A crushmate is a person whom you like and who likes you back. You both know that you like each other, but you are not dating for some reason. Having a crushmate is that step between the friend zone and actually going out.
"Hey, I saw you and Rachel talking today." *nudge nudge*
"Yeah, she's just so great."
"You guys are such a cute couple."
"Nah, we're not going out. We're just crushmates."
"Why don't you just ask her out? You obviously like each other!"
"Yeah, we both know. It's just complicated..."
