Girls are always shy regarding their emotions. They do not reveal their feelings for the boys they love easily. So in the end, they keep the feelings to themselves and sometimes, push the guy she loves into the arms of another girl. We believe every girl has experienced this at least once. And every time this happens, she will be in a painful struggle.

1. You’ll try anything for him

As the saying goes, ‘love me, love my dog’. When you are secretly in love with somebody, you’ll find yourself automatically loving what he loves and hating what he hates. You would always try your best to accept and learn everything he likes so that you’ll have a mutual interest to talk about. It might look silly to others, but this is your only way to get closer to the person that you love.

2. He’s the first thing you think of every morning

It’s funny how he occurs in your mind faster than food when you wake up. But who knows what love did to our brain? Where has he been yesterday? What will he be doing today? Is he feeling happy? Having a secret crush means you will always think about him first thing in the morning. 

3. You’ll wish you could hide him away from other girls

You’re upset when he has a close female friend. You secretly wish that he could belong to you alone. But when you saw him talking happily with another girl, you would drop the idea and give them your blessings, thinking that, “Well, maybe she is the one who is good enough for him.”

4. Love is blind, but you’re pretty sure you know what you’re doing

Everyone who has a secret crush knows very well about what they are going through. Love is blind only when it is returned. But for those who are having a secret crush, you would rather stay foolish, hoping that love is really blind for you too.

5. You don’t care if others don’t understand the reason behind everything you do

Some people around you might think that it is useless to try so hard for someone who does not love you back. But little did they know that giving up your love is easier said than done. Because when love is real, it is hard to be over.

6. You sincerely hope that he will always be happy, but of course, it’s best if YOU could be the one to make him happy

His smiley face is all you want to see every day. You do not want to see him getting together with another girl, but when you noticed he looks at loving couples enviously, you would feel sad and wish that you could be the one to make him smile.

 7. You know it’s okay if you can’t be together in the end

It’s fine being friend-zoned, at least you still get to hang around with him. All you ever wanted is to stay beside him, witness his moments of joy or to wipe his tears away. Although it hurts seeing him with another person, the pain doesn’t matter as long as he is happy.

Life is kinda bittersweet when you have a crush. But it ain't living unless you have been through the having-a-crush stage, right? So hang in there, sister! You'll find someone.
