Is It a Crush or Love?

As accurate as your answers, and no more. The quiz looks for patterns, like how well you know them, how long it's lasted and what you daydream about. It can't read your heart, and feelings shift as you get to know someone. Nobody can tell you for sure what you feel, and that includes a quiz. Time, and actually getting to know them, is the only reliable test.

A crush is mostly attraction plus imagination: you like what you see and fill in the rest. Love usually grows out of knowing someone, including their bad days and annoying habits, and wanting good things for them even when it has nothing to do with you. Neither one is fake. Plenty of love starts as a crush, and plenty of crushes are fun sparks that fade on their own.

Your feelings are real at any age, and they can be every bit as strong as an adult's. Whether it's love depends less on age than on how well you know the person and how you treat each other. What nobody can promise, at any age, is how long it lasts. That's not a reason to take it less seriously. It's a reason to be kind with it.

No. It means the feeling is real, but it's attached more to the person you've imagined than to the one you know. That happens to almost everyone. The way through is to get to know them in ordinary, everyday ways. Either the real person turns out to be someone you like, or the feeling fades on its own, and both of those are fine.

That's a different question, and it's about their signals rather than your feelings. Our signal quizzes, Does She Like Me? and Does He Like Me?, look at what they actually do. Like this one, they don't ask for a sign-up or anyone's name. And no quiz can replace asking, kindly and privately, and accepting whatever they say.
