  Dear Heather,

I am a relatively good girl, but I recently joined a branch of the military and have found myself crushing on someone of higher rank than me. This would be perfectly normal, but he likes me too and we have ended up making out. I know this is bad, but to make matters worse, he is married. I want to date guys of my age and availability, but every time I do, I compare them to him. I just want to be back to normal but I can't get him off my mind and I have to see him often.What do I do?

Hi.

You certainly can't help who you get a crush on, but this sounds like an attraction that is better left unexplored--any more than it has been. The combination of his being married and of a higher rank would probably put you in an uncomfortable position if you were to get involved. But you seem to know all of that...

It sounds like your question is how to get over the attraction. That may just take time, but there also might be some things you can do to help speed up the process--questions you can ask yourself or different ways of thinking about this guy.

Perhaps, for example, his unavailability is actually part of your attraction. Picture him your age and free as a bird. Would you still be so into him? What about distractions? Is there some project or hobby that might distract you from thinking about him so much?

It might also help to focus on the upside of your situation. Maybe take a cue from your interest in this guy about what you might seek in an "available" boyfriend. Have you learned anything from this experience about the qualities that matter to you in a man?



 
 
Take care,
heather
