EC, Crush and Love.

You see that person in the crowd....he, or she, looks amazing to you. A stunning face, great smile, eyes and everything else.

You think you're in love......

WAIT WAIT WAIT HOLD THE FUCK UP

You sure not?

There's a pretty big difference between Eye Candy, Crush, and Love.

A real big fucking difference, so learn it.

Eye Candy

You just like to look at that person. You haven't talked to them even once, not even made eye contact, but yes you admire the person's looks from a distance. You stalk the person everyday on twitter and facebook, just to see their face. You dream about his or her face every night before you sleep.

Yes, that's still called an eye candy, I hope you understand why. See face only.

Many people don't understand that Eye Candy means you like to look at a person because you find them pretty/handsome. You don't have to even know their names, just the face itself. Many at times from that we believe that we're “in love” and that's a load of crap. An eye candy is just pleasing to the eye, simple as that, nothing more, nothing less.

Crush

This is where things progress slightly further...

A crush. You've seen that person, you've made friends with that person, you even talk to that person regularly. Yes it's progressed from just knowing their face to knowing their names, attitude, behaviour and character. And if you still feel attracted to them somehow, yes we will call that a crush.

But no, it's still not love, don't confuse that.

A crush....is someone you like cos of their looks maybe and also their character. Someone can have the face of a fairy tale character which you feel attracted to. But once you find out about their character it can be a major turn off, and then you don't feel an attraction to them anymore. That's why many people have eye candies which they want to “get to know better” and end up disappointed.

But wait...no that's not love yet.

Love

This is a stage when you're already very close to that person, know his or her character well enough, still like them and still feel attracted to them. You also cannot go a moment without seeing/talking/listening to their voice. Yes yes really overly attached.

But there's a big difference between a crush, and love.

Let's say...you meet someone else one day, another person whom you find looks really attractive and has a great attitude you love too. And then you realise....you like them too. And yes, that's called a crush.

So what now? You have one person you love, and another person you crush on? That's bullshit.

LOVE is when you really feel for a person so much, no one else can compare. Even when you meet another person who has even better looks and personality you still love that first person even more. It's when you only have eyes for that one boy/girl and even if some Miss Universe turns up at your house the boy/girl is still the best looking in your eyes.

It means that your feelings stay loyal to a person no matter who else you meet in your life. So no matter how pretty/sexy/hunky other guys or girls are, you still only feel that crazy love for that one person and no one else can compare. It means you accept that person's flaws and bad sides, and you love them even more because of it.

That...is a rough meaning of love.

Even after all these explanations, understand that what I'm talking about here is still considered teen love and not true love. True love is when you face hardships with that person but still manage to pull through....well because you really love that other person and don't want them to get hurt by you. That's true love. Being able to go through the storms of life together without falling apart.

Hope you guys enjoyed reading this pretty sentimental and maybe mushy post. I wrote this well....because I just went through my own experience and it was really confusing for me to decide who I actually have a crush on and who I really like. But at the end of the day I really know that the girl whom I thought I was so crazily in love with, was just another crush. :)
