CrushAider was created out of the need for people to express and communicate their love feelings for some one special they know without the fear of rejection, embarrassment and change in the relationship dynamics. Owing to a platform like ours, every one, irrespective of their age, sex, status and location can express and communicate their special feelings to that some one special, privately, and without disclosing their identity.
The Problem
Fear of rejection if the feeling is one sided
- No matter how small, rejections are always painful
Embarrassment if the feeling is one sided or unreciprocated
- People often regret expressing their feelings when they realize the feelings are unreciprocated.
- They often become a topic of gossip and jokes among friends
Change in relationship dynamics if feeling is unreciprocated
- Friendly relationships get strained
- People start feeling uncomfortable around each other (uncomfortable environment)
- Sometimes a group of friends even fall apart
Lack of artful expression
- When proposing or expression feelings even the most gifted orators fall short of words
- What should I say? How should I say it? Are often the questions.
- People run from pillar to post to find artful ways to express their feelings.

How it works?
You can express a crush on the person you like by adding their name and email address on CrushAider. We contact such person(s) you have added on your behalf, and without disclosing your identity, we inform them that ‘Someone has a Crush on them.’
We then invite them to use our website to express crush on people/person they like by adding their name and email address.
Now, if there is a Mutual Crush between both the parties we connect them. However, if that is not the case, we do not disclose identities of the parties involved to each other.
We are not a regular dating, blind match making or a matrimonial platform.
