That non romantic crush is called a squick btw
friend you’re either confused or have made a very amusing typo, because a friend-crush/non-romantic crush is called a “squish”.
A “squick” is something that disturbs, disgusts, or annoys you, especially in the context of fanfiction or fanworks! It’s a term from mostly when I used to be on FF.net, and it’s great because it carries no sense of moral judgment, it’s a wonderful shorthand for “just not my thing, dude!”
what it isn’t is a word for a non-romantic crush, as far as I know. :D
#distressedlice#I love the term 'squick' it's very handy for conveying in one word 'nah bro not my thing it's cool you like it but I'd rather avoid!'#I wouldn't call it a squish either for what it's worth I always associated that with more of a friendship thing#and I don't really want to be friends with him#it's really hard to quantify and it confuses me.#so why bother!#I'd rather not in the end.#:)
