My life would be a lot easier if I could answer this on my own.
Wearing a politically neutral t-shirt that says "How 'bout that Israel, eh?"

It takes time, sometimes years. Be kind to yourself and let yourself feel your feelings in a healthy way.
Also helps if you imagine they're a huge lib that likes Harry Potter and Funkos
I'm going to strangle that owl. You know how long we've been enemies
Lol I have that same shit going on. Some blonde haired cute girl I had a crush on in high school and I was smitten.
We kind of flirted back and forth a bit and she came over a few times to hang out with me alone and watch a movie. My socially obvious ass didn't realize that if I asked, I probably could've gotten a kiss or maybe something more during those times?
Anyways she lost interest eventually as sometimes happens and I've just had to let her go. Sometimes I'll still see her around on social media. But it will never happen even though I still think she's just so gorgeous. It's hard my friend, but it will lessen over time
Same happened with me developing a crush on my boss. When you fight it you make it a thing, I'm finding it better to not deny the attraction but more intentionally notice other parts of her and our dynamic to train my mind to focus on those things. Also reminding myself each time I day dream that that relationship isn't possible so think of something else. I'm almost a month into the process, results are promising
It happens man. It happens. I've had co workers I'd like to ask out too.
Can't control what you are physically attracted to man. Just gotta wait until you move on.
