today i walked right up to this guy i had been severly infatuated with for almost a year and started talking to him. i kept seeing him around campus and today was my last day, i knew he wouldn't be back next year, so i forced myself to approach him. i was so nervous.
my reason for sharing?
well it was really driving me crazy, this crush i had on this guy. i have a boyfriend and this made me feel really guilty, because i kept thinking,
'what is the point of a crush?'
you see someone often & you think they're attractive & you want to talk to them, but you don't really KNOW them, only what they LOOK like. so of course i went through the 'i'm being too superficial' stage.
but in the end, he turned out to be a really nice person. we had a brief chat and i found out that he really WASN'T my idea of the IDEAL person. (while previously i thought he WAS) ..
me talking to him demystified the whole obsession and brought him back to earth as a REAL person.
so my advice is to TALK to these crushes. you'll soon discover that they're just as human as you and there really is no need to make yourself sick over them.
