platonic crush

The feeling of giddiness and happiness towards someone you know without the romantic or sexual attraction accompanying a regular crush.

I love talking to and being around Max, even though a lot of what he says isn't true. I have a platonic crush on him.

Hallway Crush

That one fine ass person that you’ll see in the hallways of school that you lowkey have mad feelings for but can never get the courage nor opportunity to talk to them. You don’t even know their name yet they live in your head rent free. You’ve probably imagined scenarios of them. You’ll wonder wether or not the feelings are reciprocated. You’re not sure if they fw you because they look at you and sometimes smile at you, but at the same time they don’t bother adding your socials or even initiate a simple conversation.

I still remember that fine girl that used to look at me and smile in the hallways. I never knew her name but she was fine af. She’s my hallway crush

Intellectual Crush

Distinguishing between a "nerd" crush and typical "crush". Characterized by love of their mind, independent of their body or physical attraction. Can refer to person of same gender or opposite sex. Term is platonic in nature. Admiration of their unattainable intellectual or academic skill/thought process/insight, to a level of raw mental magnetism. In context, meant as a true and genuine compliment and can be used between friends or colleagues.

He is so damn clever, funny, and quick; he is by far one of my top intellectual crushes.

Daddy crush

Infatuation by a young woman (early to mid 20s) on a much older man in a position of authority. She may or may not be consciously aware of it. It can lead to irrational inexplicable behavior.

Wow, Jenny has such a daddy crush on her professor, but isn't even aware of it.
