How Do You Know If You Have A Crush?

[BornActor]

I'm bi, and I've had crushed on girls before, but now I might have a crush on a guy. I'm not really sure. He's the best friend I've ever had and I'm not sure if I just feel really comfortable with him or if I actually might love him. Like I fantasized about having sex with him a few times, I think about him constantly and I always want his attention. And I was leaning more toward that I did, then I was working out at the gym and I suddenly felt nothing but platonic love ever since. I feel like it varies day to day, but it doesn't seem like it's going back to a crush anymore. The idea of being romantic with him feels strange because we're such good friends. So just curious how y'all knew.

The way you describe it sounds like a crush to me. A crush tends to involve a lot of thinking about the person and fantasising about all the aspects of what a relationship would be like with the person which can range from the 2 of you just chillin together through to sex. I think you have a crush and why you might feel awkward about it is because you had never previously thought of this person like that before.
