Having a crush feels like locating a secret garden within your heart where butterflies dance on tiptoes. Its a whimsical path, as if stepping into a dreamy land where things seem brighter and more enchanting. Each time you see them, your heart in lack of control, leaps in wild dance chasing sunbeams. Each missing moment becomes a treasure hunt you want to pursue. While the emotions are justified, there are certain things which you personally should avoid when you have a crush on someone.

 

Do not stalk them

Pursuing and chasing the crush is not a war to be won. Obsession over their physical beauty is not smartness. Their real personality might absolutely contrast with who they are in real. Finding an escape in illusions about their presence around you might be harming to your mental health. While it is tempting to follow your crush on social media, try not to obsessively monitor the likes and comments on their posts. Allow them the privacy to initiate a conversation first.

Never be too persistent after rejection

After receiving a rejection from someone you have feelings for, its significant respect their decision. Continuing to pursue them or being overly persistent can be disrespectful. Its important to comprehend their feelings and emotions and accept their decision gracefully. Since love which is not achieved is the love won.

Believe that he is good for you

Low self-esteem can affect already existing relationship with your crush. Instead of reflecting over your negatives, focus on the things you have received acclaim for. If he is rejected you, don’t let yourself down because of his criticisms instead embrace qualities which others see in you. Never let the sayings of one individual define who you are.

Avoid making him feel jealous

Manipulating or intentionally trying to make your crush feel jealous is not a healthy approach to step further. Although it’s feels cute at the first stance, yet at the same time it is childish to act this way.  Talking about other boys or girls in front of them, can make them feel less secure and incompatible. Follow a more genuine path and be faithful towards only one soulmate.

Don’t repeatedly text him/her

Continuously texting your crush might make them feel needy or annoying at the same time. If you constantly bombard them with over texting, they might lose interest in you. As it is rightly said, the ones who are far together are better far off than the ones who are close together. Its best to maintain a balance between interactions with your crush. Avoiding them in face to face circumstances at the same time might deliver wrong signals.

Don’t pretend to be someone else

Its prominent to be authentic and genuine in your interactions with others including your crush. Let them know your real personality as otherwise a false persona can lead to misunderstandings. Pretentiousness might harm the trust the trust and connection you are trying to establish. You want them to love you for not who you are trying to adapt or who you think he wants you to be.
