Natural
You can also say “Have you ever had a crush on someone” crush is basically a platonic love, and it is more common :)

@Diana_N_V Platonic is the opposite of romantic. Platonic relationship means non-romantic/friendly. If I have a crush on someone, my current relationship with that person is technically platonic but that’s a confusing example because crush means you’re romantically interested.

@Thanatos636 not necessarily, if you look for tha ACTUAL meaning in the cambridge dictionary you can find that the word crush is just a noun used to describe when there is the “feeling of liking someone” .... But I guess everyone is free to interpret the words crush and like however they want depending on context...
Peace ✌🏻

Fair enough. I’m just saying that it might be confusing to someone learning English to associate platonic with having a crush since it is unusual to say I have a crush on someone I like only as a friend/colleague/acquaintance. For example, I would say I have a platonic relationship with a co-worker, boss, mailman, etc. ‘Having a crush’ is a colloquial term most people use when they want more than a platonic relationship.
