The character shown is a good example of the trope, but in the image her attraction to the guy is barely shown. We need an image that clearly shows a teenage girl in love with another guy.

She doesn't even look like she's looking at him.

The one on the left, in case you're wondering.

That could work. It might look a little better without the text, though.

Yeah, that would be perfect without the text. Although I suppose we could always just crop it.

If the picture was cropped and the text was used as a caption, that could work.

That image was gotten via google fu... looked up my version of the ep, Hard subbed though (thank god that the file name has the ep number) and there is like half a second of no subtitles. [1][2][3][4][5] (the line about the hearts he is the one who is saying that.)

I like the fourth one, where they are standing close.

I'm nominating the above pic, it shows the trope really well and as I said before, we could have the original line as a caption.

Does the pic example feature a crush that "makes little to no sense," according to the trope description?

And do we care?

It shows the trope. That's enough.

Let's see he is her useless assistant (she even says so) and she is in love just cause he is hot... and the entire ep is a Magical Girl spoof/deconstruction (down to waiting in line for the restroom just to have a place to change/transform).

She is even worse in Black Cat with Train Heartnet. although I couldn't find a good shot of that one without it looking like something else (she likes to try and kiss him but he puts a black cat between them.)

Actually, falling for someone because (s)he is hot makes a LOT of sense to me. ;)

(And I asked in the first place because of concern that a pic that didn't actually fit the trope as written would encourage/contribute to Trope Decay.)

Yeah, put it up.

I think "being hot" make justify attraction, but not the mind of intensity that this is talking about.
