 Have you ever had a crush on someone, but didn't know why or wondered why you're attracted to a specific type of person? Well, you're certainly not alone. For decades, psychologists have been trying to analyze and understand the complex processes that govern the laws of love and attraction. As a quick disclaimer, we want to note that this video is created for entertainment purposes only and should not be taken too seriously. With that said, here are six of the most common types of crushes and what your type of crush says about you. Number one, the baddie with a soft side. Does your crush break the rules and get themselves into trouble? Even so, do you find yourself believing that their bad behavior is due to some hidden pain only you can ease? Though romances like these are usually the stuff of movies and novels, this type of attraction could speak of an unhealthy need for validation from people who are emotionally unavailable to you. If you're crushing on a baddie with a soft side, you are sensitive, sheltered, and soft-spoken and are harboring a hidden desire for reckless fun, adventure, and rebellion. Number two, the shy, mysterious type. Do you like the shy, mysterious type? If you have a crush on this type of person, you think that there's so much more to them than meets the eye. With their unassuming, easygoing, and calm nature, you find yourself attracted to this type of person because you like a good mystery. You're excited by the thrill of the chase, with a desire to pursue someone who might just turn around and surprise you. Number three, the intelligent type. Do you prefer brains over brawn? Then you are attracted to the intelligent type. You like people not for their looks or their appearance, but for their wit, charisma, and meaningful conversation. You're attracted to people who have a beautiful mind, someone you can spend hours and hours talking to without ever getting bored because they always have a lot of fascinating topics to discuss. According to psychology, people with higher IQs also have better paying jobs, more social connections, sophisticated lifestyles, and a better overall quality of life, making intelligence a very attractive trait. Number four, the best friend type. Do you often find yourself falling for your friends? Do you start to develop feelings for someone only after you've gotten close to them? As your friendship deepens, does your attraction for them grow too? If you tend to crush on your closest friends, then that just goes to show how sweet, idealistic, and pure-hearted you are. In your eyes, all the best romances start with friendship. More than just chemistry and passion, you crave intimacy, commitment, understanding and emotional connection in all your relationships. You want someone who's always there for you, someone you can trust, and someone you're comfortable around. You want a partner who's also your best friend. Number five, a celebrity crush. Do you fantasize about falling in love with your favorite celebrity? Do you want them to sweep you off your feet and whisk you away from your mundane, everyday life? If most of your crushes tend to be celebrities, then it means you're a hopeless romantic who easily falls in love with people. You quickly get attached to people because you always see the good in everyone. But this also means you tend to idealize your crushes. Your crushes on people you can't attain are more like daydream fantasies. And you use these fantasies to explore what it is you want and don't want in a romantic partner. You are a passionate person who is vocal about your thoughts and feelings. You are expressive, dreamy, and optimistic. And number six, a fictional character crush. Do you like fictional characters? Let's be real. Do you have a secret crush on Todoroki from Hero Academia? Or Mikasa from Attack of Titan? If you have a crush on someone who only exists in books, movies, or TV shows, this signifies that you have a very active imagination and that you prefer fantasy to reality. Being that you have such a rich inner world, you happily get lost in it. And most people pale in comparison to your fictional crushes. Your standards are high and you have a good idea about what you want in your ideal partner. Did you relate to this video? What's your perfect type of person to crush on?
