So here's my story, I'm currently deployed with the military and I have recently become infatuated with one of the contractors here. When I first arrived I immediately noticed her, in part because she is validly pretty and in part that there are very few females here. However, every else notices this as well so I didn't want to be part of this gang of drooling guys since I presume this isn't fun for her. So I barley spoke to her at all. But a few weeks back happened to come into contact and chatted I got her back ground story and I found her very impressive and nice to talk to. Since then we've been friendly, but not overly so. But I find I'm constantly thinking about her to the point that I feel physically affected (worn down, not eating much etc.). So she's leaving in a few days and I'm quite aware that this is my own mental creation more than anything but I can't seem to shake this malaise. This almost exact same scenario has happened before and it's almost like i'm just torturing myself for no reason. Any ideas why this happens and how I can shake this bad feeling?
