I'm sick of crushes. I can spend months planning on talking with a girl, mapping and scripting everything out in excruciating detail, but I work myself into a nervous wreck and chicken out of every chance I get. My current plan is to totally forget about girls unless one of them comes up and starts talking with me. I expect to be single for some time, but I've come to accept that. At least it's cheaper...
And then what'll happen is you'll be so distracted with something else, like, say, reading a book, you'll miss the obvious cues. Like when she says she finds you intreguing.
About a year later you'll stop, thinking back on it in your head, and suddenly go "D'OH!"
I also went through that planning thing... nearly obsessing over a girl for almost three years. Finally got the courage to ask her out. We went to the movies and all... then she realized I was attracted to her and I got the "I like you a lot... just
not like that."
Damnit.
Eh, I grew out of crushes for the most part. Still get them, or at least find myself strong attracted to one girl for a few weeks, but either I end up asking her out and getting rejected (why can't they
ever be single?) or just wandering on. The alternative is just befriending the girl, which helps.
This from the guy who hasn't been on a date in his life. >_>
