A 'crush' is a rather American term that isn't really used in many places other than the US and Canada. Ultimately, though, it means that an individual has taken a particular liking to another person. As you know in nature two creatures of opposite sexes will get together either to mate and have children, or get together to remain together for the rest of their lives. The human species does both of these things, but in the run up to finding a mate that they want to spend the rest of their lives with they will come across many potential mates.
Having a crush on someone means that you have found somebody that you subconsciously consider a suitable 'mate'. People often describe having a crush on somebody as caring for somebody a great deal, getting butterflies in the stomach whilst they are around and wanting to do things to ensure that they are well, they are safe and that they are happy. So if you have a crush on someone then they will usually be of the opposite sex (unless you are gay), and you will want to spend as much time with them as possible.
A crush often leads to a relationship. A relationship is the mutual trust between a boyfriend and girlfriend, which allows them to remain faithful to one another and to only love one another. Relationships then can of course lead to marriage in many parts of the world, which is the ceremony that two people (who started off having a 'crush' on one another) declare their love for one another and declare that they want to spend the rest of their lives together, So in a way, a crush is the stepping stone towards falling in love with somebody.
