9 Absolute Don’ts When You Have a Crush on Someone

Having a crush is a crazy thing — it gives you butterflies and is just as exciting as it is terrifying. A lot of us act irrationally or inappropriately when we have a crush without even realizing it. Some of these things might jeopardize how the relationship turns out. Here are the top things you shouldn’t do when you have a crush on someone.

1. Stalk him

We all do a good social media stalk once in a while, but there’s a difference between lurking on his Instagram or Facebook and actually stalking him in person. Besides being illegal, stalking a guy gives off clingy and needy vibes which you definitely don’t want to do.

2. Talk poorly of his girlfriends or his exes

Regardless of whether they’re his current or ex-flame, it’s never cool to bash another woman. Even if he has resentment towards her, it doesn’t reflect well on yourself and your sense of integrity. If he’s currently dating someone, don’t blame her! It’s not her fault — she just has the same taste in men. Even if he’s flirting with you and sending mixed messages while in a relationship, that’s not her fault — it’s his! So don’t blame her for feeling rejected.

3. Hypersexualize him

Just like women don’t appreciate being ogled and having their bodies talked about like objects. It’ll make him feel awkward and uncomfortable if you publicly go on and on about his abs, his booty, and all the naughty things you want to do to him. Sure, you can chat with your friends about that stuff, but keep in on the DL to avoid starting rumors or having someone post it online.
