THE FIVE SUMMER CRUSHES EVERY GIRL HAS

At least once in her life, that is. Bet you'll recognize a few of the cuties on this list-but who should you actually take a chance on?

- BY MADELON BASIL

You're lying on your towel, frozen limeade in hand, bestie by your side. Out of the corner of your eye, you catch a glimpse of them walking across the pool deck. Tall, tan and...probably the last person you should be crushing on.

But summer's magic is real, and its anything-goes energy might just make even the trickiest crushes possible.

Whether it's your BFF turned dreamboat or the one literally everyone on the beach has a thing for, we've got the answer to your "Do I go for it?" dilemma. Meet the full swoon-worthy lineup—and check which crushes are actually worth chasing this season.

THE CHARMING COWORKER

Scooping ice cream just got a thousand times more interesting. Turns out your shift buddy is hardworking, hilarious... and a total hottie.

GO FOR IT?

Sure, with the right boundaries.

Their flirty banter almost makes serving sorbet fun, but remember: You're both at work. Giggling at inside jokes and chatting during breaks is fine—just don't let it distract you from what you're getting paid to do. (If other coworkers are eyerolling while you debate who makes the most Insta-worthy sundae, that's your hint.)

Ready to take things off the clock? Casually ask them to grab tacos after closing. It's a natural segue into a solo hang, and you won't have to compete with a line of customers for their attention.

If spending time together outside work becomes the new norm, yay! Just one crush caveat: You'll still be seeing this person regularly, whether it lasts or not. Keep things communicative and cordial—no drama when you share a shift, please.
