The term ‘crush’ gets thrown around a lot. It can mean that you simply have a passing infatuation with someone, or that you really like him or her.[2] THE FRIENDLY CRUSH: It is important to remember that not all strong feelings are romantic. Letting yourself trust someone and become really close to someone, without necessarily having romantic feelings for him/her, is a really special thing. Wanting to be around a person all the time may just mean that you have gone from friends to best friends. Its totally normal to have a friend crush--you should want to hang out with your BFF as much as possible. THE ADMIRATION CRUSH: When you idolize a person (like a celebrity, teacher, or classmate who has done something really cool) you may realize that you have really intense feelings about that person and what he/she has done. These feelings might be mistaken for romantic feelings simply because they are so intense. Feeling slightly awed in the presence of someone who has done something amazing or can teach you great things is natural. Often, its best to let a bit of time pass before really thinking too hard about these feelings. Generally once you have spent a lot of time with this person, you will have learned a lot from them and may begin to feel like you can stand on equal ground. You may find that your crush-like feelings simmer down once the initial awe of being in his/her presence wears off. THE PASSING CRUSH: It is human nature to be attracted to other people. Even if you are in a great relationship, you still might find that you feel attracted to someone other than your boyfriend/girlfriend. This attraction is what we call a passing crush-- this new person may seem new and exciting, and he/she probably is, but that doesn’t mean you should reconsider the relationship you are in or, if you’re single, drop everything to try and be with him/her. Often times, passing crushes are spiked by being attracted--most often physically--to someone. THE ROMANTIC CRUSH: Sometimes having a crush on someone really does mean you really, really like them--and in a romantic way at that. Having a romantic crush means that you want to be with that person in more than just a friendly way--you want to be his/her boyfriend or girlfriend. If you fantasize about kissing, holding hands with, or cuddling with that person, you probably have a romantic crush......JOIN ME ON MY NEXT EPISODE ON CRUSH
