It is definitely a blessing and a curse. On one note, its very nice to feel like your heart is leading you towards finding something that you need. It also leads to very romantic heartbeats that feels very good and the butterflies that follow just makes you feel like you have something very special building.
It can be a curse in a sense that, you start to think negatively of how the other person feels about you, and once you start to miss out on opportunities to talk to that person, you start to feel very sick inside and loose faith.
All in all, I say it is definitely brought upon you for a reason, and its an emotion that is totally worth it because God has placed that joy in your heart. Also, it can lead you to finding the right person, if the other is feeling the same. It sure is fun to think about!
For me it's kind of a mixed bag. I love the possibility that the person may feel the same way too, but at the same time, it's hard once you figure out they don't. A lot of times I find myself not making a move because I can tell they probably don't like me like I like them and just like the thrill of imagining what it would be like if I were with them. EG: being able to tell them about your day and having them listen to you or showing them your hobbies and teaching them something new. I've always thought about this, is that weird that I imagine what a relationship would be like with a certain girl? oh well.
I hate it. It's like being a hungry and looking at a delicious sandwich but you can't eat it for so many reasons. It's heart breaking and frustrating.. as a girl I don't wanna tell a guy I like him. I would ask the guy to hang out with me and then if he liked me, he has to tell me. In the meantime, I'm falling in love. It's so nerve racking.
Yes & no for me
Yes because it shows that I know what I want & I can have someone that real to fantasize about instead of having some guy made up in my mind.
No because when that person doesn't feel the same way it can hurt & make me lose faith in ever finding love.
Other. I'm just aware of it, really. I know I have a soft spot for that person and I like it when they're around. I also know that the idea of them knowing really scares me. But I treat it as normal and if they show signs of interest, I pursue them. It's simple really.
Crushes are nice but its weird, especially if its done online, I kind of stop liking the guy if he says he likes me. :/ I guess because I'm either nervous about being in another relationship or I just liked the crush feeling enough to ignore my real feelings.

No I hate the feeling, it messes with your logic and you keep listening to strange music and loose weight and forget about other important things in life. Its like your mind is totally lost to the butterflies in your stomach. You do foolish stuff and sh*t.. lol
Generally I rarely have crushes, but if I did, usually I would act on it in some way just to see if it would be warranted. If the subject of my crush would be positively responsive then yes it would be nice to have a crush on her. However, if that crush isn't, then I definitely wouldn't enjoy those crush feelings and would try to lose those feelings in the fastest most healthy and complete way.
Yes. Crushes intrigue me. How can someone you barely know bring such happiness or joy or stress to you by just being themself. It is facinating. I' don't mind any of it. You win some and you lose some. I'm thankful to have the capacity to hold someone in a high standin
I love it, but I really hate the pain of not being loved back. However, you know what they say: Better to have loved and lost than never have loved at all. I don't know if it applies here or even if I understood well the meaning but I certainly prefer being in love than not being.

Yes, I like the moments when there is hope for something great. How could you not? Opportunity is right there in front of you just waiting for you to take action.
i don't like the feeling of needing anyone or anything, I like feeling in control of my life. guess iam sort of a control freak, runs in the family. when I get those feelings it makes me feel needy, other words weak and pathetic, nobody wants a needy person, so ya pretty sure ill be single forever
when I crush, I over think stupid things he says/does and I hate doing that! I don't know much about guys either so I find them really confusing. I wonder if he likes me back and I don't know and that makes me even more confused. if I try talking to him and hanging out with him, and he gives me mixed signals, I hate it! I just find the whole thing to be so complicated.
My heart is too weak to play these "crush" games... so even if someone has a crush on me I absolutely neglect it unless I truly like her in which case I will try to approach her and know more about her.
Apart from that, I also think it's unhealthy because you lose track of the most important activities and routines in your life. Makes everything disorganized. Cos your mind is always busy in your crushes...
Only if they are crushing back...having a crush makes you act stupid around them and not think clearly. I never know how to let them no I'm crushin' either ha. I like "talking" to someone, those are great times :)
It frustrates the living hell out of me. I'm a psychology major in a psychodynamically and psychoanalytically oriented university, so I've learned to analyze every little thing. Drives me nuts. The 'crush' part is the worst part of the whole deal.
Voted other its 50/50 for me.
I love Crushes, because its a free Fantasy without responsibilities. but same time I hate when my Crushes are in a committed relationship an I'm not a Home Wrecker. LOL its the Good with the Bad.
I don't like it. Mostly because when I like someone, it becomes a strong feeling, so I think about her, and get like stupid some times.
Besides, If she doesn't really talk to me or something, it's very bad and it ruins my day.
It is a good feeling, but here is the problem. I wouldn't want to be in that constant midway state of never being able to finally get someone. It would be a dull life indeed if I had to stay in that state my whole life. Also, rejection doesn't feel great.
