Texas State students have a place where they can express their secret love interests. So, if you have a crush on someone, you can tell the world anonymously using Twitter. Tami J tells us more about the new Crushes page.

Texas State Crushes is a Twitter account for Bobcats to post their love to others who may not think of them romantically. Similar to Texas State Confessions, this site is not affiliated with Texas State University but growing in popularity. The act of posting anonymously through ask-dot-f-m raises skepticism if crushes are real.
SB: "It's a little sketchy just 'cause you know people can, it's anonymous so at the same time I can post something about my fraternity brothers and make them feel completely stupid but at the same time you might have actual people being truthful about it."
The site encourages positive posts but some Bobcats are worried about the negative impact this site might have on students' self esteem.
SB: "I think the whole account it self brings negative attention because it kinda brings other people down who are not possibly mentioned on it." The Twitter account has only been active for a couple of weeks and has gained about three-thousand followers. For Bobcat Update I'm Tami J.
