A crush is a sudden feeling of intense euphoria and giddiness in which one becomes obsessed with another person. Typically, this feeling is directed towards someone who is not already in your relationship, but can also be toward a close friend or even a stranger. When a crush becomes serious, it may lead to feelings of sexual attraction and infatuation. If unrequited, these feelings can be very painful. Having a crush is often accompanied by an inability to talk about it with others, and it can be difficult to focus on other things in life. This is because a crush takes up valuable brain space and can make you feel numb or even depressed if it is not reciprocated.
A crush usually comes on suddenly, and it can be hard to break free from it. It can also be hard to keep a crush secret because it makes others feel uncomfortable or jealous. The best way to deal with a crush is to be open and honest with your crush, but it can be risky if they are in a committed relationship.
Having a crush can be a fun and exciting experience, but it is important to think about the risks before you act on your feelings. A crush can lead to a romantic entanglement, which can cause conflict in other relationships and may lead to infidelity. It is also important to consider whether you are able to meet the physical and emotional needs of your crush, especially if they are in a committed relationship.
Crush is an entertaining, sweet film that takes a refreshingly realistic approach to high school romance and coming of age. It features a talented cast and is smartly scripted. It avoids trite tropes and clichés, while still allowing its cast to play with some good-natured profanity.
It is interesting to note that this movie is the first queer teen romcom I have seen where the characters are not all straight and it doesn’t revolve around coming out as a major plot point. I applaud the filmmakers for adding some easygoing freshness to a genre addicted to repetitive formulas.
Families can use this movie to discuss the importance of respecting a committed relationship and considering the needs of others before acting on feelings of attraction. It is also important to understand that a crush may not last forever and it is okay to move on when it does not turn into a romantic entanglement. Having a crush is a normal part of growing up, and it can be a great way to learn about the different kinds of relationships and love that are out there. It is also a good opportunity to talk about the ways that people can get along and treat each other with respect, regardless of their gender or race. This can help to build a more inclusive and accepting world.
