Crossword Genius

Lover - or crush? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

squeeze

This clue is a double definition.

'lover' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'crush?' is the second definition.
('squeeze' can be a synonym of 'crush')

'or' is the link.

(Other definitions for squeeze that I've seen before include "credit crunch?" , "Press (a lover?)" , "crowd" , "Grip or grasp" , "Extract juice from (eg, lemon)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
