Sorry to post yet another thread. I was just curious about the forum's opinions on a this issue as more of a discussion.

So I have a huge crush on another client in my group therapy sessions. He's so smart, kind, and we have a lot of common interests. I also really think he likes me back... which that alone is amazing to me because I believed so deeply that I'm totally undesirable.

Now, I'm not going to pursue a romantic relationship with him for a bunch of reasons. Not only is it strictly forbidden in my program, but I know that I am not emotionally ready to sustain a healthy relationship with someone and the last thing I need right now is an unhealthy, dependent relationship. I'm just going to hold on to the memories that a guy actually might have liked me back for a rainy day instead of acting on anything. So even though I am not going to do this, I was just curious if you guys think pursuing someone you meet in group therapy is ever appropriate and under what circumstances you think it would be.
