That doesn't happen to me. I like a person, I never "sort of" like a person.

Maybe someone can explain it to me?

I suppose I might sometimes "think" I like a person. Like I could say to myself, "I think I like this person". Is that a crush?
A crush is just a crush - that's all it is. It's not about being in love or obsessing about someone ...... It's a sense that there's something or somethings about someone that you like or find attractive. In my mind, crushing on a forum such as this is a bit like smiling to someone in a bar - it doesn't need to lead to anything, seldom does but can.

Personally, I think crushes are healthy. I'm a multi-crusher ....... Although I'm off crushing for lent.
