I think I got a crush on my dance instructor. Which fucking sucks for all the obvious reasons. Normally I wouldn't be so worried. BUT I JUST HAD A GODDAMN ROMANTIC DREAM ABOUT HER. Seriously I just woke up from a dream about her confessing her love to me and me eagerly doing the same about her.

So how do you stop a crush from developing further? Because this is a well from which only disappointment may be drawn.

Edit: I am single btw.

From my own experience: cut all contact with that person... which may not be viable in your situation.

I had a crush on a girl when I was 14, still do, It's been 10 years. Havent seen her or talked to her for 8. Can a hypnotist or someone help.

Its not a deep crush now, but I still think about her OFTEN and am not at all over it.

Edit: jeez i wonder what it'd be like to be on the recieving end of that lol.

Yeah, I've found that learned anxiety that my brain has around crushes from my past is one thing time does not heal.

UPDATE: I JUST REACHED OUT AND SHE DOESNT EVEN REMEBER ME 😭😭. I FEEL ~~~dead inside~~~

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Ouch. That sucks 😞

At least you know though. Maybe you can move on now. Hope so 🤞

[–] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago

Oh my brain will delulu itself into something I'm sure.

[–] throwawaysalami@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So it's either quit dancing or develop romantic feelings for her? Q.E.D. I'm fucked.

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I mean, you can find a new dance instructor.

[–] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, salami, can you just switch classes? Or another dance studio, same course or something?

[–] throwawaysalami@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Yeah that's actually not that bad of an idea. If things go south I'll use this as a last resort. Change dance studios that is.
