How do you deal with a crush that you think will never be?

theres this girl I like at work and shes told me shes dabbled abit but shes never been with a girl as far as dated or had sex....shes been with mostly men, etc. she was telling me shes had bad relationships and she cut off the one she was in, etc. I try not to like her and to stay away from her, like today I tried ignoring her and since I wasnt going to work today, I thought itd work, but soon she started texting me, Im me and all to ask if I was ok, etc...I dont want to cut her outta my life bc she seems like a great person who'd be a great friend and we've shared alot about our life with each other. She went to Europe over spring break and brought me some stuff and before that, we would do things for each other and stuff. I just dont wanna waste my time and energy or risk getting hurt. She knows I like girls and at times we joke around about stuff and she will joke around and think that all these other girls like me or want me, etc..lol..I dont know what to do, should I avoid her a bit or back off or what? I dont know..please help. Thanks.How do you deal with a crush that you think will never be?
Honey, I wish there was a great answer for this, but the best answer I got was from the movie, ';Sixteen Candles.'; When the daughter was telling her dad how much it hurt to be in love with a person who didn't even know she existed, her father said one of those great 'dad' lines...he said, ';I suppose that's why they call them crushes. If they weren't so painful, they'd probably call them something else.'; We all get caught in those relationships that will never be what we want, and we all spend lots of time with that agony, waiting, hoping, all for nothing. You can either follow the rest of us through it, and come out of it slightly bruised but wiser for the experience, or you can tell yourself ';this is never going to happen'; every time these thoughts come in, just as a verbal reminder of the reality so that you can move forward with this over time. I would be thrilled if it worked out the way you want, but only you can decide how much time and energy to devote to this relationship that may never be...and whatever time frame you pick, it will be the time frame that works for you. I hope it works out for you!How do you deal with a crush that you think will never be?
Yeah, I've been there..with straight %26amp; lesbian women...I've been ';in love alone';..there's not much you really can do...just enjoy the time you do share and have an enjoyable fantasy life...
I wouldn't avoid her to much since she seems to be a good friend, but i would tell her to relax a little because of your feelings towards her.
Well U can answer that question yourself. Do U want a friend or a lover. True friends R hard 2 come by. Lovers R a dime a dozen. Do u think this lady is going 2 B a good friend 2 You, or do want a 1 night stand? I wish U good luck.
Well, i kinda know how you feel. There's this chick that i had a crush on for 3 years and i finally got up the courage to tell her. She is now my girl friend of 4 months on the 30th. Are you absolutely positive there is nothing there? you are a strong independent woman and you should defenatly take that chance!!!!!
