crushtomer

\crush-tuh-mer\ noun
A frequent customer of your business, who you have a crush on. This customer is typically seen every few weeks, is very attractive, and socially approachable.

origin:
“Crushtomer” originated from Jay, describing the high amount of attractive and sweet-natured customers who frequently visited the café he worked in during college. This term was quickly adopted by Justin (then known as Burns) in San Francisco, CA.
This crushtomer came into my work the other day, and after chatting for a while, we ended up going out that weekend!

crushtomer

The crushtomer is a customer whom you have a crush on. This person usually doesn't start out as a real life crush, they'll come into your work a couple of times and eventually you develop a soft spot for them. A crushtomer may never become an actual crush, though they occasionally do. A crushtomer doesn't necessarily have to match with your sexual orientation (if you are a straight female, you may have a few girl crushtomers), and you often have more crushtomers than you would real life crushes.
"Did you see that boy who got the eight ounce americano just now? He is totally my crushtomer!"

"Really? His friend who bought the currant scone has always been my number one crushtomer."
