Having a crush on someone has many similarities to having an ex boyfriend/girlfriend. I have come to the conclusion that no contact is best policy whether I have a crush on someone or whether it is an ex girlfriend.

 

However since I work the same job as my crush NC is impossible. I will need LC to remain professional with her. The same applies if you have an ex lover working the same place. Unfortunately you would need LC in that case to remain professional. This form of LC with a crush or an ex lover would just be work related talk and nothing else.

 

The fact that you would have to see them at work makes no contact an impossibility. However I have done what is within my power to limit contact with my crush such as changing my work schedule so that I get to be on the same shift as her for 3-4 hours instead of 8 hours. So the amount of interaction has been reduced with my schedule change.

 

It is a good thing I haven't gone out with my crush because if it is already painful now seeing her at work then imagine how much more painful it would be if we dated awhile and broke up. Then what I am going through now before even starting up anything is a real picnic. So it is a double edge sword and in some ways it is a blessing in disguise that we have not gone out on a date.

 

I will be working another job in less than 6 months. If I can manage to bunker down and bite the bullet until then I will finally have the opportunity to get over her after I leave. Then I can implement no contact with my crush. I may not even have to wait 6 months as she has plans to change jobs herself before that. So whichever one of us leaves first that will be the opportunity for me to go into strict no contact mode. I find that just seeing her face stirs up those feelings in me and that's not good.

Have you ever had a crush on someone and found that no contact made it easier to get over them? To me its an out of sight out of mind thing like with an ex.
