Crush Calculator
Who is on your mind?
Nobody else will ever see this
Enter your name and your crush's name for a percentage scored from the letters. Nothing is sent anywhere and nothing is stored — which matters more on this page than on any other, because the second name is usually a secret.
Does your crush like you back?
No calculator can answer that, and this one does not try. A crush love calculator by name reads the letters in two names. Whether someone likes you is stored in their head, and there is no path from spelling to that.
This is worth being blunt about, because the question deserves a straight answer. Whether someone likes you back is not encoded in the spelling of a name, so no letter-based score can reach it. What the number gives you is a prompt to think about, not a finding.
What the score can do is give two people something to laugh at, and give one person a prompt to think about what they actually want to do. The number is a conversation piece.
If you want a reading that reflects something real, the ten-question love quiz scores answers about how two people behave. It needs a relationship that already exists, so it is the wrong tool for an unspoken crush — but it is the honest one once there is something to describe.
Why a high crush score is rare
Scores of 90% or above occur for 2.1% of name pairs. We measured every pair from a set of 40 common Indian and Western first names — 780 pairs in total.
| Band | Score | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Written All Over It | 95–99% | 0.1% |
| Worth Telling Them | 88–94% | 3.2% |
| Strong Signal | 78–87% | 15.0% |
| Promising | 68–77% | 21.2% |
| Keep Watching | 56–67% | 22.4% |
| Give It Time | 42–55% | 22.4% |
| Total Contrast | 26–41% | 13.2% |
| The Letters Disagree | 6–25% | 2.4% |
The median is 62% and the mean is 60.4%. Most people land in the middle four bands, which cover 81% of all pairs. A crush love percentage calculator that hands out 90s freely is not measuring anything — it is flattering you.
The flip side is that a high score here is genuinely uncommon. It still means nothing about your crush, but it is at least a rare event rather than a default.
Reading a low crush score
A low score means the two spellings share few letters. That is the entire content of the result, and 15.6% of all pairs land in the bottom two bands.
If a low number lands badly, the reaction is the useful part. Feeling deflated by a letter count usually means you already know how much you want this — which is real information, unlike the percentage.
The fastest way to defuse it is to change one letter and run it again. Priya and Neha score 63%; Priya and Nehaa score 17%. Forty-six points from a silent letter, and nothing about either person changed.
What actually signals a crush is mutual
Reciprocated attention, initiated contact and physical orientation — the three things researchers consistently point at, and the three things no name-based tool can see.
- 1 Who starts the conversation. Consistently being the one who messages first is the clearest signal that interest is one-sided.
- 2 Response effort, not response speed. A slow but substantial reply says more than an instant one-word answer.
- 3 Whether they remember small things. Recalling something you mentioned once is attention, and attention is the honest measure.
- 4 Orientation in a group. Who someone turns towards when they laugh is a well-documented tell and costs nothing to notice.
- 5 Whether they make plans that include you specifically, rather than inviting you to plans that already existed.
Every item on that list is observable this week and none of it needs a calculator. A me and my crush love calculator result is entertainment; the list above is the actual answer to the question that brought you here.
Searches for a love crush calculator by date of birth are looking for that last row. Dates are a different input and a different calculation, with its own weights published on that page.
Crush and relationship are different questions
A crush has no shared history to measure, which rules out every tool that needs one. This page is built for exactly that situation: nothing has happened yet, and the result is written to say so.
| Your situation | Use | Why |
|---|---|---|
| You have not spoken to them | This page | No relationship to describe |
| You are talking but nothing is defined | This page or the love calculator | Either fits |
| You are together | Love quiz | Ten answers you can actually give |
| You know their birthday but not their spelling | Love calculator by date of birth | Reads dates instead of letters |
Searches for a love crush calculator by date of birth are looking for that last row. Dates are a different input and a different calculation, and that page publishes its weights the same way this one does.
What to do with the number
Nothing, if you are looking for permission. A percentage is not a green light and a low one is not a reason to stop.
- 1 Notice your reaction to the result. That tells you more than the result does.
- 2 Run it with the spelling changed. Watching it swing forty points is the fastest cure for taking it seriously.
- 3 Show them. Handing someone a love calculator for crush results is a low-stakes way to raise the subject, and the number gives you both something to blame.
- 4 Decide separately. Whether to say something is a decision about you and them, and no calculator is a participant in it.
The most common honest outcome of running a crush calculator is realising you already knew the answer before the page loaded.
The honest limit
This is a letter game with good manners. It is deterministic, its method is published on the main calculator page, it collects nothing, and it never claims to see inside anyone.
What actually predicts whether a crush goes anywhere is proximity, repeated contact and one person eventually saying something. None of that is in a name, and this page does not pretend otherwise.
The measurements behind that limit are written up in our accuracy guide.
Frequently asked questions
Can a crush calculator tell if my crush likes me back?
No. It reads the letters in two names, and whether someone likes you back is not encoded in spelling. Treat the score as a game, not a verdict.
How does the crush calculator work?
It folds the two names through the traditional LOVES method, then weighs a harmony index, vowel balance and numerological agreement at 38%, 34%, 16% and 12%. The same two names always return the same percentage.
What is a good crush percentage?
Anything above 78% lands in the top three bands, which happens for 18.3% of pairs. Scores of 90% or higher occur for just 2.1%, so a high number is rare — though still not a statement about your crush.
Is my crush's name stored anywhere?
No. Both names are processed in your browser and never sent to a server. There is no database and no log. You can confirm it by watching your browser's network tab while the calculator runs.
What does a low crush score mean?
That the two spellings share few letters. About 15.6% of pairs land in the bottom two bands. Adding one silent letter can move a result by more than forty points, which shows how little the number reflects.
Is the crush calculator free?
Yes. It is free with no sign-up and no limits, and it works as often as you like.
Does it matter whose name I enter first?
No. Both names are normalised and sorted before any arithmetic runs, so the result is identical either way.
Is there a crush calculator by date of birth?
Not on this page, but the love calculator by date of birth reads two birth dates instead of two names, using Life Path numbers, birthday numbers and the age gap. It is the right tool if you know their birthday but not how they spell their name.
Should I use their full name or a nickname?
Use the name you would actually call them, and the same kind of name for yourself. A shared surname alone lifts a pair by a median of 21 points, so mixing a nickname with a full name makes the comparison meaningless.
Is a crush calculator accurate?
No. It is consistent rather than accurate — the same input always gives the same output, and the method is published. Nothing about attraction can be read from the letters in a name.
