Umm...A friend was just telling me about this crush ( read: liking) that she has for someone....and so here I am, writing about what I have been able to Decipher about the whole thing! ( Bah! Have nothing smart to write, as always!). I think they’re quite fun to have! Umm….lets reverse that a bit, its more fun for your friends, since that provides them with gossip right at their feet, and a poor little vulnerable thing who is willing, with open arms infact, to get slaughtered at the alter, the alter of Jest. And if you're a good sport, its actually fun!

People suffering from this wonderfully infectious (dis?)order usually share some common Symptoms:


Normally happens for people they don’t know well, or at all! If you’re cute and are popular, there is a huge possibility that you might have a train of admirers yourself! (They don’t know the real you yet!)

Umm…they’re always around you…maybe in office or school or college, wherever! So, basically, people you can’t ignore, even if you’re dying to! ( all right! I just said that, don’t mean a bit…who on earth wants to ignore when a simple glance can make your day!)

And when you finally do get to meet them, a meagre Hi is ALL that you are able to spurt…as for the rest of the formal talk, the how are you’s and stuff, a feeble smile, and a terribly, terribly dazed expression is all that you can muster. This I feel, might not go very well with the other person….after all, who wants to know a sissy, spluttering dimwit! And there, there go your chances! Saddities of life!

For those who really do prove themselves to be dimwits, and never proceed beyond the Hi and the Hello ( and I do know someone who fits the bill just perfectly! :D ), this, my friend, is the end of story.

Aaaand, the cardinal error that anyone can ever, ever commit, especially when the object of your affection happens to be a girl (How do I know??? I’m a girl, incase you don’t remember!!) is, to flatter her! ! Corny stuff is a strict no-no. Believe me, sounds implausible, but women have an uncanny ability to see through sycophants. And incase you just proved yourself to be one, all your chances are, I’m afraid, already down the drain. At best, a cold shoulder is what you will get.

As for men, sorry, am terribly ill equipped! Thankfully, God was kind enough to me, a girl is all that I am!!

But, the best part about a crush is that it is just that, a crush! It dies out before you can even blink, dies out because you are already busy exploring the next possibility, the one that just knocked at your door!!

As they say, life goes on!! ;D
