Having a crush on someone can involve an entire range of emotions. It's a process that's annoying at first. but can end up being the best thing ever if done properly. If you've ever experienced the process that comes with liking someone new, then you'll be able to relate to the stages below.

1. Disinterest

Nah, I don't like them. How could I? I'm cold-hearted and selfish, right? Who needs the drama that comes with a relationship?

2. Complete Denial

I don't need anybody else. I'm fine all by myself. They're cute, but I just need to focus on me right now. Besides, I don't have time to commit to anyone else.

3. Annoyance

Ugh, why do I feel so weird when I see them? I don't want someone else controlling my feelings. This is gross. Make it stop.

4. Uncertainty

Should I give in, or should I ignore these feelings? What's the right move?! Nothing seems like the right decision at this point.

5. Caution

Maybe liking them wouldn't be such a bad idea. However, past experiences have taught you to approach a new relationship with caution. You don't want to ignore red flags and screw yourself over from the start.

6. Acceptance

They've proven themselves to be a viable candidate for your heart. What the heck, why not? Let's give this thing a shot.

7. Admitting the Truth

Now that they know you like them, everything seems a whole lot easier. You're just ready to see where things go and get to know them on a deeper level.

8. Giving Into the Feels

You no longer cringe when they give you butterflies. Now, you get to experience the feelings without any reservations. You admit it---you're attracted to them, and that's no longer a scary thought.

9. Commitment

.

You've finally committed to pursue them and them alone. You'd do anything just to make them smile or cheer them up after a bad day. You know that your relationship will be one for the books, and you can't wait to start filling up the pages.
