The Crush Factor
I am a girl that has had many crushes in my lifetime so far. They are almost always different, not one like the other, and in a spare moment I started to wonder what is it about them that made them my crush.
It was a host of things that drew me to each and everyone of them:
- sense of humor
- similar interests
- dreams and goals they had
- shared beliefs
- physical attraction
- their smile/lips
- their eyes
- their arms
- poetry skills
- their intellect
- their direct approach
- values they believed in
- familiarity
- comfort around them.
It may be a combo of the things above that drew me to them, maybe, or maybe not. As I think about it whatever it was…they always had the CRUSH factor. That thing that draws someone in to you. That makes them the person you think about all the time. I believe I have felt the intensity of the CRUSH factor since I was in kindergarten for someone at almost every stage of my life. As I mature and start my adult chapter of life, the CRUSH factor does not overwhelm me as much but every now and again I feel a tug. Sometimes, I wonder if I have the traits that create the desired CRUSH factor for someone and if the person is just as shy as me about pursuing them.
Either way I feel that the tug of the CRUSH factor is both a blessing and a curse. On one hand it is great to think about the bliss and wonderful moments that will happen between you and that person. On the other hand most crushes never become more than a crush and it leaves someone feeling well CRUSHED.
These are just a few of my thoughts on crushes and what draws us to them. I am curious as to what others might think so please let me know: Your crush stories (the good, bad, and ugly) and what you believe the CRUSH factor to be?
Much love till next time,
