Help me with these feelings!

Last year I was asked to attend a meeting to help with minutes and I sat next to the guy who was chairing. I’d seen this guy around at work many times but we had never spoken before (work in different departments). I always thought of him as being quite moody and serious (never says hello or smiles).

Well at this meeting, he was a completely different character! We chatted for a bit before the meeting started and he was just so lovely but wouldn’t look me in the eye or directly at me (not sure if that even means anything). I instantly got these feelings for him but I wasn’t sure what they were - it was like I had just been hit by something. There was just something about him. I’m honestly not sure if he felt something too.

Anyway, ONE YEAR on I STILL have these feelings! I have since moved locations so don’t see him around at work, have almost no contact, apart from the odd work related email so I thought that these feelings would disappear. I need/want to forget about him! I think about him almost everyday and I don’t want to anymore!

For context, I am happily married with two children. I’ve not had feelings for any other guy since meeting my husband. This guy is not even my “type” - before the meeting, I wouldn’t have even given him a second glance! But there was just something about him that has me mesmerized.

Please help! Have you ever been through anything like this before? If so, what did you do? Please, no harsh criticism, I already feel awful about having these feelings.

It's a crush,it will fade away in time and try to stop thinking about him by spending more time with your husband,try doing things together,dating and acting as you two did before having children.
It will take some time but do not overthink about it,look at it as if you have a crush on actor. Men and women have crushes all the time or at certain times in their life but it is all about how you react or/and act on it.
Good luckSmile

If you've not seen him in a while, what is triggering the feelings? When do you think of him, and what are you thinking about?
