5 Differences Between Crushing & Falling in Love

So how do you know if you have a crush on someone or if you are actually falling in love? Psych2Go decided to make this video because many of you have asked us the differences between crushing someone and how you tell if you are genuinely starting to like someone.

me, in love with my best friend: 😐

before you love someone, it starts from having crush on someone. You cannot love someone immediately.

It kinda sucks not knowing the difference between crush and love, because it leads to breaking hearts and terrible actions. At least for me. Thank you for putting out this video, I have been completely clueless about romance until now, but I feel like I get more of a grip of what I’m doing and feeling now.

The whole time, I was thinking about a love that doesn’t involve dating. A love that just happens over a long period without labeling it as a romantic relationship

the best feeling ever is, when u had a crush and are finally over him and then u just don’t get why tf u even had a crush on this person

[hritvik]

I think when you crush on someone, you are afraid to look them in their eyes, and when you love someone, you can't look away from their eyes.

There's a boy in my martial arts class who, at first, I had just kind of shrugged off. He didn't look drop-dead gorgeous or was super popular, he was just kid in my class.
But when I paired up with him and worked with him for a while, I suddenly realized that I had been thinking about him a lot. He's funny, gentle and always smiling. His face kept popping into my head at the most random times and every time it happened, I'd get a funny tingling feeling in my stomach. Then i slowly realized that I've fallen in love.
It's a terrible feeling, when you love someone and you might not know how they'll respond. So I've decided that life's too short and, next time I have an opportunity, I'll tell him how I feel. Wish me luck!

It’s so painful when you don’t know how they feel about you

🧠One more fact-
💗Crush is when you love someone for many reasons.💗
💖 Love is when you love someone for no reason.💖

There was this cool girl I knew after I found out she was apparently my schoolmate for one year without me knowing. Our school had a special program which only had 3 sections in it, and she was in another. That time, I had a crush on her but she was already talking to someone else. We talked for about three months as friends, then I decided to confess to get it out of my chest. I told her I liked her but I don't have any intention of ruining what she had then. To my surprise, she told me she would've liked me back if the circumstances were different. I was scared of hurting the guy she was talking to so I stopped talking to her from then other than for greetings or small talk. Two years later, we ended up having another long conversation and I remembered everything I liked about her. That moment on, I knew I was already in love. Sadly, she already had a boyfriend by then. Her boyfriend is a lot like me in many ways, but the key difference is that he's mentally stable since he's had a proper upbringing. I feel horrible when I find myself silently wishing they would breakup, but I've been selfless for so long and it feels so unfair to lose again at life over something that doesn't really feel like my fault.

Love is when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams. -Dr. Suess. I love this quote😍😍

[erenzu]

I've never had a crush, but currently I've fallen in love with my best friend for 9 years 💀💀

Crushes generally fade the more you get to actually know the person. Love only deepens the more you get to know them.
