A crush

A crush is called a crush because the person you like doesn't like you back and it crushes your soul

a crush

When someone likes someone else a lot, they may refer to the someone else as their crush. Crushes are interesting because of their varieties. I’d like to offer two different types of crushes for now.

Little crush. This first crush is on someone the crusher doesn’t know well. It could be infatuation, appreciation of appearance, a desire to be friends mislabeled, or simply an admiration of the idea of someone rather than who they are. When the crusher learns more about this person, they may lose their crush, reaffirm it (see the second type) or discover the crush was mislabeled. Instead of specifying a different type of crush for mislabeled platonic wanting-of-friendship, it’s included in type one because typically the cause is the same: The crusher doesn’t know the crush well or is unfamiliar with separating these feelings. Even if this little crush feels intense, it still is considered little because there is little to go off of.

Big crush. When the crusher knows the crush well and has developed a crush or previously had a little crush on them. Feelings are more fleshed out here, as there are reasons behind the way the crusher feels, even if they can’t name it. However, the crusher should be able to point out specific things they like other than appearance that they like about their crush like actions, hobbies, opinions or little things. Someone with a little crush can do this too, but they don’t know the person as well.
What’s the name of that blonde guy in our class? I think I have a little crush on him.

Marco loved the way his crush, Jenna, skated around school. She was so cool!

After getting to know Jenna better, Marco’s crush on her got even bigger.

I have a crush on my best friend and she doesn’t know. She’ll never know all the little things I notice, like the way she holds her hair up when she’s mad, the way she talks faster and less coherent when excited and the passion she has for human rights.
