How d'you forget someone quickly? If you have any suggestions on how to not feel, I would be more than happy to listen (or in this case, read).
I used to get crushes. These days they happen very very infrequently. Now that they don't happen too much, I actually miss them.

Most of my biggest regrets in life are when I was younger and failing to act on my crushes.
Don't try to ignore or forget a crush. At least talk to the person. If you make yourself available and chat, and they don't ask you out, at least you tried. But I don't recommend sitting on the sidelines. Besides, perhaps if you get to know them, they will ask you out, or you discover they are totally not who you thought they were, and the crush will fade naturally.

Simply remove myself from their vicinity.

Refrain from conversations or talks that can lead to my unintended flirting or what appears to be "coyish" behavior.

Basically, keep it real. Be polite. Be friendly, but keep a distance. Because I am well aware of how I want to be treated. So keep it cool and respect people's boundaries.

I'm dealing with that now. It's hard, in this case the girl actually loved me, but could no handle a relationship due to work and family problems. She is still a good friend a year later. I'm still in love with her, but haven't emotionally mentally moved on

I met a woman in 1971 and was smitten from that very moment. We became close friends but nothing romantic. We both eventially met someone else and married. I for 27 years. During my marriage I often thought of my friend and wondered what could have been. Well, 27 years later my wife and I divorced and for two years I searched for her. I found her in a different state across the country. I contacted her and she was also divorced. For 5-6 months we talked on the phone to re-aquaint ourselves with each other. I talked her into getting together with me on a more serious note this time. During our talks I found out that she was smitten with me also but we both were to afraid of messing up a good friendship. So, after almost 30 years apart, we are now together for almost 12 years and have been married for almost 4 years. If we would have spoken up back in 1971 we could have been together all this time.
