ive never been in love - i think - but ive had two crushes in the past. I think that for me, i just liked what they had, like the first guys was really smart, and the other was really nice. to put it simply - from the experience ive had- a crush is someone whom you have a huge amount of respect for, while being in love means that you are romantically and sexually attracted to them. I also believe in those like, phycological things, so being in love only happens to your soulmate
A crush is more like a infatuation. Being in love is more-- I actually don't know. Never experienced it.
Yeah, i guess falling in love is a big deal, and can be just as hard as falling out of love than in. In my lifetime, I've had six major crushes (yh it's a lot) that I do still think about every now and then. But i was genuinely curious to know if there was a bit of a difference. Thanks for clarifying that. ;)
From my exp, having a crazy crush on someone could be someone you don't really know that well ans as said above what mostly attracts you is a certain aspect/ characteristic they have. It can vary from the looks, some of their opinions or they way they speak (some one mentioned that you may admire them). Crushes don't usually last very long and without anyone fangirling over them, they pass and fade away. {some turn into memories?}
On the contrary, being in love (if that's what happened to me) could start as a crush and blossom later on. In my honest opinion, I don't know exactly DA recipe to get me (I say 'me' because I can only talk about myself) to be in love butt I can guarantee talking and, more importantly, trying to understand one another is a requirement. Another one would be that they're human as in they possess humane qualities and they are decent persons.
Look, many people say that loving feelings somewhat fade over time so instead of defining love as an emotion, you can perceive it as a promise from yourself (that you don't have to tell anyone). Aaaaaaaaaaaaand, that's not what you want to know.... Back to the subject now...
If you're looking for how it feels like, here goes nothing. Movies say it's like fireworks or your heart beating like a drum and that may be true for some butt to me it was warmth. Like the calm after a storm where you know the storm is in the past and you're moving forward . It can be reassuring like a lighthouse is to a sailor and a motive to become a better version of yourself for yourself {self love}.
You can say a crush is like you want to smack lips with them or even tap dat ass if it's physical while love is like you want to make the recipient of it happier (I think it's quite more about giving than receiving). {Note: you can love a person and want to ecchi stuff with them (●'◡'●) }
If you want to know these because you're in a dilemma, instead of rushing things wouldn't it be better to let it go on and play out so that you can handle and understand matters better?
What's the difference between having a crazy crush on someone and falling completely in love with someone. Is there a difference, or is the word 'crush' a little more informal and passive. Someone clarify... :/
