Crush And Be Done

What's with having a crush on someone? aren't we too old for that? how can you still get a crush on some guy you barely know? And being as grown-up as we are, we can see from what little we know that there's no way that it would be anything more than a crush. So why do we not get it out of our heads and get on with whatever it is that we do? Maybe because of the feelings that come with that crush, maybe that exciting giggly feeling and flirtatious behaviour that gets all your nerves working and the blood pumping inside your vains. Maybe because all the time you're on your toes waiting for that other person's next step, and thinking of steps that you could take to attract them but still be subtle enough not to expose yourself too much. I've got to admit that it is very exciting to look for signs of interest from them, to catch them while they were discreetly looking at you, or to notice how they start a conversation with you over absolutely nothing at all, or when they say that everyone missed you and someone else when both of you didn't come one day (and you know that everyone didn't really miss you both). and it is fun to see your effect on them, too when you say something funny and they laugh like you just said the funniest thing there is, even if both of you know it's really not that funny anyway, or when you both join forces to make fun of a poor unsuspecting victim and you sense that they're really enjoying it. Yes, it feels great to know you're interesting, and yes it is fabulous that you have that effect on someone you like, but it is still just a crush, you know so you have to get the best of it, get it done, and get over it! you can't just let it go to waste, right? ;)
