Did you have a crush on someone before?

How old were you?

Do you remember her\his name?

It’s so common nowadays to have a crush on someone or know someone who has a crush.

A crush, if you don’t know, is an instant illogical attraction to a specific person.

Why if you have a crush on someone, then most probably he will break your heart,

As said before, a crush is an illogical attraction; It’s not built on any actual knowledge or connection with this person.

We don’t have a crush on a specific person; we have a crush on a particular idea about him. We build an ideal angelic model in our minds that no person on earth can fit in, a model that has no pitfalls or weaknesses.

That’s why I’m convinced that our crushes will break our hearts if we get closer to them because the more we get close to them, we find out that they are this ideal model we dreamed about was only in our imagination.

That is not the problem of our crushes. It’s a problem of the immature trend that occurred in the past few years.

Finally, this article is cruel, I know, but it’s a kind of tough love. It will not help if you are manipulated by your body’s impulses of lust and call it a crush.

It’s not wrong to want sex with someone, but please don’t call it CRUSH!
