1. Giddiness
Giddiness is one of the best emotions crushes put you through. When he smiles at you, you melt. When his name pops up on your phone, you get butterflies that refuse to go away. He can make your day by doing something as simple as speaking to you. All you want is a bit of his attention, and you’re overjoyed when you receive it.

Crushes can be a source of extraordinary emotions. When you feel a strong connection with someone, it can be hard to put into words. One of the feelings you may experience is giddiness. This is a feeling of excitement and joy that can come over you when you think of your crush or when you receive any kind of attention from them.
Giddiness can be a powerful emotion. It can make you feel like you’re on top of the world and that anything is possible. You may feel like you’re in a dream and that you can do anything. This feeling can be hard to shake and can last for days, weeks, or even longer.
Giddiness can also be a sign of infatuation. It can be a sign that you’re in the early stages of a relationship and that you’re starting to develop strong feelings for someone. It can also be a sign that you’re feeling a strong connection with someone and that you’re feeling a strong attraction.
2. Disappointment
In the same way that he can make your day, he can ruin it in an instant. When he doesn’t return your calls or plans fall through, it’s like the world is ending. You want to be in a relationship with him, so it’s disappointing to see him with another girl. You can’t let yourself get too upset over any guy. Don’t let him have so much control over you that your happiness depends on how he’s acting toward you.

When you have a crush, it can be hard to control your emotions. You can feel a range of emotions from excitement and anticipation to disappointment and even anger. When you’re in the early stages of a crush, the excitement of the possibility of a relationship can be overwhelming. You may find yourself daydreaming about how it could be, and the anticipation of seeing them can be thrilling.
At the same time, the fear of rejection can be crippling. You may find yourself overanalyzing every interaction, trying to read between the lines to see if they’re interested in you. If they don’t return your calls or plans fall through, it can be devastating. Seeing them with another girl can be even worse.
It’s important to remember that your happiness shouldn’t depend on how someone else is acting towards you. It’s important to take care of yourself and find joy in other things, rather than relying on someone else to make you happy. If you can keep your emotions in check and focus on yourself, it can help you to keep things in perspective and avoid the disappointment.
Frequently asked questions
Oh totally! Crushes can mess with our emotions in all sorts of wild ways. Don't worry, you're not alone.
Thinking about a crush can bring out deep feelings and fears, like rejection or longing. It's absolutely natural to feel overwhelmed sometimes.
Seeing your crush can trigger a rush of emotions, from happiness to anxiety. It’s your body's way of processing these intense feelings.
Crying over someone means they affect you deeply, whether in a good or bad way. It shows just how much they mean to you and how much you're impacted by your feelings for them.
Moving on takes time. Focus on yourself, do things you love, and stay busy. It’s hard but totally doable!
3. Confidence
When he compliments you, it’s an instant confidence boost. What could be better than hearing a crush say how cute you look? When someone you admire compliments you, it’s one of the greatest feelings there is. Even if you don’t agree with his compliment, it’s great to hear. Impressing your crush will make you feel great about yourself.
4. Sorrow
It’s dangerous to be completely crazy over one person. When you see him kiss his girlfriend, you’re not going to be in the best mood. By liking someone, you’re giving them power over you. He can make you cry without meaning to do so. All it takes is one look at the wrong girl, and your heart is shattered.
5. Jealousy
Jealousy is one of the worst feelings to have and the most difficult to get rid of. Watching the guy you like flirt with someone else can be torturous. You have no right to be jealous, since he’s not yours, but that doesn’t ease the pain. It’s difficult to watch the boy you daydream about treat another girl like a princess. It’s something that everyone has to deal with, but that doesn’t make it any easier.
6. Distraction
When you can’t get him off of your mind, you’re going to slack on your responsibilities. Instead of focusing on homework or housework, you’re busy thinking about him. Every time you try to get a task done, he pops back into your head. Crushes can cause distractions, even when they’re not within your sight. When they’re in the same room, the effects are that much worse.
***
It's like a persistent buzz in the back of your mind that refuses to be silenced. Whether it's his smile, the sound of his voice, or just the way he looked at you - these thoughts hijack your concentration. And don't even get me started on social media stalking; it's a black hole for productivity. You promise yourself two minutes, and suddenly, it's two hours later. You're deep in the archives of his 2009 family vacation photos, and that spreadsheet you were working on? Totally forgotten. It’s a wonder how anyone gets anything done with love in the air.
7. Fulfillment
It’s always nice to get what you want. If you end up dating your crush, congrats! Kissing the boy you’ve liked for months is an amazing feeling. All of the emotions that he put you through are worth it when you get him in the end. Enjoy him!
Crushes can be enjoyable and miserable. Do you currently have a crush? Do you think he returns your feelings?

Katie: I\'ve got a crush on my ex that I stupidly dumped this summer if only I had seen these feelings coming back. Jealousy is the worst!
Bisma: I've felt every single emotion in this article, it's crazy. But most of all, I've only felt sorrow because my crush moved states when he went to college and now he's in a committed relationship with a gorgeous girl who also happens to be a model. I mean, not only does looking at both of them tears my heart apart, but seeing how perfect she is lowers my self-esteem too. I keep telling myself that it's just a stupid crush and meaningless but then I remember that I've been crushing on him for almost four years! I don't know what to do with my life, hopefully someone better comes along and sweeps me off my feet. I hope I can get over him someday. 😫😭
Amy: I\'m going through all of this in different ways. I have this crush that I just met and fell head-over-heels for him. I mean I\'ve known him a LONG time because he\'s a year older than me.. But this year I started talking to him and everything about him makes me CRAZY for him. But sometimes I wish as could just stop liking him. He puts so much stress on me a day because I just want him to be mine.. I want to talk to him and be close to him and I get so stressed out about it that it literally makes me go insane for him. I don\'t even know what to do.. Lol.
Jesu: I have felt ALL those emotions in my life because of crushes...and I totally agree with the fact that they can definitely MAKE your day or RUIN it....I currently have a crush and I have NO IDEA how he feels...we have been very good friends for a while and the chemistry between us was immediate, but I just realized I had a crush on him a few days ago...Like @Aria, I wish I could read his mind...
Nyachang: i\'ve been crushing on my this guy for awhile now , i see him as my dream guy..i think he likes my best friend and i\'m scared he doesn\'t like me more than a friend...we\'ve dated before btw.. what do i do? Just forget about him? not possible.
EvVie: The worst part is he used to tell me everything, even if he just liked a girl, then all the sudden he got married, and I never even knew he was dating anyone!
LittleMissUnknown: Write a comHaving a crush sucks! But at the same time it's amazing what they can put you through and how they make us feel (although it's not entirely their fault!) and it's even worse if they have no idea how we're completely crazy about them! The amount of time I was thinking or crying about my crush could have been equivalent of me studying or focusing on my studies first! :'( right now sometimes I feel kinda distracted by him or disappointed about myself, I mean geez it's just a crush, I really do need to calm myself down and seriously get over him, but it's gonna hard... :(ment ...
yea: #2 yea i feel really sad when i don't see him
