What does it mean to have a crush on someone? And also, what is the difference between a crush and liking someone?

[catiecatie]

So I have a really big crush on this guy I used to work with. I’m hoping he comes around so fingers crossed. Anyways he was close to my age, looks were really nice and we had the same interests. I asked him for drinks but he told me at the time he was talking to someone. Since then I have seen him on dating apps at least once a month. I’m thinking about adding him on Facebook but afraid would would be said about me over there and if he declines it or doesn’t add me back. I’m hopeful he will come around but I know I can’t wait forever. I don't know what to do though as every time I do see him on social media my heart flutters.

If he's on dating apps occasionally, not all is going well in his romantic life. Je didn't flat out reject you. If you make your intentions known again, he may be willing to try for a relationship with you.

@greekgoddess89 no, the poster of this comment, although I would give this advice to anyone. You can't find the person for you without taking chances. You may get your heart broken, but what if you don't? You can't win if if you never risk anything.

They find the person emotionally/physically/mentally attractive. Usually you daydream about them too. Having a crush doesn't necessarily mean you want to date them, though. I've had plenty of crushes who I didn't want to date, usually because I wasn't interested in a relationship at the time.

Interesting question. For me a crush means I think think sex would be very rewarding with her and I want to, but in the social circumstances maybe I won't do anything about it. I possibly see personality problems above my intense respect for her body. But I think about it a lot.

Then there is like and LIKE. LIKE is probably stronger than crush to me and an attraction for her personality as well as her body. I probably will do something about it.

With like I am always pleased to run across her and exchange a few words pleasantly.

There is a girl I do like and I would be inclined to swoop in if I didn't think she was too young.

1. Liking is more of being attracted to the non-physical attributes of the person (like his or her personality) while having a crush on someone is more of being attracted to his or her looks.

2. Liking is more inclined for friendship as compared to crushes which are more inclined to developing romantic feelings.

3. The feeling of having a crush on someone usually fades away faster than the feeling of liking someone.

4. Having a crush on someone is like admiring that person from a distance.

[Guy13]

They find the other person attractive in some way.

[Avicenna]

It means wanting to date them

[WanderingLoveWizard]

Personally I think it's more than just finding someone attractive. Most women think I'm attractive but still want nothing to do with me.
I think a crush is when you start to fantasize about someone a lot and you can't get them out of your mind. Every time you see them, your world stops and all you wanna do is go up and kiss them, but you're too afraid so you stay back and admire from a distance and dream of being with them.
It's a lot more just thinking, "Oh he's cute"

Having a crush on smo means take action but in indirect way to get a chance to date with the person who liked by trying to affect in vary ways. For example finding some execuses to see the loved one again and again. As for liking, it is just inside us. That's it doesn't involve action. There are only emotions feels about the person who find beautiful or handsome in romantic perspective.

What does it mean to have a crush on someone? To have a crush on someone means that you’re attracted to them, or you’re interested in them romantically. You may want to start a relationship with them, but haven’t done so yet. When you have a crush on someone, you’re usually feeling infatuated. You may even be feeling a little obsessed.

[OfMiceandMen]

I think they are one in the same. However, a crush to me was a term we used in grade school. Once you were in high school and matured, they just became someone you liked/admired.

[JJ092003]

You're attracted to them physically or cos of their personality. I think a crush leads to liking them and then maybe love.

[Dana223]

Crush: Butterflies, thinking of them often. Wet undies. 🙄

[thomasjjeffy]

Uh-oh. I learnt that in your case "wet undies" might mean something else? 😮

[elizamichale1]

Crush is when u r always thinking about them n plan on spending time with them... dress for them try to impress them etc

[Agirlinneedhelp]

I'd say to me it's liking someone without wanting/ expecting anything out of it

[Static_In_The_Attic]

It means you like wear bowling shoes when you go bowling.

[SnowedIn]

You're attracted to them in a romantic sense and want to date them.

[Paul09]

To me, "crush" was when you liked someone but know you couldnt get them. Like crush on a celebrity, crush on a teacher, someone completely out of your league.

[Makeushiver]

If that's your photo than I think I may hve a crush on you-if you include giving head as part of a crush

[Ms_Facesitter]

Liking someone and for some reason not doing anything with those feelings.

[Zayed_]

Crush is connected to wanting their attention and their respect.

liking someone is more about building something more

[Mangospacho]

It’s when you like someone so much that they might have to get a restraining order because you want to be around them all the time.

[girlwithconfusion]

You're attracted towards him/her... it's most probably very common

[Pacquet]

It means being attracted to someone but it hasn’t been made it overtly known.

[OddBeMe]

I don't know, I got a crush on Benedict cumberpatch. But I went down on my wife this morning and am still recovering. Am I bi? Maybe.
