How do you stop obsessing about someone? I know this takes time but I am going insane. A stupid one sided crush on a student. I can't forget him and I don't like the fact that I am thinking about him.

In a way, I feel bitter about it because ever since last year, this student showered me with compliments, visited my office very frequently for chit chat and I feel like I would not have developed the crush if he had just stayed the hell way from me. I know a part of this is my fault and I let my emotions get out of hand but something about all of this just doesn't add up.

What kind of straight guy who is engaged constantly flirts and showers his professor with compliments? Seriously? I feel like he just did not have a clue about me or he just played me. Either way it sucks.

I am working on moving on. There are plenty of guys in the world better than him. I need to remind myself. Just needed to get that off my chest. Any coping strategies welcome and thanks for those who replied to me.
