I guess a crush is short-lived while love lasts longer. You can have a crush on someone you don't know personally but can't fall in love with that person.
Love has 3 stages:

1. Infatuation: When you can't wait to be with the other person. It lasts for a short time. It is where people misbelieve that it's the "real thing". It is when you have a crush on that person. You are physically or mentally enamoured by them.

2. Bonding: When you get to know the other person and start planning aspects of your life around them.

3. Becoming familiar: Your lives become intertwined and merged. You know foundationally how the other person feels about nearly everything.
You also become refocused on your own life, direction and goals. You start carefully considering your words, thoughts and actions and specifically how they will benefit the other person.
I believe true love is unconditional support.

Crushing on each other is when you know you like each other, loving each other is when you go out on more than 1 date and you both have said, I love you, and you kiss more than once when seeing each other or on dates. I hope this was helpful.

For me crushing is when I don't know the person yet and I still have my pink goggles on so I see him how I want to see him. Falling in love is when I already know him and he confirms what the pink goggles had me believe.

Personally, I would say crushing is when you see a woman whose attractive and with a good personality but you dont know her well. Someone you might want to know better and/or pursue. Falling in love would be where you hate the idea losing the other person and would like to spend a lifetime with them. Someone who you definitely would "marry" (in that sense) and mostly likely you've already known them for a while.

Actually when you spend so much time with someone so that person becomes someone you can't imagine life is loveWhile crushing just liking someone superficially, love is deeper

You can't control a crush, but you can control who you love.

Crush is simple, cute, early stage and you can lose that feeling just as fast as you got it.

you can have feelings for a person ofc! but loving someone is another level, like if you think about them immediatly when somthing happens or when theyre the first person you think of. believe me when you love someone, you'll know.

crush isn't really a big deal, being in love with someone means i feel like i can't live without them
