      I would say most of the time, yes. They still might be your crush if you are rejected though. You also might have a work crush on someone, but know it’s not real or you’re already in a relationship. Then you wouldn’t ask them out for other reasons than being afraid. I probably broke this down too much.

      Yeah, I think it was gen Z that started saying “my crush” instead of “someone I have a crush on” years ago.

      I’ve always thought it was a weirdly possessive way of phrasing it.
