British language: We (hearing and deaf) use the word "fancy" when we attract somebody.
Something like that: I fancy my teacher, eg.

I've actually heard the word 'fancy' used here too, but not often
First, there are friendships. If you like somebody more than a friend, you can say 'I like you more than a friend'. I typically use these when it is more than a normal friendship, but not as far as dating, love, etc....
There are also other ways of saying this 'You have become very special to me' or 'I really enjoy your company....more so than just a friend'.
If I tell you that I am getting strong feelings for you, it means more than a close friend...but not love yet
I think one of the problems here is if I tell somebody I enjoy chatting with them....it is taken to mean more than it really is....I'm not sure how I can have a 'crush' on somebody if I don't know them..and I don't know how somebody can fall in love (or even develop feelings) from a couple of meetings in person or on-line chats...make sense?
