time out from work because of a stupid crush
Ahh, this is what is feels like to be 14 again. Except now I have the cognitive ability to understand that I am being utterly ridiculous and foolish about this whole thing. For the last 6 months, I have had an on-again, off-again crush on someone who I know I will never date- which is really, really irritating. Every time he's gone and I get over him and I'm not thinking about him anymore, poof he shows up like some kind of bad rash and makes me relive the entire experience of liking him. Except each time, it gets worse and I just end up liking him more and more with the recovery time becoming greater and greater. I don't know what to do about this and would appreciate any advice that people could offer. What do I do to make a friendship work here and not let myself become engrossed in myself being engrossed in him? Any ideas?
