Should you tell someone you have a crush on them?

And that's the thing; to have a crush on someone without telling them is to actively withhold information that they might need. Don't deny someone the compliment of a crush, or the pleasure of being liked. Just tell them, briefly and respectfully, that you think they're good looking and that you have a crush on them.

What makes you have a crush on someone?
