In this sense a crush is an immature sort of 'love' and it isn't really considered real love. For a start, it only goes one way - one person has a crush on another but the other doesn't feel the same way. Also, it tends to be something that young people get - a sort of rehearsal of feelings for when they are older.

For instance, a schoolgirl might have a crush on her teacher, or on a rock star. You can have a crush on someone without actually knowing them very well -- but you wouldn't seriously claim to love someone if you didn't actually know them personally.
