6. Lastly (Most importantly because friends can also do all the above) Does she/he feel the same way you do, in other words, is the feeling mutual..?
You can know that by how she/he behaves and goes around you mostly when you are together.
