have developed an insane crush on someone and now can barely think straight for worrying everyone can tell what I'm thinking to wanting to be near him all the time.
It is the last thing I want to happen and hope you have tips for getting over it sharpish!

I have tried thinking he is probably really boring,may well wear white socks or sandals and isn't all that tall ~ not worked so far!

I still can't stop looking at him it's bizarre!!!

Today I felt upset because he didn't sit near to me and it quite ruined my day.lol.

Please help

haha sounds very similar

i work very closely with this guy and altho usually friendly am also very shy if i think he knows

if i were more confident i would be able to flirt and not really care what he thinks

but for me easier said than done lol

Try and imagine all the gross things he might do when nobody else is around, e.g:
-sniffing his (white) socks to tell if they're clean before putting them on;

-farting loudly then sitting in a gas cloud

-picking his nose

-talking to his cat in a camp old lady falsetto

-has a teeny peeny that he calls The Captain

haha they're good thanks

he is v confident maybe that could turn into big sense of entitlement/fancying himself a bit

bit overweight

bit reserved

hi jajas
no i managed to tone it down to the point of not being able to look at him,then got close again and then withdrew a bit again

it isn't noticeable by others now as i am very low key

but i am wondering if he knows and only half careif he does...on confident days i don't care but on shy days i feel mortified

still very friendly ...though wouldn't like to think he's clocking all this up and laughing at me secretly

thought of one...

all those men who i have tried to fend off over the years esp in my teens and twenties...they were all much the same really and thinking that this one is that much different is probably wrong...i mean basically men are all quite similar once you get down to it

better to wait till i am fully single and see who i meet...and that should come second to what bed and tv i'm going to buy for my new place and how cool it's going to be on my own with the dcs

Suchacrush I think I have tapped into yours and mine situation. It's work and mine is unusual, not sure about yours, so it means in that I am attracted to someone totally alien to the usual men I meet in my social circle. So I see this one as different.

I will affirm that underneath it all, all men are the same. My crush is no different, if he was he wouldn't be sending out the vibes.

suchacrush · 15/02/2010 00:11

abouteve... mine also is a different sort of man to usual man i would meet and i have fallen for him because he is good at the job i suppose

i seem to be completely fascinated by him and his interest in me could be explained the same way

Can you transfer those feelings back onto your partner?
Did you go out for Valentines, or could you plan something romantic this week?

suchacrush · 15/02/2010 09:43

no my relationship with my partner is over

OP posts:
suchacrush · 16/02/2010 11:51

it is wearing off a bit..out of sight out of mind i guess

why do we get these crushes and why are they so consuming esp when we can't have the object of our desires??

OP posts:
Remotew · 16/02/2010 12:16

I don't know, maybe a psychologist could explain it. I suppose it's natures way of showing us that we are in the wrong relationship or in my case, it's time to get one. I do know people who are happy with their current partners that have 'crushes' on other people, so my theory doesn't stand up.
