What’s a Crush?
When you have a crush on someone it means that you have a strong romantic attraction to them but you don't have a relationship. Some people say that crushes are just temporary, but true love can start with a crush. A crush starts when you're drawn to someone but you don't always know them very well. You can have a crush on someone who you first meet, or you can develop a crush on someone after you've known them for a while. A lot of times the person who you have a crush on has no idea that you do.
The University of California reported that crushes can turn into love. People who participated in the study said about 15% of their crushes turned into actual relationships at some point. That study also showed that whether somebody found their crush physically attractive or not was irrelevant. Romantic interest is based on other things besides physical looks for most crushes. What made people pursue their crush was when an emotional connection developed. Sustained interest is most likely when the person with the crush tries to spend time with their crush and feels unhappy when they're separated from them.

Signs You Have a Crush
A crush is easy to spot. Do you light up and feel very happy when you see them? You probably have a crush. If you admire them and laugh at all their jokes you may have a crush. If you just want to be near them, spend time getting to know them, but they make a you a little nervous- you just might have a crush.
You’re Happy to See Them
The first sign that you have a crush on someone is you are happy to see them. Of course, we are always happy to see friends and family, but a crush is different. When you see your crush, you get a jolt of “happy chemicals” like dopamine. This dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is connected with excitement and concentration. It helps you focus on important things- like your crush when you see them! It is released in your bloodstream and travels along pathways in your brain, and it just makes you feel good. When you see your crush, dopamine is released and it makes you feel good.
You Admire Them
We get crushes on people who we admire. What attracts you to people? If you like smart people, you will probably have crushes on people who you think are smart. If you value beauty, chances are you will have a crush on someone who you think is beautiful. If you have a passion for music, you might have a crush on your favorite musician. You might discover that people you get crushes on all share some common traits. Could you actually fall in love with your crush after admiring them? You just might.

You Laugh at Their Jokes
You might have the exact same sense of humor as someone who you have a crush on. To a lot of people, a sense of humor is very important when they're looking for someone to have relationships with. If you don't like someone's sense of humor, you're not going to have a crush on them. Jokes at other people's expense, jokes that are not relevant to the conversation, or jokes that show a lack of intelligence are major turnoffs for romantic feelings. When you find yourself laughing over and over about what someone you admire says, it’s probably a crush.
You’re Nervous Around Them
You will often feel self-conscious around your crush. This is because you admire and like them so much, you are worried they may not like or admire you as much as you do them. They may be somebody who you look up to. If you are an artist, you may think they are the greatest artist you have ever met. If you bake, you might admire their accomplishments in baking. You may be overly conscious of the way you look and the things you do in the presence of your crush. You will want to present yourself in the best way possible because you will want your crush to like you too. One Zodiac sign a lot of people get a crush on is Scorpio.

To Want to Be Near Them
Even though you'll be nervous and self-conscious around your crush, you will want to be near them. You will want to spend time getting to know them and you might even look for opportunities to be around them. If you go to the same gatherings, you might try to sit next to them. You will also think of ways to try and invite them to places where you're going to go. When you first meet someone, and you're drawn to them for some reason, you will want to find more and more opportunities to be in their presence so that you can enjoy being around them. If you catch yourself looking for opportunities to be around someone, inviting them places with you, and it's more than just friendship you're interested in, chances are you’ve got a crush on them.
When You Should Tell Them
As with many crushes, the person who is crushed on may have absolutely no idea that someone is interested in them. What would happen if you told them? You may have gone over and over in your mind whether you should tell them or not. Here's a few indicators that it might be a good idea to go ahead and tell them you like them. If you fit in each other's lives, go ahead and say something. If you were sure of your feelings, why not tell them? Most especially if there are signs that they like you too, take a chance and tell your crush you like them.
You Fit In Each Other’s Lives
Do you and your crush make sense in one another's lives? If you have the same interests, embrace similar lifestyles, have similar goals and life, and just click, you are a good fit. Being drawn to somebody by having a crush on them might just be the first indicator that you are meant to be in someone's life long term. It might seem scary to speak up, but if you make sense in one another's lives, what have you got to lose? Go ahead and tell them. Is your crush your soulmate?

