A young person can have a crush on an older (even a much older) celebrity or any other person. A “crush” doesn’t have to be on a peer or someone of similar age. When you have a crush, you are romantically fascinated or obsessed with another person, but he or she still seems to be a seat removed from you.

Couples often engage in a sexual relationship too soon, because of the intense feelings – without being mature enough to make long term commitments, being in the relationship long enough (more than a year) and first getting to know the person well enough. They know very little about each other, and it is mostly innocent. Puppy love happens when young people are newly dating. You give too much information about yourself too soon.You have been together for less than a year.You might lose your appetite for a while.You go out of your way to look your best for this person.You are unsure of this person’s feelings for you.

You only focus on the good qualities of the person.You are constantly checking your social media for messages from the person.You feel sexually very attracted to the person.You ignore anything bad people say about the person, especially your family.You may blush, sweat or get heart palpitations upon seeing the person.You get a rush and exciting feeling when you see this person.You can’t get enough of seeing this person.The focus of puppy love is on feelings (usually your own)– which can change quickly without explanation. The feelings that are commonly felt are very intense feelings of desire, passion and excitement.

It is part of an immature relationship without the long term commitments that comes with mature relationships. Puppy love (infatuation) is the first kind of romantic love we feel as teenagers. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep-burning, unquenchable. Young love is a flame beautiful, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering.
