Having a crush can be both awful and wonderful at the same time, but easily the worst part is not knowing whether or not they like you back.

Maybe with a little extra perspective, but all the same awkward, self-conscious emotions. And no one knows if it's going to go somewhere or end in heartbreak before these feelings even get off the ground.

But the truth is that whether you're an introvert or an extrovert, whether you're nursing an office crush or have it bad for one of your friends, most people have a habit of developing those pesky romantic-like feelings for other humans.
