When you see a person and your heart starts to race, you become nervous and if your a shy person you try and avoid them. When your not with them you always think about them, ive had a crush on someone for ages and it drove me crazy, the best thing to do is tell them how you feel and if it ends up they dont feel the same way you can get over it and stop going crazy over them. Whatever you do dont get someone to ask for you, i asked her brother and he lied to me and said she loved me but he lied and when i finally confunted her it broke my heart, yeh thanks for that. Love is a very strong emotion mostly overused and sometimes doesnt apply with crushes when you are only physically attracted to someone and you just think they are hot
example 1:
Person 1: God that new girl in school is fit i got a really big crush on her
Person 2: cool man
example 2
Person 1: i think im inlove with _ _ _ _, shes got such a great personality and shes so good lookin
Person 2: you should ask her out
