Top 10 Signs You Have a Crush on Someone

We all have a crush, but some of us may want to know the signs.

1. You find them attractive

   My crush is really hot, but I obviously would never say that to his face.

   This happens usually to many of us.

2. You think about them constantly

   I have a crush on this guy right now. He has the personality, but not the looks. I don't know if I should date him or not. Right now, I suddenly don't know if I have a crush on him. But I literally can't stop thinking of him. I can't sleep at night. And I don't know if he likes me or not. I'm just really sad that he doesn't have the looks. Because if he did, I would have already been dating him by now. I don't know what to do.

   It's kind of like if he asked me out, I would say yes, but I wouldn't ask him out. It's so hard to explain. But he's really nice. I just hope I solve this problem soon.

   I thought of my crush a lot, especially at school when she was around.

3. You get butterflies in your stomach when you think about them

4. You chat with them a lot online

5. Your facial expressions change around them

   We tend to blush or smile when we see them.

   I do remember blushing around this boy I had a crush on. We're just friends now.

6. You overthink what to say next

7. Your body heats up around them

8. You pretend you don't like them

   I did this for a long time before the crush was confessed and turned out to be reciprocated. We're both very happy now.

   This is what I do whenever I see him. I try not to make eye contact.

9. You tend to stick close to them

   I do this sometimes when I try to get them to notice me, but then I pretend I'm not doing it.

10. You make eye contact with them

    Why do most of these items describe me around my friend? Do I actually have a crush on him? True, my friends told me I act differently around him. True, he and I always make eye contact. True, I kind of find him a little bit attractive. This is starting to get a little creepy.

The Contenders

13. You listen to songs that describe your feelings for them

    I listen to romance music and think about us in the shower.

    (bestie): WOAHHh I think you've said enough

14. You talk with them a lot

15. You get shy around them

    I try to get him to notice me, but when he does, I pretend that I'm not there.

16. Your close friends notice your odd behavior when you spend time with them

    At my church youth group, after we did tie-dyes, I took a garbage bag out to dispose of it. Then my friend came out to me and said, "Do you have a crush on (insert her name here)?" I was like, "Oh my God," because of how sudden this was. She had been out of state for a while, so she wasn't there, but my friend just seemed to notice my behavior when she was around. I would act a bit giddier and more on edge around her, while normally I'm a chill dude. Feelings really affect one's behavior.

    So, do I have a crush on [censored] or not? My friends noticed that I acted differently around him, and I don't know if they're right or not. I mean, I am happy around him and always have fun with him, but I don't know. I keep telling myself that he's just a friend. Am I lying to myself or what? This is so confusing.

17. You catch yourself staring at them

    Yeah, that's me with my crush, but I always make sure to stare at him sneakily. Like if he's talking, because no one is going to think it's weird to stare at someone when they're saying something, right? Or if someone next to him is talking, it would look like I was staring at the person who is talking when I'm really not.

    I especially like staring at him in a crowded place where he's surrounded by a bunch of friends, because then he either won't notice, or if he does, he can just assume that I'm staring at one of the other people in the crowded room.

    Sorry if I sound like a creep, but I can't help it! He's really cute, and for some reason, I always like his hairstyles when others around me say that they look awful. I get so annoyed when they say that, but anyway, I'm going off topic.

    My point is yes, I do have a crush on him because I am constantly staring at him whenever I can get away with it unnoticed.
