What this crush quiz measures
This crush quiz estimates how often you notice crush-style signals toward someone you are drawn to. Twenty original items group into four feeling domains. Results show a reflective band and domain bars. No quiz can decide whether you have a crush; only you can weigh your experience over time.
Butterflies & excitement
Giddy energy, stomach flips, mood spikes, and happy rushes when they are on your radar.
Thinking about them
Mind wandering toward them, re-reading messages, replaying conversations, and wondering what they think.
Wanting to be near them
Seeking one-on-one time, physical closeness, longer hangouts, and reasons to share space.
Nervousness around crush
Overthinking what to say, self-consciousness, tongue-tied moments, and replaying awkward lines.

What your result means
Your overall crush intensity index is the average of four domain scores, each normalized to 0 through 100. Higher percentages mean more frequent endorsement of crush-style items (and less frequent endorsement of reverse-scored indifference items). Domain bars show whether butterflies, thinking, proximity, or nervousness drives your band.
| Crush intensity band | Score range | Typical reading |
|---|---|---|
| Low Crush Vibes | 0 to 35% | Light interest or friendly warmth; worth noticing whether feelings grow over time |
| Moderate Crush | 36 to 65% | Recognizable crush pattern with mixed intensity; common when feelings are real but still forming |
| Strong Crush Energy | 66 to 100% | Frequent butterflies, preoccupation, proximity desire, and nervousness; meaningful data, still not a verdict |
Four crush intensity domains
The diagram below shows how domain scores appear in your results. High thinking-about-them with moderate proximity desire, for example, can still land you in Moderate crush if your overall average sits between bands.
What this quiz can and cannot tell you
Can tell you
- Whether your self-reported feelings lean toward low crush vibes, moderate crush, or strong crush energy on this screener
- A crush intensity index and four domain scores for butterflies, thinking, proximity, and nervousness
- Which domain bar scores highest and may deserve honest reflection first

Crush intensity, limerence, and quick self-checks
Psychologist Dorothy Tennov coined the term limerence in her 1979 book to describe an involuntary state of intense romantic attraction marked by intrusive thoughts, fear of rejection, and idealization of another person. Early crush energy often shows up as butterflies, preoccupation, wanting closeness, and nervousness around someone special. A 2010 review in Psychological Review notes that early-stage attraction can feel intense even when long-term compatibility is still unknown.
The Quiz Hub built this crush quiz as a shorter, snappier snapshot for when you want a quick read on your feelings. Twenty original items ask about excitement, mental preoccupation, proximity desire, and nervousness from your point of view. That framework helps organize mixed signals before you decide what to do next. For a deeper 24-item screener with jealousy and daydreaming domains, try our do I have a crush quiz. For a gender-specific lens toward one guy, our do I like him quiz covers attraction and emotional pull. For UK-flavoured fancy wording with butterflies and date fantasies, our do I fancy him quiz uses five domains toward one bloke. For parallel items toward a specific woman, our do I like her quiz uses similar domains. If you wonder whether this is crush or deeper love, our am I in love quiz covers attachment pull and relationship readiness.
| The Quiz Hub test | What it adds |
|---|---|
| Do I have a crush quiz | Deeper 24-item screener with jealousy sensitivity and romantic daydreaming domains |
| Do I like him quiz | Gender-specific crush signals toward one guy with attraction, emotional pull, and closeness domains |
| Do I like her quiz | Parallel crush signal screener toward one specific woman |
| Am I in love quiz | Deeper emotional intensity, attachment pull, and relationship readiness beyond early crush energy |
| This crush quiz | 20 feeling items with low crush vibes, moderate crush, and strong crush energy bands plus four domain bars |
Sample item: rating Often on drifting into thoughts about them when your mind wanders raises your thinking-about-them bar. Rating Almost always on feeling totally relaxed in their presence lowers your score through a reverse-scored item. Stress, rebound timing, and limited time together can temporarily lower scores without meaning you do not have a crush.

What if my result shows low crush vibes?
Low crush vibes means your answers suggest lighter interest or friendly warmth rather than a strong crush pattern on these items. That can mean you enjoy their company without romantic intent, you are still figuring things out, or the spark has not kicked in yet. It is a snapshot, not a permanent label.
