A Few Signs You May Have A Crush
Uncontrollable giggling (girls only) and/or grinning
Needless mentions of potential crush. Particularly in stories where you have not contextualized them as a crush, where you are just mentioning them "casually" and think you're being slick, playing it cool, fooling yourself (i.e. "So this girl Amanda and I were hanging out the other day..." or "Celia's friend Rich was telling me this story..."). There is no "casually." You're not fooling anyone.
Loitering. As in, you have a million freakin' things to get to, all of them due yesterday, and you're already completely burnt from working nonstop for weeks and not leaving yourself any time to sleep, never mind just hang out, and you've promised yourself that while you can spare three hours for a little surreal fun (you've been working hard after all) that's it, after that you go home and get back to work. Efficiency! Responsibility! You're on it. But then you get to talking and it's a totally interesting conversation and sure you'll have another drink and then it's time to wave goodbye to everyone else as they head home one by one, but then there's this party and you weren't planning on going, but if you go, I'll go, so then it's off to gather friends and food and drinks and on and on until it's ten hours later and you have loitered yourself right out of all your good intentions and into 3 a.m.
Consistently thinking about making out with your potential crush. Not wondering what it would be like, because you know it would be totally awesome. More like wondering why it isn't happening right this second.
Only slightly ironic use of the word "dreamy"
