The look of love (ok lust) isn’t always plain sailing. Sometimes it’s met with mutual attraction and a whirlwind romance… sometimes it’s more a case of slowly stalking them into seduction. Once you don’t try and sniff them… never with the sniffing. Here are the socially acceptable signs (ok, the signs we’re willing to admit) that every woman goes through when they start crushing on a potential love interest… The moment you realise you have a crush… And it usually means you can’t mention their name without blushing. Or sweating. Or looking at the ground when they try and talk to you. Anything to avoid direct eye contact. It’s like the sun, too much heat can burn. Denying It… You start by fiercely denying yourself those feelings. How could you have a crush on someone who picked their nose the whole way through primary school?   The daydreaming begins… With an onslaught of all your possible futures together. The life where you’re married and live fabulously wealthy lives, while managing to remain super buff and become semi-famous. Just us? You play the name game… Your first name + their second name = every doodle scribble that’ll dominate your stationary for the foreseeable future. A girl can dream. The confession You will tell your best friend who will pretend to have known all along while she plagues you with questions. LOTS OF QUESTIONS. You perfect your evil stare… “HOW DARE HE TALK TO THOSE JEZEBELS? DOESN’T HE KNOW I’M STANDING RIGHT HERE?” The social media stalk You start building up a mental online profile, of every profile photo, status update, and mention of a potential other half. It started out with Bebo, before our fair hearts moved onto the trusty world of Facebook. You start working out their schedule… So you can ‘accidentally’ on purpose run into them. With complete discretion obviously. God, we’re smooth. You broaden your horizons… To enjoy some of his more random hobbies. Who doesn’t love a go at FIFA followed by a trip to the golf course? There’s the total transformation... Including perfect outfit, hair and make-up. We can thank Sandy for this one… While obsessing to a pretty ridiculous soundtrack… Jennifer Paige just gets us, you know? Video: earMUSIC And how did LeAnn Rimes have such insight so young?
