1. You're excited for your friend. Crushes are fun! At least, um, kind of.
2. You talk about how cute they are. A LOT. These conversations take place in the caf, in homeroom, in gym class, after school in Maggie's basement, and even across the room during a school dance. This week alone, you've already covered how incredibly soft and touchable their hair looks, that cute face they make when they're goofing off with their friends, and how nice their skin is. And it's only Tuesday.
3. You've had tough talks about their chances. Obviously your friend REALLY wants things to work out with her crush, so you talk about it constantly. But these conversations can prompt some sticky questions. Like, does the crush even know your friend exists? Do they ever talk? Is her crush single? You don't really know what to say.
4. If her crush is a shot in the dark, you feel like a terrible friend. Your friend is obsessed with someone she's never even spoken to, or who is dating someone else. Should you let her down easy, or indulge her fantasy? You don't want her to be mad at you for telling the truth, but you don't want to give her false hope, either.
5. You've analyzed a million possible strategies for making something happen with her crush. Should your friend tell her crush she likes them, or is it better for her to drop hints and see if they make the first move? Lots of planning goes into this, trust.
6. Every time their crush walks by you actually get butterflies. It's crazy — this is your friend's crush, not yours. But you've spent so much time obsessing with your friend over them, and you know so many ~secrets~ about them that you're afraid you'll accidentally blurt out that you can't help but get nervous any time you see them.
7. But you also wish you could tell your friend to stop bugging you every time their crush walks by. You're like, "Seriously. I get it. You cross paths. Wooooooo."
8. Every time you friend starts a conversation with, "He/she said..." you know exactly who they're talking about. As if the conversation could be about anyone else.
9. Reading their conversations is creepy, even if your friend gave you permission. You can't shake the feeling that you're invading their privacy. But you gotta push through the creeps, because your friend wants your feedback on ~exactly~ what you think their crush meant by ending a text with an ellipsis instead of a period.
10. You know way too much about someone you've barely ever spoken to. Which side they part their hair on. Their class schedule. The exact shade of their eyes (more "ocean blue" than "sky blue," btw). When you finally do speak to them — even if it's just for five seconds when you end up on the same ultimate frisbee team in gym class — you're worried you'll accidentally spill some of this mega-creepy info you shouldn't know but do. Fortunately for your friend's dignity, you do not.
11. You've already promised to be a bridesmaid in their future wedding. In turn, she's promised to not force you to wear an ugly dress. #friendshipgoals
12. If you're in a relationship, you've talked about going on double dates. It will be so much fun!
13. You wish you knew what to say. Giving thoughtful advice to your friend is hard, especially when you barely know the person they're crushing on. Sometimes you want to give your friend rock-solid advice, but other times, you're just kind of like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
14. Sometimes you just want to scream, "OH MY GOD, SHUT UP ABOUT YOUR CRUSH!" As much as you love your BFF and you know she can't help herself, her obsessing can drive you nuts from time to time.
15. But you'd never say "shut up" because she's always been there to listen to you obsess over your crush. It's just one of the many reasons you love her!
Right or wrong???
