What should I do if I slowly developing feeling for someone that I shouldn’t have? How can I overcome it?

People say they are not normal feelings.

I’d distance myself from the person so I could outgrow my romantic feelings for them. Unless this is someone you have to be around often, that makes it harder of course but still doable. Be realistic with yourself about why you can’t be with that person, and try not to fantasize about the future. Often times that is what makes it hard for people to get over their crushes, they are imagining what that person would be like for them as a partner and that makes it harder to move on.

I see this person everyday

Having to see the person every day makes things soooo much harder, I remember having a crush on my coworker and we worked closely in retail so it sucked. My biggest advice to keep in mind is that this won’t last forever. At some point you’ll meet another man who distracts you or just lose interest in your crush altogether. That’s what happened with mine, I liked him for nearly 8 months before I met another guy randomly out one night. Nothing ultimately came of me and that guy, but while we were dating it distracted me from the guy at work. He actually raised the bar for me and what sort of men I wanted going forward. The guy at work didn’t align with a high caliber man, he was 35 and lived at home with no plan for his future other than working at the clothing store we were at. I had actual goals. It all helped me get over him, since he ended up not being what I wanted in the end but if I didn’t have a distraction it would’ve been harder to stop having a crush.

Can’t have? Why? Is the person married or in a position of authority over you?

[Diamondust]

No not like that

[Booklover_90]

Okay so why can’t you be with this person?
