Even though I've dated other people, I can't seem to get over my childhood crush, am I in love?

[Dreamy2020]

I don't know about other people, but I think that we NEVER get over our crushes. We might forget about them for a while, out of sight out of mind situation. With crushes there is always no closure, there is always will be what if. But you might get over them if you don't find them attractive anymore.

No, not necessarily. Did you ever date your childhood crush? If not, it could be more the wondering "what if". If it never became a reality, it's natural to always wonder, but that doesn't necessarily mean you're in love. The thing about crushes is, we only THINK we know the other person. We idealize them and put them on a pedestal. We don't see any of their flaws.

No, that is infatuation and not love.

[Dave31989]
