Crush...

I wanted to write about this topic for a long long time but unfortunately I didn’t have the mood to sit down and put them in words. Here I am finally doing it. Its one of the most common things in today’s teenagers – crush.

Almost a month back in my friend’s apartment when we were done watching a movie and sat down for dinner, we started to talk about it. As usual someone started talking about girls (What else you expect guys to talk about!!!) and slowly the conversion took a roller coaster ride and we were talking about everything and finally we ended up fighting for a definition of crush.

Let me first tell you what I have been thinking so far as a crush. For me crush is a simple physical attraction and infatuation which people get when they see an opposite sex. It’s nothing more than that. For me, I don’t have to even know about the person to have a crush on her. So, just a simple look for few seconds is enough for a person to have a crush. Also I believe a person can have infinite number of crushes in their lifetime and only the most important ones remain in their minds for ever. This is my definition of crush.

But my friend gave me a complete different explanation. According to him, for a person to have a crush, he/she needs to know the other person pretty well and they should have moved close to each at least for a small period of time. Also he said you cannot have a crush with someone whom you don’t know at all.

So as you see, my definition of crush was completely different from his. Though we didn’t come to a conclusion at the end, we ended the topic saying “I think I am right, but not sure”. Even now I don’t know whether I am right or wrong but I am ready to correct my self if I am wrong.

So how do you guys define CRUSH???

I think you're right. YOu don't have to know a person to have a crush on them. I think that what your friend was talking about would be the beginning stages of falling for someone. Plus, it is definitely true that you can have multiple crushes in your lifetime. In my opinion, anyway.

In my opinion, a crush is an attraction, mostly physical, that one has on a person of the opposite sex (i dunno how this works for lesbs and gays). In most cases, the person on whom this person had a crush may never know that so and so had a liking for him/her. Of course, when both parties have a crush on each other, then that crush transforms into love which then becomes a totally different issue. And it is true that there can be multiple crushes.
