Does 'I have a crush on you' always imply romantic emotion?
English is not my native language, but I want to know if "I’ve always had a bit of a crush on you" always implies romantic emotion. Is it something friends may say to each other?
Solution 1:
According to Dictionary.com(http://www.dictionary.com/browse/have-a-crush-on-someone), to have a crush on someone specifically refers to a romantic love for someone. Though the feelings implied may not be as much strong as those implied by the word love, but it generally is a term of endearment.
