Why? Why do people get so caught up in wanting a crush that they talk themselves into having a crush on someone they never would normally like? That's what happens to me all the time. I hate it so much! What am I supposed to do to stop telling everyone I like someone I am fully aware I don't like in that kind of a way?
Unfortunately, it's pure hormones. I'm not an expert in this kind of science (okay, I'm not an expert in any kind of science), but I do know you can't always control the stupid chemicals swirling around your brain. It happens to all teenagers, and a lot of adults, so it's pretty inevitable that we're all going to have to deal with it sometime.
If the person you like is a pretty decent human being, then I suggest just enjoying your crush, even if it is stupid (that is, as long as you don't get all caught up in the drama of it). If your crush is a jackass (that's always a *fun* experience, of course), then try to remain unbiased towards his character by reminding yourself of whatever asshole-y things he's done. (I apologize if that came out like jibberish. I'm a little tired).
