10 Things That Happen When You Have A Crush

Crushes. We’ve all had ‘em, whether we like to admit it or not. They literally have you feeling all kinds of ways. Here are just a few of the things that happen when you have a crush.

Crushes…oh crushes. We’ve all had ‘em, whether we like to admit it or not. Big or small, crushes wreak havoc on our minds to the extent of being the main thing we think about on a day to day basis. I, myself, have been a victim of this disease and it sucks. It literally has you feeling all kinds of ways. Here are just a few of the things that happen when you have a crush.

1. Your stomach becomes filled with butterflies…on steroids.

You’re walking, just minding your own business, living your best life until SUDDENLY, you see your beautiful crush. Your stomach becomes filled with huge crazy ravaging butterflies that have no chill. Why must life be like this?

2. You become really talkative.

You’re super nervous and can’t stop talking. You say everything and anything and have no filter. You’re mind is telling you to shut up, but your mouth has a mind of its own. A lot of times, you don’t even remember what you said. YIKES.

3. You think of reasons to text them.

Let’s face it. You wanna talk to them all the time. You want to have a long conversation with them, but you don’t know how to start it, so you start to ponder. *looks up memes that low key hint to you liking them*

4. You try to see them as “just friends,” but that’s near impossible.

You’ve thought about it. “You know what? We can just be friends. It’s ok to be friends.” But as you think that thought, you see them and they look even cuter than the last time you saw them. Then, you realize you’re just playing yourself.

5. You tell yourself to stop liking them, but that, too, is near impossible.

You realize this is all dumb! Crushes are so stupid! You don’t like them! You just think their super cool, and they happen to really smart…and really cute…so cute…dang it.

6. You try to figure out if you should tell them or not.

Now that you have decided that they are the one, you want to tell them how you feel. You run it through your head multiple times. But there are so many different ways that this can go, so your very cautious.

7. You try to figure out if they like you too.

You ask your friends to watch their reactions while you talk, you ponder if you should get your friends to ask them. You’re always looking for signs that show that they like you and you calculate the probability (with all variables considered) of them liking you.

8. You turn into CIA, FBI and all of the above when you scour their social media.

Social media stalking has become an integral part of learning about your crush. When you see them the next time, you know their hometown, high school, nicknames, family, etc. If you aren’t stalking them, your friends are. (I know you do it too so don’t even.)

9. Their favorites are now your favorites.

Oh my gosh! You like turtles? ME TOO! They’re my favorite reptile no lie! What’s your favorite species?? *friends look at you like a weirdo, because you just told them that you hate turtles*

10. Other fish in the sea? Haha, you thought.

Everyone tells you that you need to get over them because there are other fish in the sea. “Get over them,” they say. “The world has 8 billion people,” they say. “There are 7 other people who look just like them,” they say. In your mind, however, those 7 other people or those 8 billion others don’t exist. When you have a crush, they are the only one you want right now! (even though there is a 95% chance you aren’t going to like them years down the road.)
