    And it's a little different with every guy, so it's kind of hard to generalize—but if I had to describe the feeling of a crush, I'd say this: you just finished running a mile, and you have to throw up, and you're starving, but no food seems appealing, and your brain becomes fog, and you also have to pee.

    Often, when we have a crush, when we lust for a person, we see only a small percentage of who they really are. The rest we make up for ourselves.
