If to me, you are my crush, what am I to you? [closed]

Is there a single English word for that?

For example, if Hinata calls Naruto her crush, what is Hinata to Naruto?

What can Naruto call Hinata?


If Hinata has a crush on Naruto, Hinata is Naruto's admirer.


Edit following a request to explain this answer: It doesn't help that a crush can take many forms, but Lexico offers both "A person who has a particular regard for someone" and "A person who has a sexual or romantic interest in someone" as definitions for admirer, which covers three possible types of crush: admiration, sexual attraction and romantic attraction.

As commenters have noted, it's not an exact or exclusive match and it's certainly more formal than the term crush, but I reckon admirer is the nearest word we have and covers crushes even if it is not specific to them. What it lacks is an indication of informality, brevity or intensity.

"Secret admirer" exceeds the one-word request, but it is often used is a more playful sense than plain old admirer, and examples like this article from Psychology today "How to Tell If Someone Has a Crush on You... Practical ways to detect secret admirers" specifically link secret (and not-so-secret) admirers to crushes.

You could also say that Hinata is Naruto's suitor (a bit old-fashioned though) or Natuto's wooer.
