Characterstics of a crush
Attraction is very subjective. A person may develop a crush on someone based on their appearance, mannerisms, personality, profession, etc. However, a crush typically is a temporary infatuation with someone you just met or don't know well. Once you get to know the person, the crush feeling wears off, and you move towards love, friendship, or disillusionment (in some cases).
