I used to like this one girl. Couldn't get myself to stop thinking about her. You know you when you like a girl because you get an extreme anxiety around her. When she texts you or you run into her in real life, you get an adrenaline rush, your heart starts beating faster. It's extremely taxing on your psyche when you get that feeling but know she doesn't like you and has moved on to hanging out with other guys. (Here's a song I used to listen you to try and get her out of my head:
Porcupine Tree - Shesmovedon - YouTube. It's called "Shesmovedon" by Porcupine Tree.)

Anyways, the other day I saw said girl and did not feel a single emotional effect. I was quite surprised at myself. It's almost weird.

Anyone ever had an experience like that?

Explain to me why that's a good feeling again. Indifference doesn't feel bad, but it doesn't feel good either.

That said, indifference is better than disappointment.

Yes, I know exactly what you're talking about. Feels good bro.

Usually only happens for me when another (more compatible/better) girl comes into the equation though.

I know what you are talking about and I completely agree.

The crush type, nervous, sexual attraction feeling is something that is different from true love that you have for your wife of 10 years. It is something that is based on physical attraction and weird, illogical emotional triggers that are beyond your control.

It is something that I have been working for years to get out of my system.

Not quite. Having feelings for someone that does not share the same feelings can be rather harmful for both the infatuated and the object of his infatuation. It can lead someone to do some rather irrational, and hazardous stuff. (e.g stalking, harassing, constant calls at inconvenient times, etc)

I've been down that road myself (minus the stalking and the harassing).

I think it is a good thing that he has moved on from the crush that is just not into him.

In this case, I'd rather be emotionally dead than irrationally obsessed. Just sayin'

Aaaaa-men.

If men could only figure this out how to do this at an earlier age, the dating game would be so much smoother for them.
