Top 11 Signs That You Have a Crush on a Classmate

When you like someone, you naturally want to be around them. Sometimes, you’ll even make up reasons to talk to them. You might pretend to not understand a homework problem, even though you know the solution, just to ask them for help. Your heart races, your hands get sweaty, but you still manage to talk like everything is normal. You do quirky things, trying to grab their attention, and just the fact that they glance at you for a second can make your entire day.

The first time I realized I didn’t want summer vacation or any holidays, I just wanted to go to school. For most students, a break from school is something to look forward to, but once you have a crush on someone, staying home doesn’t seem as appealing anymore. Going to class just to see them feels way more exciting. That's why you start wanting to go to school every day, especially looking forward to PE classes (even though I’m terrible at it), just to watch them play badminton, football, or cheer them on from the sidelines. I wonder if anyone else has felt this way before?

Once you develop feelings for someone, you start digging into every little detail about them – their birthday, favorite food, who they liked in the past... You especially enjoy chatting with their close friends to gather all the juicy details. Even the random things they say, you take to heart and treat them like timeless wisdom.

Girls are always more caring than guys. Sometimes, when they’re at the board, struggling to solve a problem, even if you don’t know the answer yourself, you’ll still go ask others to help them. And when they’re sick or exhausted, or just have a cold, you feel like you're catching their illness too. Seeing them slump over their desk breaks your heart, and when break time comes, you can’t help but rush over and ask the obvious question: 'Are you sick? You're acting like such a girl, always getting sick over nothing!' You say this jokingly, but deep down, you're really concerned.

Not every love story ends happily. For most girls, their feelings are unrequited; they love in silence, too afraid to confess. Instead, they sit alone, listening to sad songs, and just... thinking about them.

Once you realize you have feelings for someone, going to school suddenly becomes meaningful. Every morning, you have to make sure your hair and clothes are perfect, so you can look your best when you head out to school.

When you develop feelings for someone, it's inevitable to experience the feeling of longing. Sometimes, it's just an unexplainable ache – you know you're missing someone, a guy who has made your heart race. But when you're alone, the yearning is overwhelming, yet when you're face-to-face, you act indifferent, cold, or aloof. It’s complicated, but somehow, when you're in love, this longing never feels like a burden. It’s a clear sign you’re falling in love.

When you like someone, the need to possess them becomes intense. You'll feel extremely irritated if you see the guy you like happily chatting or joking with another girl – that's probably jealousy. Naturally, you start viewing every girl in class as your competition. If he grows too close to another girl, you’ll feel frustrated, and might even sulk and refuse to speak to him.

It’s true what they say – when you're in love, your heart no longer feels like it belongs to you. When you're next to them, how can your heart not race uncontrollably? Sometimes, your heart beats so loudly you’re afraid they might hear it, but you can’t exactly tell it to slow down. Just having them brush past you or lightly touch your sleeve is enough to make you feel like you’re losing control. There are moments when you honestly think you might faint from the intensity.

Of course, when you have a crush, you can’t help but want to steal glances at them all the time (but the moment they catch your eye, you awkwardly look away – it's like you can’t help it). Every little gesture, action, and even the smallest habit of theirs is something you pay attention to. Sometimes, sitting in class, you’ll turn from your seat to the back just to catch a glimpse of them before turning back to focus on your work.

When you like someone, every little gesture they make seems perfect, cool, or even charming. As you watch them closely, you inevitably start picking up on their habits. Whether it’s twirling a pen, biting it while thinking, scratching their head when they’re shy, or pushing up their glasses with a flick of their hand... It’s true that love can turn even the most rational person a bit silly.
