Oh boy. CRUSHES. You can't live with them, and you can't live without them.
If you're anything like me when you have a crush on a guy you probably can't seem to think of any way to approach him without the fear that you're going to embarrass yourself or freak the poor guy out.
So instead of actually speaking to him, and showing you're interested you decide to act like you have no interest in him at all and hope that he decides to read between the lines and makes the first move. ( Why do we do this? It's so dumb).
In honor of all the girls out there who go through the same struggle as I do when I have a crush, here are 21 thoughts that go through a girl's head when she has a crush.
1. "Oh my gosh, he is so cute!"
