Crush or Love?

Good thoughts Lorelai, Blade, MasterfulButch and MsTinkerbelly. Thank you.

I asked this question, not necessarily because a 15 year old has experienced this, but because I have been having some amazing conversations with some young people lately and since I have not had a lot of teens in my life prior, I found myself somewhat unprepared in my wording. So I'm thinking more not in the direction of appeasing a 15 year old in their experience, but more in the wonders of a back and forth conversation about the definition. You know how you explain something to a young person and they counter with, "But what if......" and your whole definition goes out the window. lol
But talking directly about an immediate experience is definitely part of the conversation.

So, what if you know someone and you've developed a crush on that person. Crush might turn to love with more knowledge of that person, right? Now, for whatever reason you just can't ever let that person know you're crushing. Time goes by and you get to know the person more. Is it still a crush or is it now love? Is love only defined by a back and forth relationship and a crush is one sided? Is that it?

Actually, I like that definition. lolol
