I CAN’T STOP CRUSHING!!!

Hey Brandon,
I have a HUGE problem. I feel like I have a different crush every week. Sometimes every day! It’s like I’m ADDICTED TO CRUSHING!! First it was this boy named Connor. Then it was James. Then Liam. It’s never the same! My BFFs have the same long-term crushes and I wish I were like them. What should I do?

Constant Crushitis Crisis

What’s Up Constant Crushitis Crisis,

Okay, here’s my question for you: WHY do you want to be like your BFFs? Why is it better to have one long-term crush? Honestly, the crushes have no idea unless you tell them, so it’s really no big deal.

I think you could even argue it’s BETTER than a long-term crush. Because with a long-term crush you can sometimes start to despair that you’ve been crushing for so long and they’ll NEVER NOTICE YOU. But with a new crush every week, you’re always in that excited, hopeful stage. It sounds kind of great, right?

I’m guessing maybe you want to crush the same way your friends do because their way feels like the more “normal” way, and most of us want to fit in and be like other people. But as Nikki would say, sometimes you’ve just got to let your inner dork shine through!

Plus, when you crush on lots of people, you increase the odds of someone crushing on you back. And, If you crush on lots of people, it’s probably easier to move on if someone doesn’t like you, they move away, they start crushing on someone else or whatever.

The more I think about it, the better your way seems!

(Not that I’m ever going to ditch MY crush, because she’s really extra special. 😀 )

Are you a crush-a-week, crush-a-month, or crush-a-year kind of person? What are the best and worst parts of crushing? Tell us in the comments!

      I think you should just relax and be honest to yourself if really like or dislike that person.

      try to think about the reasons why u like that person. if they r good reasons, why stop crushing? if they are bad reasons, try to slowly pull away from that person. u can still be friends tho

    I’m a little glad that nobody has a crush on me ( only one person P.S I don’t like him back) but the bad part is that I like someone but I’m not sure he likes me back.

      Hi, I’m Dorky, I have been to many problems like this. so, Just listen to these tips to help you.:
      1.be yourself( P.S Most boys actually like people who are themselves.)
      2. I know you may be shy/not, just tell them that you like them or put a letter to him in his backpack with him noticing.
      3.write in a journal, notebook, etc to tell your feelings privately.
      4.If your that stressed, relax, or do what inspires you the most. That this help?

Ask Brandon a question

Get the boy side of things!

Hey, guys! Having trouble talking to the girl you like? And girls, do you ever wonder what boys are really thinking? I’ve got you covered! I’m here to give you honest advice from a dude’s point-of-view. Understanding the opposite gender doesn’t have to be as hard as Honors Calculous. As a guy, I’ve learned a thing or two about girls just by hanging out with my friend, Nikki. So, go ahead! Tell me what’s on your mind! I’ll answer a question each week and post one of the cool pics I’ve personally taken of the kids at my school.
