Crave
Can I use the word crave like in the following sentence.
He was craving to eat the meal that his mom was preparing for her guest.
Almost everyone will crave to go the the spa to enjoy a restful day but only few people will get a chance to accomplish this goal.
He was craving to go to the party but no one took him.
They are craving to get a nice makeover from you, are you available to fulfill their wish?
Thanks,

All your sentences sound odd to me. 'Carve' usually takes a noun as a direct object. eg She craves chocolate.

Crave is more associated with addictions than desires.
He quit smoking, but always craved cigarettes, especially when drinking a cup of coffee after a satisfying meal.
Chocolate is so good that it can be addicting!
