Is it someone you see and immediately want to make out with/fuck? Because if I see someone who is aesthetically pleasing/interesting, I make the decision to try to get to know them as a person before I escalate things further. And I’m starting to think this is atypical because my track record isn’t great.

Is that just a long-winded way to describe an average crush? Does it vary from person to person?

    The traditional understanding is a minor infatuation with someone

    Problem is, that's just the tip of the iceberg since romance isn't exactly a basic thing

    There's the friend-crush (or Smush as some people call it) where you just really want to be friends with someone

    There's the sex-crush where you basically just want to fuck someone and there's nothing deeper than that

    Then there's people like me, who get crushes and fall in love with just about anyone and experience dizzying highs and lows as a result pain
