You walk into your house and all of the lights are off. There is no sound or feeling of any presence from anyone in the house. You decide to watch television to pass the time. Six hours go by, and all of a sudden, out of a fog of love, your roommate and his girlfriend come out of their cave. You finally hang out with your pal and every time you ask him a question, she will answer for him. You go into your bathroom, and there is a bottle of Herbal Essences shampoo and a Venus Razor in the shower. What does all this mean to you? From a third party perspective, you are experiencing the infamous "boo crush."

Boo crushing is a term that was coined to express when a male and female revolve their lifestyle around each other. They start doing everything together such as eating, watching movies, sleeping, showering and getting dressed together. You know you see a boo crushing couple when they start to look alike. If they aren't together, then they will be either running the minutes up on their cell phone bill or filling their inbox with text messages.

Looking in at a pair of boo crushers can easily be seen two different ways. The first way is that you could have a sense of jealousy. If you're not one of the "boo crushees," you could have the feeling that maybe there is someone out there that would participate in this emotional event with you. The other feeling would be a sense of distance. When one of your buddies falls into this trap, a lot of bonding you used to have gets altered. Either his "better half" will always be around, or your buddy won't be around at all.

For a man to be a complete boo crusher, he needs to completely let his guard down. The compromise of the two lovers has to meet exactly in the middle. You must both exert the same amount of happiness. When a person becomes a total boo crusher, he will feel that his life has a new meaning. Not only is he breathing to stay alive, but he is also breathing to make sure the woman stays alive.

When it comes down to it, boo crushing is not necessarily a bad thing. It's just a "special" way of life. It's a very common occurrence with fresh lovebirds. Just make sure if you become a victim, save some time for your buddies. You will want them around when the party ends.
