Holy shit, you're a mad genius! Definitely gonna try this! thanks!

I'm single. But I think I'm still just gonna go find a new dance instructor if my crush on her won't settle down.

If she is a dance instructor, she is probably no stranger to having her pupils develop feelings for her.

But this just makes it worse. Cause you're probably right. Which would make me feel even more like a schmuck. Yeah I think I'm just gonna go find a new instructor.

I see the crush as a separate entity from myself. The crush sees them as some unrealistic ideal superhuman, which falls apart when I take time to find out who the actual person is.

That's pretty damn well put.

This assumes you have opportunities to casually chat without planning time specifically, or you can be in a regular part of group conversations.

There is maybe a tiny window. But it's worth a shot.

Yeah that's actually not that bad of an idea. If things go south I'll use this as a last resort. Change dance studios that is.

So it's either quit dancing or develop romantic feelings for her? Q.E.D. I'm fucked.
