Advise on getting over a ridiculous crush

I was going to name change, but then thought "Fuck it, Cinn, take ownership of this".

A new colleague started work at Easter, and I have the most enormous crush on him. We are expected to work together, although thankfully we're not in the same building, and so I see him (always in a business context) once or twice a week. After each meeting I find it incredibly hard to think of anything but him for hours and hours afterwards. I even wake at night thinking about him. It's utterly pathetic.

I am absolutely not going to ever give him any indication of all of this turgid teenage rubbish.

But how can I get my thoughts back on the straight and narrow? DH doesn't deserve this level of distraction. And I need to maintain concentration at work, which risks being affected.

I know that compared to most of the posts on here that mine is a really minor issue. But it's causing me real angst, without any resolution in sight.

Any tips gratefully received.

Thanks for this thread - its happening to me right now and im all girly over it - totally distracted and against my better judgement im not sure I wouldn't let it be known!

The Object is a colleague, totally alpha Male, funny and charming and I think like a lot of the previous posts above its a novelty, some appreciation and a bit of fun - but finding it hard to kick the habit. :-(
