to be infatuated with someone · to have romantic feelings for someone
Ever felt that fluttery feeling in your stomach when a certain someone walks by? 😍 That's exactly when you've 'got a crush' on them! This expression perfectly describes those early, exciting stages of romantic interest, often before it gets super serious. It's light, fun, and totally relatable! 😉
💡 **Pro-Tip!** You can use 'have a crush ON someone' for a person, but you can also say 'have a crush FOR something' if you really, really like an inanimate object or a concept, though that's less common and usually playful. For example, 'I have a huge crush for that new espresso machine!' 😂 Keep it mostly for people, though. It's usually a secret or unrequited feeling, but not always!
Which situation is most appropriate for using 'to have a crush on someone'? A. 🍔 You really enjoy eating a delicious burger. B. 💖 You feel a strong, romantic attraction towards a new colleague. C. 📚 You need to quickly finish a school assignment.
