Ummm you guys!!
I'm a bit confused and maybe you guys and clarify.
What is a "Crush" Vs an "Infatuation"? I mean I understand we ladies come across a lot of fine looking dashing you men in our lives. These men range from the milkman, to the shoe salesmen, to our cute friend next door, to Shahrukh Khan, and even the guys selling Nirma on TV.
So at any given point, we don't know who's going to get the butterflies in our stomachs and the birds chirping in our heads.
My point is that if each and every guy starts resulting in those reactions within us, are they all crushes????
Am I safe to say that a "Crush" is more of a "reality reaction"? Like we may have crushes on the guys next door, the milk man, or the salesman. Because in our minds we already know that the chances of our crushes turning into love are far greater than with Shahruk Khan or the guy selling Nirma.
The crush may happen not too often, and is over very selective.
On the other hand....an infatuation is similar to a major crush in the sense, that there is this element that it's an "unrealistic" liking towards a person, but in pits of out hearts we know that it's unattainable. Thus, this makes the reaction very common. We may have many many more infatuations but very few crushes.
A lot of women are married on this forum, but they're very open to admitting to the fact that they "love" armaan and that he looks adorable. This is an infatuation not to the person itself, but more towards the character that he plays on the show.
If you have a crush on someone, it's a lot more serious than just an infatuation. I feel that crushes are the first step in preparing yourself mentally and physically to get emotionally connected to another person.
So what you guys are feeling are more along the lines of an infatuation, not so much a crush.
What are your thoughts?
