As
painful as they can be, crushes remain a part of life
and as we get older, you wouldn't change that awkward
feeling no longer experienced for anything in the
world. It's part of the process...a signature element
to maturity that you just have to go through and to miss
it, might just prevent the growing up process in
itself. The root dynamic of crushes may be the same
these days as they were 100 or 1000 years ago but the
expression is definitely different with the advent of
online tools such as the local news and local gossip
app, the Zipper for smart phones. Let's take a look at
how the Zipper can be used to project and amplify the
age-old feelings of a crush online.
In
the way back machine, crushes were all about word of
mouth. Maybe a friend would tell a friend who would
tell the object of your friend. Of course, this was
planned out with intended effect. Maybe the object of
the crush would know who you were or maybe it was
anonymous which always tended to stir the pot of high
school gossip. Maybe the delivery system was word of
mouth or notes. It might even be more creative with
songs, shaving cream, or the always popular...just be
real mean and snarky to the person for no reason.
Classic give-away. All we're doing with the Zipper is
updated the delivery system of said crush and here's how
it works.
Let's say you have a serious crush on someone in your
school. They have no idea (which is always the best).
You can quickly go on the Zipper local news and local
gossip app for smart phone crushing. You would probably
select the School location if you both go the same
school or the Local location (essentially where you
live). You can then post your Crush online for all the
local viewers to read it. You can even make your Crush
post anonymous during the whole post process. Make sure
to select the Crush tag so that it doesn't show in the
general local news feed to everyone as it will probably
get knocked down pretty quickly versus other genuine
local news posts (even within your school). Granted, a
crush does fit in gossip to some extent but we built a
whole tag just for crushes so why not put it there.
Plus, any viewers who are interested in whether someone
might have a crush on them would go there. So, set the
settings to Crush for the Tag criteria and to the
location that applies...generally School or Home
location. This is the best bet.
You
can also post in the Crush tag if you know of someone
elses crush on another person. You can post with your
profile info or anonymously as well but make sure not to
hurt anyone with your posts. Crushes can be trivial and
fun or they can be seriously intense. You don't want
your local gossip posts to hurt anyone...just enough to
keep things interesting which brings us to the art of
the crush.
Why
comes straight out and say, "Hey so and so, I have a
crush on you". You need to finesse it a bit more than
that. Give clues starting off with really vague and
difficult to solve ones at that. Slowly give bits of
information to lead them across the finish line. That's
the fun of the crush...a sense of gamesmanship is in
order. Either way...directly or subtle in your
delivery, the Zipper local news and local gossip app is
ready to accept your crushing details.
