Hi Molly, crushes are always alluring. They are not that easy to be suppressed. That’s why we call them crushes. If they were easy, we would call them something else. It seems from your post that you have set yrself up in some sort of fantasy relationship. I personally don’t assume yr encounters as love because you are yet to find a guy who you have spend some quality time with. Now the day you happen to meet this guy and start spending spending quality time with him and then you start falling in love with him, you will be able to differentiate between love and crushes.
Now coming to immediate situation of yrs, if things get too intense, then i may suggest try to limit the time you spend in their company. At times there may be an immediate urge to fulfill yr desire and in the process to satisfy yr wants you proceed and then you may be rejected by the opposite sex and this certainly can cause u a lot heartache. I know its a bit hard to have a grip on this fantasy but i suggest you tread carefully because butterflies in stomach can sometimes work wonders for you while at times it can cause havoc.
