Just a crush?

[saucyspice]

Have been fancying an acquaintance(not quite someone I'd consider a friend) of mine for about half a year - genuinely thought he was perfect for me! I have recently been spending more time with him and have realised I'm not actually as into him after all - have I built it up too much in my head and put too much pressure on him to be perfect or should I leave it and accept that we're not really compatible?

Do you think you just know when someone is the one or do you have to give it chance to develop?

Are you two dating?

If it faded once you got to know him then I'd say you put him on a pedestal a bit and projected what you needed fantasy wise. People don't live up to that usually.

@FabledChinHair That's exactly what I think has happened, I guess it's trying to make myself realise that while he may not live up to my 'fantasy' version the real him could still be lovely without feeling too disappointed ifyswim?

Two Cures for Love

1. Don’t see him. Don’t phone or write a letter.
2. The easy way: get to know him better.
