Have you ever talked about talked about someone and all of a sudden, you catch yourself with a huge smile on your face? I have, when I talked about my crush, ex-crush to be precise.
Guess what’s the common thing about crushes? They are all guys that are never right for you and totally out of your league. You know what really sucks about falling for a guy you’re not right for? You fall anyway because you think he might turn out to be different. You don’t really care if it’s not going anywhere because you like wasting your time on him. At the first few stages, having a crush and daydreaming about him can make you high on some ecstasy and let you feel like you own the whole world. (Take that! I’m the queen of the world!)
For most cases, at the initial stage, the crush would make you go “there’s something about him” to everyone in the circle of trust. All of a sudden, he would become the most popular guy on Friendster/ Facebook. Every single friend would be accessing his bio-data as though the exam answers to the next test are posted on it. I think every girl enjoys some eye candy once in a while, attached or not. Lol! However, the crush is usually not as delicious and easy on the eyes as the girl in question perceives him to be. The love drug would cloud their perception of sight and any reports of the crush’s hotness level are highly inaccurate. “Bulky” becomes “muscular”, “nerdy” becomes “intellectual”, and sometimes your pal’s vocabulary becomes surprisingly limited. It is as if her IQ just dropped by 50 and the only description she has is “very shuai” and “super hot”. At this level, there is really no point in grilling the lovesick girl over his character, because she would be so obsessed with that pretty face of his, she can’t look any deeper.
At the next stage of crush level, most girls would go into my “do you think he likes me too?” self-doubt. The lunch topic, gossip topic, MSN topic, even her thesis (totally kidding about this one) would be on HIM HIM HIM. She will be repeating herself over and over again to the extent she can forget which friend heard that story of how she caught his eye at whatever the place may be (the point is she caught his eye. Most girls including me don’t really care about the details.) Now at this stage, girls become a little less superficial. It’s not just about looks. The crush now has a character. He is practically perfect. “He’s annoying but he’s so hilarious. He’s the world’s biggest jerk. He practically ruined my day today but saved it in the last minute. He makes me want to scream, but I really love the way he drives me crazy. I think I hate his guts, but you know what, I think he is everything I want” Now she can’t think properly as she stares dreamily into space and swoon. Any words spilling out of the girl’s mouth is senseless and just contradictory.
After a while, everyone gets a little sick of her saying his name and all she wants is his family name to replace her own. This brings us to Stage 3, where the war begins. Now, her friends would get together to help her score. She now has generals, commanders, and spies. This is the time where everything has to be reported because her trusted allies will design a game plan especially suited for just him and her. So, this explains why girls will do things out of the norm when they are in love. They would toss their jeans and opt for a skirt; their sneakers would have to make way for heels. She speaks in a rhyme and half the time she would be stumped and frowns at the crush if he doesn’t reply something that’s from the script. I like this stage. It’s fun to make him look your way but after this, things pretty much just spiral downwards. You know him a little better, and you start to wonder if you had been brainwashed to think he’s the most beautiful guy on Earth.
But having a crush is rather amusing in the teenage years because there are no strings attached. You are just looking/ogling/fooling around and I like the way stage 1 to stage 3 can make you go so high without drugs. And it’s amazing what infatuation can do to you. You will say the stupidest things like "You know, when he smile, I melt inside.” “I know it’s against science, but I think my heart missed a beat when he flashed me that killer grin of his today. I nearly rolled off the chair.” *insert giggles* It’s just ridiculous. But I think my line is classic. Lol! No girl can probably ever come out with anything so gag-inducing no matter how into the guy she is. “It’s like he was born so that one day we could be together and I will do him a favor by helping him spend the money he so desperately saves in the bank for me”
