8 Things You Should Never Say to Your Crush¶

Eight remarks the channel says to avoid with a crush, mostly things that read as petty, needy, possessive, or as rushing the relationship.

Key points¶

Do not say they are better than your ex, or compare the two; it signals you are still bitter and not over your ex.
Do not tell them you stalk their social media; it can scare them off even if their profiles are public.
Do not pressure them about not replying; you come off as needy, and they may just be busy.
Do not say your family wants to meet them when the relationship is new or unestablished; it feels rushed and overwhelming.
Do not quiz them about feelings for their ex too early; without rapport it reads as nosy or jealous.
Do not note down every detail about them (what they wore each day); it comes off as intrusive and obsessive.
Do not ask them to compare you to others ("am I better-looking?"); it reads as possessive and jealous.
Do not tell them who they can or cannot spend time with; it is controlling and drives them away.
