Squish

A "crush" on someone that is not associated with a desire for a romantic or sexual relationship. The desire to get to know them and be important to them is purely platonic in nature.

Characterized by admiration, respect and affection for a person.

Usually involves feelings generally associated with having a crush on someone i.e. feeling happy when they talk to you, caring a lot about their opinion of you, looking forward to seeing them, thinking about them a lot, intense happiness when your feelings are reciprocated, etc.

Can either be used as a noun ("I've got a squish on them") or as a verb ("I'm totally squishing on them").

Girl 1: I can't get him out of my head! He's so nice, and smart, and I always feel so special around him!
Girl 2: You know he has a girlfriend, right?
Girl 1: It's not like that! I'm just squishing on him.
