When you have a crush on someone similar to what middle-schoolers go though when they like someone. You start texting, hugging awkwardly, getting butterflies and stumble with your words every time you talk to set "crush." IM-ing is also key to Middle School Crushes (and don't forget to send lots of smiley-faces in them :) )
Absolutely no maturing in your flirting and feelings in this type of crush.
You know...I like-like that guy. Oh my goodness, I totally have a Middle School Crush on that guy!
When your piles of homework from late night studying collapse on you, preventing you from breathing and suffocating you on the spot before you could say your last words.
Mom: honey? Did you fall asleep studying aga- OH MY GOD! NOT THE HIGH SCHOOL CRUSHER! HE WAS SO YOUNG!
1. The person you catch unholy feelings for during Vacation Bible School — usually while swearing you’re “not even looking for anything right now.” You lock eyes across the craft table, or during a group worship song, and suddenly you’re imagining a joint testimony at your future wedding. Charming smile, questionable life choices, walking red flag.
2. A short-lived, overly wholesome-yet-chaotic situationship powered by proximity, youth group energy, and an unhealthy amount of soda from the fellowship hall. Ends with him ghosting you like he just got called on a permanent mission trip to another dimension
“I told myself I wasn’t dating this summer… then Octavio, my Bible School Crush, asked if I wanted to sit with him during Bible study and now I can’t listen to ‘Our God Is an Awesome God’ without crying.”
