Enter two names (or initials), pick your current vibe, and get a
playful crush score from 0–100 – perfect for screenshots, group chats
and overanalyzing with friends. For entertainment only.
How the Crush Meter formula works (fun, not fate)
Under the hood, this Crush Meter uses a light numerology-style formula to turn letters into numbers,
combine them, and then remix them into a flirty 0–100 score.
1. Turning names into numbers
First, each name is converted into a number. All letters are uppercased, and every A–Z is mapped to a value
(A = 1, B = 2, … Z = 26). Those values are summed to get a base number for each name. If you type “Alex” and
“Jordan”, their letters produce two separate base scores. To keep things playful and not too large, we
repeatedly add the digits of each sum until it drops below 100 – similar to simplified numerology.
2. Blending your two energies
Next, the two name numbers are mixed with a formula that is intentionally more “vibes” than science:
One name is multiplied by 7, the other by 13 (fun prime numbers for a “cosmic” feel).
The two are added together and then wrapped around 0–100 using a modulo operation.
The combined length of both names adds a tiny extra twist so “Alex + Jo” doesn’t equal “Alex + Alexander”.
The result is a pseudo-random but repeatable score for that exact pair of names – so if you try the same names
again later (with the same vibe), you’ll get the same crush score.
3. Vibe-based flavor boosts
Finally, your chosen vibe gently nudges the result. For example:
Quiet crush / just curious: the raw score is barely adjusted – it’s mostly the name combo.
Talking or dating: the score may get a small positive bump to reflect “closer connection” energy.
Long-term or married: a slightly higher bump, acknowledging history and commitment.
Situationship: a subtle negative adjustment to represent chaotic, unpredictable vibes.
None of these changes are huge; they’re just enough to make the wording feel more tailored to your situation
while keeping the calculator clearly in “fun mode”.
How to use your crush score (and not overthink it)
Think of your crush score as a meme template: the number is the hook, the explanation is the caption,
and what you do with it is where the fun (and virality) happens.
Examples of how people use it
Screenshot for stories: Run your names, screenshot the result panel and post it to Instagram or Snapchat with a cryptic caption.
Drop it in the group chat: Let your friends enter their situationships, compare scores and roast each other.
First-date icebreaker: If you’re both down for memes, run it together while waiting for food and laugh at the explanation.
Alt-name experiments: Try nicknames, inside jokes or emojis in the names and see which combo gives “peak crush”.
Interpreting the ranges
0–39% – Low crush energy: More “I like their vibe, but I’m not spiraling” than “This is my destiny”. Great for joking about one-sided crushes.
40–69% – Casual crush / mixed signals: There’s spark, but it feels more like “this could be something” than “fate”. Perfect for talking stages and almost-more-than-friends situations.
70–84% – Strong crush: Big butterflies, lots of brain space occupied, probably way too many screenshots saved.
85–100% – Intense crush obsession: Main-character romance mode. You’re either already together or writing fanfic in your head.
Reality check (important)
The Crush Meter doesn’t read minds, predict the future or measure consent. It can’t see your actual chemistry,
red flags, communication patterns or emotional safety. It only plays with letters and vibes. Use it as a
conversation starter, not a decision-maker.
Crush Meter FAQs
Is this based on real psychology or astrology?
No – it’s intentionally a fun, numerology-style mashup. The calculations are deterministic so the same names
give the same score, but it’s not scientific, psychological or astrological. It’s engineered for playful,
shareable results.
Will my crush know I used this?
Not unless you show them. Everything runs in your browser; your names aren’t sent to a server. If you save a
result, it’s stored in your local browser storage only. You’re in full control of what you screenshot or share.
What if we get a “low” score but our relationship is great?
Then your relationship is winning over the calculator – which is exactly how it should be. The meter is a
joke, not a judge. Treat weird scores as an excuse for memes, not drama.
Can I use this for friendships or fictional ships?
Absolutely. You can plug in best friends, fictional characters, favorite ships or celebrity crushes. The
wording leans romantic, but nothing stops you from repurposing it for whatever story your group chat is telling.
How do I make this go viral?
Use short, bold captions, tag friends, and ask people to comment their scores. Try: “Drop your crush score
👇” or “If your crush score > 80%, shoot your shot (respectfully).” The more people plug in names, the
more screenshots and shares you’ll get.