You get a high yes when you're in love everything seems more beautiful and life so enjoyable, but than if you loose your love the converse comes in. Everything is boring, uninteresting and life becomes hell.
I think its fun to have a crush on someone because it is so fun to have the chase so long as you know when to start a relationship. for me its always turned out to work out in the end.
Crushes are agonizing. I usually keep rationalizing them until I end up telling the girl up front, or decide that it's impossible to work between the two of us based on 0% evidence lol.
I think it depends more on if you can ACT on the crush.
If you can. It's great even if you don't.
But if you can't. IT sucks even if you wouldn't if you could.
See what I'm saying?
I really dislike having a crush on someone...why, it drives me crazy. I don't care for that feeling but I also know I can't avoid having feelings for someone, so wtf. Life is never easy.
All my crushes have gone well for me so...I like them. :)
No, I hate having a crush on someone.Lots of suffering,heart ache,anxiety...along with emotional and mental disturbances
I kinda enjoy the crush phase. I like the getting excited feeling when I see them. At some point tho, I want to move on
I hate it. It's too stressful. At least until you know that they reciprocate your feelings
I only enjoy it if I can them. Not when I find out they're like married or something
I love that feeling of seeing someone or having someone smile at you and it totally makes your day :)
i know the feeling, having a bad day then all of a sudden that certain someones smile warms your heart and calms the storm
I hate it!
It's a human weakness I wish I could be able to get rid of somehow
I don't crush on many people for too long if I ever do. I find out what I need to know and go from there. lol.
It depends. If your feelings seem to be reciprocated then yes. If not, then no, it's heartbreaking.
Quite frankly, no, its about the most soul crushing experience since you could know these people then spread your soul out and they could be like, "Well, lets just be friends..." is the worst feeling knowing you will never get that same mutual feeling, I don't know I'm very negative about it, maybe with age and wisdom that'll change but right now I hate the concept of it.
its great at times, new, adventurous. but absolutely sucks sometimes.
I voted A...I like having crushes. Those types of emotions is what gives you life.
I don't want to live an emotionally placid life.
Depends really, I usually like it if it's reciprocated >.> and they're single.
Love it and hate it. Just causes a lot of mental arguments and angst. But at the same time I enjoy having a "goal", so to speak.
Thankfully I've never had a crush on anyone, so I'm yet to experience the likely hellish sensation xD (Having all my mates fall for women during my teens sucked >.>)
To me at the initial part it's really exciting, but near the middle or the end I always feel heartbroken and sad.
Yes and no. If you can't be with that person because of something circumstantial and they like you back, it sucks.
It makes life more interesting. I'll say yes for the most part.
I hate it. I keep praying to God to take this weakness away from me. I am married and I am not in a position to have crushes. But my heart bug me too easily and I feel horribly helpless and weak.
nope because it becomes a burden especially if you have a bf.
I hate it because I can't bring myself to make anything of it.
If that person is nice. I feel even more terrible if that person is a jerk. I tend to crush in silence.
Yes because I like the feeling of it.
No because it means I need to ask the girl out.
I'm over thinking things again O_o
yes especially if they are responding to me.
but if they know and are ignoring me it becomes painful :(
I do enjoy it it is fun to imagine your seld with her
It can go either way. The feeling is ecstatic and awesome, but at the same time it can be a huge bummer if the person that your crushing on is extremely challenging to even talk to.
I don't really like it because I know that I will never get them to like me back. It used to be nice, but after some time of having no luck with them, it doesn't feel good anymore.
I don't enjoy them, in fact I don't like being attracted to a girl who doesn't even know I exist,i would rather it be two way thing and leading to something
Personally, I think its a waste of time. I'd rather find out if someone is interested in me. I'd prefer getting rejected then having a "relationship" with someone in my mind.
No. Its a sign of the inevitable rejection followed by depression.
totally agree !
It's fun until you find out that they either A: Don't feel the same or B: they're full of sh*t and you've just wasted your time.
Yes, it gives you inspiration especially if your crush feels the same way..
to me its excited for a little while like 3 months maybe then it hurts if they don't feel mutual
Absolutely hate it. I have never had a girlfriend so every crush I have just leaves me sad.
I wish I could just like not like anyone.
Hate that feeling. And if it doesn't go my way its a real downer.
Crushes are a love hate type of a thing. If the girl has a crush on me back then I love it, if not then I hate having a crush because nothing will come from it.
I don't really have crushes on people. I might think some are good looking but I generally don't talk to them so I don't really have a crush on them
i kind of like it...without a crush life seems too boring
It can go either way sometimes. One day you love having a crush on this person and the next it frustrates the hell out of you.
Yes. It means I've found someone I actually really want in my life.
Very, very rare for me to have one, but not fun.
I hate it. It's never reciprocated :(
