The definition you used from dictionary.com nailed it on the head. I frequently see 'Do you have a crush on.........?' I started thinking that I haven't had a 'crush' since the 7th or 8th grade.....maybe even sooner than that LOL.

I too was curious if the term 'crush' had a different meaning within the deaf community than it did in the hearing community. I'd love to see everyones thoughts about this topic.
Your post got me wondering because you are hearing.

What you use the word when you attract somebody?

British language: We (hearing and deaf) use the word "fancy" when we attract somebody.

Something like that: I fancy my teacher, eg.
