Other friendships develop because you just happen to spend time with the person. For me at least (I'm not sure if this goes for everyone), I really look forward to seeing them, I think about them a lot, I have a very high opinion of them, and I really care about their opinion of me. but it's just like having a crush, only platonically. Maybe if you've never felt it, it might be hard to imagine. >I hate to be the skeptical one here, but what exactly is the difference between this and wanting to be friends with someone?<<<< But perhaps now I can call my "friend-crushes" "squishes". I'm told these feelings are stronger than the feelings most people have for friends. I used to say I got "friend-crushes", which involve me feeling very impressed by somebody or thinking that we'd get along really well as a result I really want to be friends with the person. I sort of have that when i am friends with someone but it's sort of a mushy kind of friendship, or when i'm unusually fascinated by someone i've just met, sort of a "i have really got to get to know and be close to this person." but it's just a desire for a deeper friendship, not a relationship. I just want to spend some time with him, talking and laughing. I don't care if he ends up with a girlfriend, or a boyfriend, because I don't want to be exclusive with him, I don't want to date or have sex with him. He's very sexual, so I know a relationship would never work out. There's one guy that I have a squish on right now. I may desire romance for a brief period of time, but then I'll be over it and I'll be glad that desire passed.
I just have a desire to talk to the person and be friends with them. It was getting frustrating having to say "I got crushes on people, but they weren't really crushes because blah blah, and so blah blah blah." So I finally decided to just pick a word, and I'm calling them SQUISHES.

I've been trying for a looong, loooong time how to describe the "crushes" I get on people. Others have described it beautifully, so I will copy: I added "squish" to the Urban dictionary: go vote it up so it can rise in the rankings!

You know those annoying hipsters who take up two entire tables at a cafe, lounge around with their Macbook Pro working on their debut novel for four hours, and then order a small coffee to go? This is the term the French use for those space-hogging demons.New word to add to the vocabulary of asexual experience: squish! I get squishes! Literal translation: lords of the terrace Strangely, it doesn’t seem to apply to men, even though it could and should. This slang term refers to seeing a woman who appears pretty from behind but not from the front. It means when something is adequate, sufficient or the perfect quantity. This is kind of like the Swedes’ equivalent of Goldilocks saying “Not too big, not too small, juuust right”. Literal translation: just the right amount In the Philippines, it’s more simply known as “gigil”. You know that feeling when something is so adorable it almost makes you kind of violent? In the west, it’s sometimes referred to as “cute aggression”. He’s pretty damn adorable, right? You might say he’s giving you gigil. Memorise the following terms and use them to your heart’s content. RSVP? Short for répondez s’il vous plaît - also French. It’s not crazy to use them - we already borrow so many words from other languages. We just kind of shake our fists in rage.īut here’s the good news: we’ve put together a list of terms used by other cultures for indescribable emotions, so you’ll be able to articulate yourself more clearly. When Germans see a face that looks particularly smarmy, they use the term Backpfeifengesicht. We less eloquently say, “We fackin’ ran amok mate”. When the Portuguese let loose at a party, they describe that feeling of total craziness as Desbundar. The bad news is - as common as these things are - there are no succinct English terms to express them. Or what about when you’re going through a bad time, so you indulge in copious amounts of comfort eating to make yourself feel better? YOU KNOW when you see a particularly cute puppy video, and it’s so adorable that you actually feel mildly violent?
