How do I know I have a crush on someone? Ok, I've finally asked the question. The issue is I'm dealing with hormones, and have no idea what it's like. How will I know?

when you think of them everyday always want to talk to them and feel a strange connection to them

It's different for everyone really. You may not know until you're eighteen....like I did. I would say that once you find someone you care about, can't go on for a day without speaking to, care about more than how you care for friends....then maybe you have a crush. Though as I said, it's different for everyone.
