Telling someone you've a crush on them or not doesn't necessarily come down to courage. In most cases, it's as much about how that could be perceived by the other person.

For example, if someone told me that they had a crush on me, I'd probably be slighly spooked because, to me, subconsciously, the word "crush" has connatations of teenage years and slightly unbalanced reactions caused by a combination of overactive hormones and naivety.

That's not to disrespect those who crush - as I do too. However, I'd never tell someone that I had a "crush" on them. I might tell them that they are attractive or beautiful or something else but I wouldn't use the "crush" word.
