This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UPRM chapter.

Crushes can be messy—there are too many possibilities as to what could happen when you get one! However, they usually follow some kind of pattern. Here are the stages of crushing on someone, as shown by Jess from New Girl.

1. When you first see them.

 

2. Then, you actually meet them for the first time.

 

3. And your friends ask you about it, but you haven’t accepted you have a crush yet.

 

4. You find out they’re single after stalking them online.

 

5. You start hanging out, things are looking promising…

 

6. …So, you want things to be “official.”

 

7. But then… they ghost you.

 

8. You decide to give up on love.

 

9. And all the feelings rush in at once.

 

10. Soon enough, you get over it because you are strong and independent, and don’t need anyone but yourself!
