Tell Greywing: Crushes

Crushes.

When you have one, should you tell the person you have a crush on? Does telling (or not) make your situation better or worse?

When you are being crushed on (that is some pretty terrible wording), does having that knowledge place some responsibility on you toward the person who is crushing on you? Should you treat that person differently?

What is fair and unfair? Are there rules?

Discuss.

:D

I don't think there are any "right" answers, just opinions. But since people keep telling me I think too much (not an unusual occurrence), I thought I'd let others do the thinking for me.

ETA: AHAHAHAHAHAHA. I guess we need to figure out what a "crush" is first. XD

ETA 2: What did we learn?

Crushes: probably should be transitory. Otherwise, you're screwed. Better idea not to confess if you have one? Seek to maintain the status quo if someone is crushing on you and you have no interest?

ifuritka is a tease. And European. And apparently they don't have "crushes."

just_keep_on just wants to reach a definitive answer. Stop confusing her, k?

iacus has magic hands. And should put the moves on the womenz. Take notes!

maxthebd is, as ever, a troublemaker. (Love ya, Max!)

I just need to slut it up. Only I can't 'cause I'm too lazy and don't have moves and/or a wingman. Sadness. XD

Now you don't have to read 100+ comments. :)
