IS PURSUING YOUR CRUSH REALLY WORTH IT??

Good to you all. Hope you all are good. I can't wait to share my thoughts with you guys one again.
There is this notion about crushes that I don't really agree to. Most people think that crushes are just some kind of short-term affection you feel for someone. That could be it sometimes but not entirely. We are made to believe that you don't to pursue your crush just because.

Most times, these feelings are one-sided which makes it difficult to pursue. Having a crush usually gives an insight on something you don't like and didn't realise or didn't want to admit.
Sometimes you get a crush on someone because of their character or maybe how they treat you. We all know that love starts from crushes sometimes. One shouldn't be scared to admit that he or she has a crush on someone.

Having a crush with the intent of exploring a real relationship is very possible. For instance, Victoria Beckham once admitted to having a crush on her now husband David Beckham. There are so many celebrity couples who have admitted to this too.
Well I have always been the shy type and this sometimes is a hindrance when pursuing a crush but nevertheless, the feelings that you have can actually help boost your confidence.

I would like to know your opinion on this especially @pandev. Is pursuing your crush really worth it??.. Don't let my thoughts cloud your judgement, feel free to let me know your thoughts. Have a nice day.
