Crazy, crazy, crazy. [More:]

This is a gyob post.

I saw a guy I used to hang with back in my late teens/early twenties. He asked me out back in the day, I blew him off. I kick myself for all of the people that liked me but I never returned interest because I thought they couldn't be serious.

Anyway, this guy is most likely an alcoholic and I think he only wears a shirt because he has to. And oh yeah, he's happily married with a small child.

He's cute and likable and I've had two beautiful and delicious dreams starring him and me since I've seen him.

When I'm driving I find myself daydreaming about him and look for his truck on the road and just generally think about him more than I should. I start to think about the ways I could see him and how I could flirt with him, and how I could present myself in such a way that he would fall head over heels in love with me. Loco, I know.

He's married. I'm married. I've lost my mind. What if I did flirt with him? Then what? I would never do anything. Why do I torture myself? I ain't ever satisfied. Ever.
Try to find out some of his worst behaviors while he's drinking. That should cure you for good.

Still, I hear you. Inexplicable crushes are part of God's cruel plan for humanity.

Yep, everyone has crushes; being married or committed doesn't magically make them go away. I'm in the happiest relationship of my life, and I still get the occasional crush -- and so does my boyfriend. Why? Because we're human, surrounded by other humans. It happens. The real issue is what you choose to do about it. Don't catastrophize, and don't beat yourself up.

Ooh! Don't worry, it's just a fun crush.
If you want it to go away though, next time you are making up your scenarios about bumping into him and flirting, have him erupt a huge, wet, smelly beer burp right while you are delivering your clever, sassy line...

So often, lorifla, I picture you as Jill Taylor on Home Improvement -- which is meant as a compliment.

Thanks for the responses.

ardiril, that is a compliment. I'm afraid Jill Taylor is loads more level-headed than I am. I'm a lunatic.

Thanks, guys. I've had crushes before. This one has caused me to think about all of these mistakes I made in my past. It's all very annoying and non-constructive. You'd want to slap me if you heard what was going on in my head. ;-)
