Crushes are completely natural. It is just how we deal with them is important. Crushes are just that. A short term attraction to opposite gender which might get over time or might be we actually fall for them real hard?

Technically, in Islam, we are not allowed to mingle with the opposite gender. We also don't go date, But we can totally talk to someone of the opposite gender with respect, it would be unwise to emotionally get attached to someone you're not planning to get married which I see is quite common nowadays.

Love is of course a very difficult feeling to explain as I'm not an expert in it. For me love is about those moments, which fill warmth in the heart. 

Some really confused with love and crush. If it isn't love it could be a simple attraction or a liking. Or it could be emptiness, loneliness which that feelings isn't real but more of a distraction. And it could be a "love" for an image created in one's mind, a far better version of the actual person. If you're in a state of denial which i think it is worst  because you could hurt yourself in the process and possibly the other person too. Nothing is better than being truly mindful and aware of our emotions and feelings. Accepting our thoughts and sitting with them, not be afraid of them, not judging them. Just listen closely and being honest with ourselves. A thing that matters a lot and avoids heartache and pain. 

Crush isn't considered love, it is not a genuine feelings, it is a warning. Or you are wondering what feelings you have for someone and that could be you think of them as friend, but are around them them so much you can't place your feelings, or something along these lines. Or you are wondering what is another word for love, but it doesn't have strong connections which could mean that you like them, or they like you, which isn't a crush, and it is not true love, but rather something in between. It is defined differently between people.
