Well, i guess that for most people, it's one and the same. Sometimes a peculiar fascination/obsession with a person of the opposite sex is termed as a "crush", too often. Even if it isn't really that. How do you know a "crush" from just a very "intense fascination"? How would you technically define and distinguish the two?

PS: Personal experiences welcomed 😉😛

Yeah, crush=infatuation.

Too intense crush=obsession.

Did that help you out? 😛

Not really. How would one judge the difference? Any measuring scale available?😕 where does love figure in all this?

Nah, these are just the facts. They feel different too.

And Love has nothing to do with either of these. 🤣

Question is fascination n crush.
Fascination is wonder but when we like what we see it becomes infatuation which turns into a crush when we get excited everytime we see or think of the person.
Eg. You may be fascinated by Sallu but have a crush on Ranbir and be willing to die for Hrithik😆.

Obsession is the last one.

flow chart of love

english love: eye candy - infatuation - crush - like - love - madness - jump from the cliff

desi love: nook jhonk - pasand - pyaar - mohabbat - ishq - junoon - deewangi - dawa - dua

@ topic: crush is romance related. it can be between man-woman, woman-woman and man-man and other combinations. fascination is not exclusive to romance.

It takes a shorter time if you have a replacement.
A love that was shared never really dies, it is locked up for eternity.
Even the whole universe is contained in our own soul.