You’re Sure of Your Feelings
Another way to know it's a good idea to tell your crush you like them is that you are sure about the way that you feel. You might have to wait until you get to know them more before you know if your feelings are serious or if it's just an early form of admiration you have for someone who you've just met. As time goes on you will understand your feelings for somebody more and more. The longer you know someone the more different things you experience with them. The more sides of your personality you see. You find out how they behave when they're happy, upset, frightened, sick, and angry. Over time you will know just how you feel about somebody.
There Are Signs They Like You
Are there signs that your crush likes you? Are they receptive when you say you want to see them? Do they act like they're interested by doing things like flirting? Do they call you as often as you call them? Do they treat their regular friends differently than they treat you? Have you become a priority to them? If they're not sending mixed signals, and they've started to become a part of your life, go ahead and take it a step further and tell them that you're attracted to them. Your crush might actually be love at first sight . Read more here: Is Love at First Sight Real?
When You Shouldn’t Tell Them
It's not always a good idea to tell your crush you like them. If they are happily in a good relationship, why impose? If they are recovering emotionally from a horrible breakup and just need friends, leave romance out of it. If you've already expressed your interest and they already said they're not interested, leave it alone.
They Are in a Relationship
It can be heartbreaking when you have feelings for someone and you see them loving someone else. You might wish for them to love you instead, but the truth is, they don't. If you really have feelings for your crush, be happy for them that they're happy. Be a friend and support their relationship. Someone else is waiting for you to love them and they will be all yours.
They Are Emotionally Recovering
Going through any form of breakup can be the most devastating thing in the world. The last thing someone who is emotionally recovering from heartbreak needs is for someone to try to start a relationship during a bad time like that. Some people are thrilled if they hear that people find them attractive during a time following a breakup. Do you really want to be someone's so-called “rebound” guy or girl? Give them time to emotionally recover, and in the future they might be yours.
They Already Said No
If they already know you are interested and they have let you know the interest is not mutual, it’s time to accept that. Turning down dates, always dating someone besides you, or flat out saying they are not attracted to you are signs they will not date you. You should be proud of yourself for having the courage to express your feelings. If you never took the chance, you would always wonder what could have happened. Since your crush already said no, respect their decision and take no for an answer.
How To Reveal Your Crush
Revealing your crush is very simple. All you have to do is say it. You can have a heart to heart conversation or just ask your crush out. Whatever you do remember life is short. Opportunities have to be seized. When you decide it's time to reveal your crush, just go for it.
Have a Conversation
Are you someone who likes to have heart to heart conversations? That might be the way that you reveal your crush. For some people simply saying, “I’m attracted to you” isn't enough. They want to talk about feelings and they want to see if their crush wants the same thing in a relationship that they do. If this is you, go ahead and sit down and have that conversation.
Ask Them Out
A simple way to reveal a crush is to ask someone out. You might not want to ask them on an official date. Invite them to go for a walk in the park or meet you for a cup of coffee instead. If you're painfully shy, you can always tell them you're getting together with friends and you'd like them to come along. When you ask your crush out, you don't have to get down on one knee and make a proposal. Just invite them to get together with you and have fun together.
Go For It
If you really like someone and want them in your life, try to make it happen. There's always a chance they will say no, but there's also a chance they will say yes. Sometimes you're drawn to the people immediately who are meant to be in your life long term. Sometimes you're just drawn to people because they're admirable. Sometimes we are drawn to OUR people. If you really want someone in your life, tell them. You have nothing to lose and you might have them in your life forever if you speak up and tell them you have a crush on them.
Some people dismiss crushes as infatuation, but crushes can be the beginning of relationships. If you want to be around them, they make you nervous, and you laugh at their jokes, you've probably got a crush on them. If they're showing interest in you and you fit in each other's lives, go ahead and tell them that you've got a crush. If they're in a happy relationship with someone else or they're emotionally recovering from heartbreak, it's a bad time to make a move. Revealing your crush can be as simple as having a conversation about it or just asking them out. True love might be waiting for you and your crush! There is only one way to find out! Tell them!
