Hello!
I've seen a lot of people talk about their squishes and how it's not that different from romantic feelings. I used to say I got squishes in the past but I find myself not really relating to those experiences ? I remember having this "feeling" with both men and women, even though they're rare. Basically, I can just look at someone (often guys) and tell myself "wow they are very handsome/cute" (i have a strong aesthetic attraction) and just stare at them (sounds creepy...). I might want to become friends (depends on how "cool" I think they are because sometimes they can be too cool for me and i'll just be content watching them) but that's it. I might be happy when they enter a room i'm in but once they're out of my sight, I can forget them easily
So I wonder if these are squishes, something else, or are they basic crushes and i'm just "too shy" to go further ?
