Few online trends delight me as much today as they did the first time I saw them, but my love for tweets that encourage people to disclose their secret crushes remains as strong as ever.

Oftentimes, they start with the words, "If you have a crush on me," and end with some version of, "tell me now." They're straight to the point, and they never fail to amuse me.

"If anyone has a crush on me tweets" vary in structure, but as people have started adding their own personal flair to the format, a common theme has emerged: Retail therapy.

Anyone gonna admit they have a crush on me and ask me to be their valentine before I spend all my Valentine’s money on the animal crossing preorder!

If you have a crush on me, tell me before I spend my valentines day money on Costco hot dogs.

If you have a crush on me tell me now before I spend my Valentine’s dinner money ordering Uber Eats?

While most people who use the "if you have a crush on me" prompt are searching for someone who admires them, others use the format to beg followers to keep all their crushes secret

Whether the realization of someone having a crush on them would be too overwhelming, or they're afraid of being put in an uncomfortable or unrequited crush situation, some people tweet things like, "If you have a crush on me, now's the time to keep it to yourself."

It's cuffing season so if you have a crush on me now's the time to keep it to yourself, I'm busy

it's midnight on the last day of the decade 💕 if you have a crush on me now's the time to keep that shit to yourself

In times when you're feeling particularly lonely, consider tweeting a personalized version of "If you have a crush on me, tell me now." It's funny, cathartic, and who knows, maybe you'll actually encourage someone who has a secret crush on you to slide into your DMs
