<p>I’m with Nancy Reagan.</p>
<p>^and you never cease to confuse me…</p>
<p>am I the only one who had to wiki “limerence?”</p>
<p>it’s not a crush. it’s limerence, okay? and he’s just unattainable.</p>
<p>…You’re not going to win this. It is a crush, as limerence isn’t even a recognized scientific phenomenon.</p>
<p>Emmmmoooootttttttttttiiiiiiooooooooonnnnnnnnnnsssssssss</p>
<p>well, i basically don’t get depressed/ecstatic except for things related to my L.O., so hm. maybe prozac would solve my problems lol.</p>
<p>Limerence is a made-up word. </p>
<p>Cccccccccccccrrrrrrruuuuuuuusssssssshhhhhh</p>
<p>no. no. no. no. this isn’t petty and insignificant like a crush. it’s TAKING OVER MY LIFE!!!</p>
<p>Who said all crushes are petty and insignificant?</p>
<p>I’m telling you, you can’t win this.</p>
<p>Yeah, seriously, you have a crush. “Limerence” is just a term that was invented to make haughty scholars feel better about their uncontrollable infatuations.</p>
<p>MJ, you’re a freshman, correct?</p>
<p>I’m a senior. I have four years of experience on you. And trust me. It’s a crush.</p>
<p>Actually, you have three years of experience on her.</p>
<p>Well, it depends on her age. I decided to assume that she’s as young as possible and then round up for maximum impact.</p>
<p>Oh. Fair enough.</p>

<p>i’m going to read he’s just not that into you.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>okay, i can make that happen. but how long is significant enough?</p>
<p>Do you actually need to get over this guy? Usually, if I try to force myself to stop liking someone, I just like them even more.
Just accept the fact that you like the guy and wait until your feeling for him are displaced by feelings for someone else. It will happen.</p>
<p>well i was wondering-- if i can plan my route so that I only pass him once during the day, but i walk really fast to avoid glancing at him, will I still be affected by pheromones or would it count as detaching myself?</p>
<p>No. It won’t.
That’s just ridiculous. Doing that will just make you more aware of him.
Don’t do anything. The feelings will go away on their own.</p>
<p>Do you go out (socially) once a week? Does he go out (socially) once a week? If so, approach him, ask him out, and he really has reason to say no. Unless he’s a jerk, you’re a jerk, or you guys live too far apart. Other than that, you’re already one step ahead of him. The fact that YOU asked him out puts you above him.</p>
