    Clash and Clang: Squishes

    aerisonus:

    “squish   1. In the asexual community, the equivalent of a “crush”, but explicitly lacking an interest in forming a romantic couple or having a sexual relationship with the person in question. It does not matter if they are “in a relationship”, as long as you two can have a deep connection. A squish is an intense feeling of attraction, liking, appreciation, admiration for a person you urgently want to get to know better and become close with. It is different from “just wanting to be friends” in that there is an intensity about it and a disproportionate sense of elation when they like and appreciate you back.”

    Oh. My. Gosh.
    I didn’t know asexuals had a word for this. I thought I was crazy and was the only one who had “I’m attracted to you but it’s not romantic and it’s not sexual so am I really attracted?” kind of feelings. ._. I feel better now.

    I think the word matches the feelings quite well. :-)
