This new girl started in our classroom (as staff, we are all TAs) and I'm starting to crush hard on her. I haven't had a crush in like 2 years. Unless I'm actively doing something else, she ends up slowly becoming the forefront of my thoughts. Otherwise she's always in the back somehow. I'm trying to keep centered and balanced but I can't maintain it. Beyond all the random places my mind goes, all I know is that I like it more when she's around.

The reason I like her is because she's beautiful, it's interesting to learn about her because she's so specific about random things, we can disagree respectfully on so much, she has the slightest southern accent, she's an amazing artist, she quotes SpongeBob lol, and most of all, she's capable.

A lot of times, the lead teacher will ask all of us to come up with a lesson plan. Nobody else really does anything, so I take the initiative and come up with stuff. She's the only one who comes up to me and asks how she can help and will contribute ideas to me so that we come up with something for the class. If I have to step out in the middle due to another obligation or someone pulls me aside etc, she immediately picks up the mantle and continues the lesson. If she sees me having computer trouble, she'll jump in with hers. We brainstorm really well together, bounce ideas nicely, just feels like really good compatibility when we put our minds together.

I can tell she likes me at least somewhat. Asks questions, laughs if I laugh, checks to see my reaction on things, and somehow ends up next to me if we're walking somewhere or sometimes even just sitting. We're always learning about each other.

She does have a bf, so I do remind myself to always remember that and not fall too hard. But I can't stop wanting her around and idk what to do.

She's never talked about him with me, maybe I'll just continue to play it cool/neutral and not force anything

TC just imagine that she was actually your girl and some dude was making topics about her on gamefaqs. Thats probably the love of his life. Unless she tells you that theyre breaking up, I say take it easy man. If shes as personable as you say, dude is probably prepared to fight over her.

You could be her friend, at least. No harm in that.

I have no reason to assume her current relationship is either good or bad,who really knows what it's like. If she was my girl and some dude was crushing on her and made a topic, let him lol, she's still my girl at the end of the day so he can dream about whatever he wants to.

Taking it easy is overall the best thing to do and let her make the choice instead of me trying to cross that bridge. I have this gut feeling I can't shake that I want her to know that I like having her around

That reminds me of a similar time, but not quite the same - I hope you dont mind me sharing my experience but I feel it can help you.

Anyways what happened is This new girl started in our classroom (as staff, we are all TAs) and I'm starting to crush hard on her. I haven't had a crush in like 2 years. Unless I'm actively doing something else, she ends up slowly becoming the forefront of my thoughts. Otherwise she's always in the back somehow.

If she has a boyfriend then there's nothing you can do right now. Trying to get with her would make you come across as a bit of a scumbag to her and if she actually was open to the idea, would you really want to be with someone who is okay with cheating? It's fine to keep talking to her but maybe you should try to move on and find someone else

If the feelings reside then it's possible. I've tried being just friends with girls I've liked and it's never been a good place to be, I can only be friends if I don't actually like them.

Yeah if she fell for me fast then down the line I'd probably be insecure about leaving me fast too. You're right prob best to just keep being neutral, that's all that makes any sense to me

You got that much control over perception? That's impressive. And Im being genuine. You can not act on it, that's easy. But to just not see the person as attractive? That's mad control over your perception.

You just have accept that maybe there isn't anything you can do about it. It's one of those "I hate this, but I have to put up with it" situations. I don't envy you.

I'd be ok with someone willing to cheat with me. I would just keep that in mind if she started growing away from me. If she doesn't, all ot means is that I was a better match for her than homie and she needed help seeing that.

It makes me not wanna try and not want to consider the possibility and take a step back, but if I like someone in all the right ways, I can't really help it

Nows not the time - it can be the time later, try to remember right now youre literally tunnel visioning yourself and thats not healthy or fair to you >_>

Keep your love alive, but let it be free, if you complicate things for her how much do you could you really love her? Enjoy what time you got, and if shes the right one for you, shell be happy to know about your love life with others too

In some ways that's comforting, genuinely. Maybe it just sucks and just accept it instead of trying to stress over what I can do.

Something tells me I wouldn't be. Because what if later in the relationship she pulls back due to other shit like she's feeling depressed or something etc? Then my mind might automatically go to "crap she's drifting away, she might cheat on me" and suddenly I'm in a place of insecurity.

There's risk of this happening in most relationships regardless of cheating or not. Cause you're dealing with a human susceptible to human behavior. But, I get you, you don't want this specifically to play a factor. It would just be one extra thing. I think you spread the conversation too wide by saying "depressed" tho. That's a road bump I would prepare for regardless, because the whole human thing. People get depressed. It doesn't have to be anything wrong with you. They could just fall into a pit of overthinking on their own, just like you could. A part of relationships is helping each other past those times and not pushing each other away because of them.

Yeah it was a bad example, I was just trying to say that someone cheating with me would play some sort of factor down the line, I'd think. There are even exceptions to this, like some of my friends have been in long committed relationships from cheating with, but that's when the relationship was clearly on the way out. But definitely very situational and not something I'd hop on board with in general

Yeah. You have more perspective on how their relationship looks, so you definitely gotta factor that into whatever some rando says on a message board. I'm 32 and been single for awhile now. I'm just gonna find it where I can now. If it doesn't turn out to he a love story, at least it had it's moments. Better than doing nothing.
