So what can you say instead?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article will introduce seven alternatives with different levels of strength. Some can be used to talk about romance in a light or casual way, while others include a deeper nuance of strong emotions. Let's begin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Like\"><\/span><strong>Like<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use \"like\" as a basic but direct way to talk about love or feelings close to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I really <strong>like<\/strong> you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rina <strong>likes<\/strong> Adam.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>However, \"like\" has more than one meaning; it could mean the speaker has romantic feelings, or it might mean that they like someone platonically (as a friend). To avoid confusion, it's important to pay attention to context, including the speaker's tone of voice and body language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you'd prefer to use vocabulary that's a bit more clear, try one of the following expressions instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Have_a_crush\"><\/span><strong>Have a crush<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/wWmIaalP5wrgKXHbQJXQY4goBUv6bZHV23gAb1WZSb7XufLAUgAPWd-skWyrSXxVUAoR8EwLT6_ixfCIoP4ao2fa676uWQGSR9ylsrEncByvmZj-mgGFdZJu9pNX6y6EGdTjsqEbGWHXn3UpTH1-hxe9scjhTBxV4QCd6pOt3keQoPcjUu2qrWXg27stfQ\" alt=\"A woman smiling flirtatiously while sitting at a table with a man\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\"Having a crush\" on someone is the same as liking them romantically. This expression has a light nuance, so it doesn't sound as serious as \"love.\" In fact, it sounds a little <a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/blog\/language-tips\/ish-meaning\/#The_basics_of_-ish\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">childish<\/a>, but it's still commonly used even when talking about adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It's usually used when a person's feelings haven't been revealed to the person they are interested in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>My four-year-old daughter <strong>has a crush<\/strong> on a boy in her class.
