How do I control a crush?

Question

I am developing a crush on this guy and it is freaking me out a little because I dont know him very well. I mean, I realize it is normal but I dont want my emotions to get the upper hand. How can I calm and control myself?
Thanks!

Answer 1

But why do you want to control it ? What is wrong with that guy?
Maybe the best thing to do ( not to control the crush ) is to try to know the boy, to see if you can like him. Sometimes we dress a frog with prince clothing and afterwards we ask ourselves why we made that horrible choice! Try ( IF POSSIBLE ) to be objectiv. And if the guy is OK, why not?

Answer 2

Does it need control? Sometimes these things happen. You may not know him, but you will have seen him and how he interacts with others, and you like that, assuming that it is not based on physical attraction alone. Now, I would normally let the emotions run their course, as all overwhelming emotions do, but if you really need to control them, think about how he doesn't really matter in the world. He's one person in a world of many, who has done nothing affecting those many others. He may have potential, or have done much compared to other people, but he is still insignificant in general. He will not be remembered a century from now.
But I do think you should let the emotions do what they want until they start actually causing a problem. If you work too hard bottling them up, they will eventually get the upper hand and come out anyway.
Good luck!

Answer 3

the only best way to control a crush is to stay away from that person for a while until you feel like you can control the situation, if you stay away and you still feel the same then maybe its just inevitable that you like the guy! Hahaha just do your best! Dont be close to him or try to get close and maybe it will help! Best wishes to you!

Answer 4

Just use your head. Realize that you need to protect yourself by learning about him first before taking the leap. This is how you learn to control your emotions. It is good practice for when you get older!!

Answer 5

nice 2 know i ain't the only one, it happened 2 me 2. :] just try getting to know him, see if u have anything in common. whatever u do, DON'T GIVE UP! talk 2 him, i didn't and now i sorely regret that. and if it doesn't work, theres other fish in the sea. :] the best thing to do when hes around and u get the butterflys is to simply breath in and out and think :]

Answer 6

You see i've learned that when i try to control it, it works for like a couple weeks, but then when i think i'm over it , it comes right back and it comes back really bad.

hahaha.

I dont really think you can, or atleast i've given up.

Answer 7

May sound strange, but look up videos of other guys on youtube, or talk to other guys, though you probably will look for that guy every few seconds, you just have to concentrate on other guys.

Answer 8

well whenever im around her i get that feeling but i just fight it. i usually talk to her but i find it hard. difficult it may be but you mainly just have to act as normal as possible

Answer 9

if you dont want to like him, think of everything bad about him


but its fine if you like somone right after meeting them, just dont convince yourself your in love
