I recently developed a crush on a co-worker. But later found out from an intern that he has an LDR girlfriend.

 

Even though we get on like a ball of fire and have lots in common and to talk about, I don't want to get myself deeper in the crush. While he doesn't talk about his girlfriend, it's painful to know she exists. I don't think he likes me that way but treats me as a friend.

 

Anyway, my question is how do I stop crushing on this guy? I know it's the right thing to do but sometimes the heart doesn't go that way.

 

Anyone has tips on how to completely end this crush before it hurts me?

Reminding yourself that he is unavailable should be sufficient. Keep matters professional for now until you're back at the point that you hold no more than friendly feelings for him.

I actually remind myself of that all the time and I've been professional all this while. I also try to keep my distance but it's still hard.

 

Do I need more time to remind myself of it? And will the longer I keep my distance, the easier it gets?

As long as you are taking care of yourself, that's generally how it works.
