On Crushes and Reality Checks

1) After your initial, breathtaking, stupefying view of your crush, is it not so that, as time passes by, you discover put-on acts, inconsistencies, contradictions, and the reality of the mundane?

Usually it is because your fantasy fills in details that were never, and will never, be there. And, as for your crush's upkeep of that fantasy, let me say that it is not only difficult, it is impossible, to maintain being cute to another person.

It would be so much better to meet someone in the ugliest of situations and in the shabbiest of clothes--and then work your first impression upward from there.

2) Consider all of the crushes you've ever had since grade school and high school, and look at their photos now. Chances are they've grown to look like dowdy, sloppy, overweight creatures.

Aren't you relieved that none of those relationships ever came to fruition, leaving you stuck for life with someone who started out as a crush and ended up as something else?

3) Crushes are transient. Allow them to be that.
