Sooo... There is this guy...

I know exactly what you mean because I am in the same fase and have the same opinion on love right now. Falling in love to me is kind of forbidden. I focus on my career, on making it right instead of letting love get to my head but it's incredibly hard. Trust me, I know.

I think you need to loose your focus on the guy and use all your energy on something else. Like perfecting a hobby but be careful not to struggle with love because you might actually fall deeper for him.

All the best of luck!

Life is about learning and about lessons. If you don't like who you are when you are smitten and how you act when you are lovesick then you need to look at it and change that. It's hard, because, in away, females are normally more controlled by their emotions and their emotions rule them more so than the guys. This falling prey to our heart & feelings rather than our head can often be a source of pain & trouble (not to mention make someone look like an idiot). It's just something you will have to walk through, (probably repeatedly), whether you act on things or not. It's about determining fact from fiction, feelings from what is real, and deciphering them. It's part of maturing, at any age. For some people, the process takes longer than others. Avoiding temptation WILL solve the problem, but only for so long. It's a shame to dismiss God's opportunity to work through relationships just because of weaknesses that we could face and conquer when inexperience won't always help that either. It just takes time of dealing with things to slowly work on stuff & how we are and get better. That is the aim anyway. Our relationships benefit too.

Either way, look at your self, your choices, how you act- examine and see what you want to change and make it a postitive change then, whatever you choose. You cannot always avoid things or situations, but you can learn.

I feel you sister, I'm totally crushing on a guy at my school too, that I absolutely do NOT wanna fall for. The best I can probably do for you is tell you what I do.
I do NOT look at him with eye to eye contact. Because next thing you know your giving freaking googly eyes and leaning in to kiss them.
I do NOT think about him. Because then you're doodling him in your math notebook and getting F's on your homework. Tip: if this occurs try thinking of something that makes you sad.
If he talks to you try not to googly eye him, or saying stupid things like,
"What use do you shampoo?" Ultimate fail!
Say something more like,
"Did you watch Ylvis- The fox?" Something he probably knows about and is comfortable answering.
And if you try to play it cool, do not, DO NOT, play it too cool. So don't say something like this.
"You know dawg just sittin' here chillin' with my homies." EPIC fail!
I have no idea if this helps but, it's the best I can do ^_^
