Okay let's talk Crush-Attacks.

This is my newly invented ailment. A crush-attack is analogous to a panic-attack. Imagine meandering along, minding your on business when

BOOM

suddenly your heart is skipping beats. your breathing becomes irregular. Adrenaline has started pumping through your system and you cannot see straight. And it's all because some guy/gal has walked before you and you are undoubtedly smitten on the spot. You have a crush, and the experience is a crush-attack.

Now a good crush does not come around often. Yeh sure, there are guys you like and find attractive but a crush is someone you meet/see and you just cannot get them out of your head. I may go even further and say that crush become more sophisticated as you grow older. A crush-attack at 14 is by no means as serious as a crush-attack of 21.

Do you feel like you know what a crush-attack is? or is this something only girls experience..? I don't know... But crush-attacks are awful when they happen properly. Fancy an external circumstance eliciting such a constricting physical response? And it's worse, b/c you can't get them out of your head! (thanks kylie)

Crush attack? No thank you.
