What is the evolutionary purpose of crushes?

Question

and are humans the only animals that experience them? why?

Answer 1

purpose=reproduction,  the more intelligent animals do have a crude form of crush which is really just a sudden and strong passion for coupling with another individual

Answer 2

a crush useually makes a person start to emulate anothers behaviour.

if we say that a marriage of two people 'performing at top level equally' is the most powerfull position to be in.

hopefully your crushes will teach you to step back and not become so imersed in another- that you lose who you are.

Answer 3

Even evolutionists will say that evolution has no real 'purpose.' Creationists will say that love is one of the things that God hardwired into our brains. Other animals exhibit behavior that may be inferred as love. I am a creationist, so I believe that emotions come from God.

Try rewording your question like this

2. How did crushes evolve?

3. Do animals have crushes?

Ask the right question in order to get the right answer.

Answer 5

crush, love, lust are all the same. we tend to romanticize it and call it by different names.

Its to help procreate.

Answer 6

Having crushes makes mating more likely I imagine.
