I made cranberry sauce . I think it was vegan ? Then I went deer hunting . <| sep |> Can anyone provide any insightpast similar experiences as to why I am feeling this way ? Could be any number of things a subconscious desire to think maybe a relationship with this new guy would go better than how it went with your Ex , perhaps you might be confusing the tumultuous period you experienced with your Ex as passionate , or maybe most likely it ' s just a coincidence this guy just happens to look like your Ex . . How can I stop this crush ? There are a few ways . First , you need to reduce all contact with the guy . That includes not chatting with him , sitting near him , or even looking at him . Over time , the crush will pass . Second , communicate and interact more with your BF . Go on more dates , put in the effort to think about him more . Whenever you feel like thinking about other guys , think about your BF instead . It may not feel natural , but it does work . Those are the better ways . There is one other way of nearly instantly stopping a crush . Seen it used successfully time and time again . Basically , you tell your partner about it face to face . When you see his reaction , your crush will instantly evaporate . Why ? Because you ' ll be faced with the prospect of losing the one you truly care about , that usually snaps people back to reality . Lots of folks here don ' t like it for a variety of reasons . But I think you could consider it if all else fails .
