I think that internet crushes are about 1/10th as real as real life crushes. Having a crush on someone who lives more than 1000 miles away also diminishes that crush to about 1/10 of the original 1/10th. So anyone I have a crush on here is about 1/100th as real of a crush as I could have on someone in real life. 
So the strength of a crush is equal to the force of attraction divided by a tenth of the distance in miles?
In other words, c=a/0.1d?
I think you might be on to something here.

That would be cool, but you can't just assume that a=1/10th...there would have to be another equation to determine a based on many factors of the online crushing.

You have a point. If one is perceived to have an attraction of, say, 60 units and lives 3,000 miles away, that would put the crush at 0.2, or 20%. If one were to witness an attraction to someone only mildly, at around 10 units, but who is within a range of 10ft or so, the crush would be at 52,801, or 5,280,110%. A logarithmic way of calculating this would be better.

That's too much knowledge right there for me. Apologize to my brain!

Makayla, I think you'll be fine. He really won't mind.
Maybe wait a little longer if you are unsure...but I reiterate that point: you only got one life. Haha, it's embarrassing sometimes...but so long as you say it's just a little crush or a light-hearted one...I think they'll just take it as a compliment.

Took me 2 months to tell my crush I liked her, even if she didn't I realized there was no harm done, now that I'm 21 I think of the crushes I did have in high/middle school I never told.. man I suck.
In any case, wrong planet is much different than high school.

I've never told someone irl that I had a crush on them.
But for Trigas, I don't even think I started out saying I had a crush on him, I started out flirting and I'm not gonna say much more than that.
Had I said anything in high school though, haha, that would have been disaster. Actually, I kind of did sorta say I had a crush and it ended up ruining a friendship (but it didn't put it bluntly 
)
It is! Sooooooooo much different! I like wp 100X more than high school!

Sometimes I look back and think of the ones I did have in high school and think, what if I did say something? I mean it could've ended up in disaster.
In any case I don't miss high school at all.
It took me 2 months of talking to this girl until I was certain she liked me until I told her
I guess I'm just very autistic.
