Yes, I can tell by now that you are interested. You can’t tell by now that I am NOT? That will not change and the thought of you touching me with even a 10 foot pole has me cringing. Please, get over this little crush and know that it will never, ever happen. —ever

I wouldn’t worry about it Op..crushes tend to be fleeting. Sometimes you just realize the person isn’t as amazing as you thought, and they get knocked off that pedestal you put them on. Hang in there..
“Wow, I keep telling this person I’m not interested but they just don’t get it…. Better go on an internet forum and let them down the hard way… and hope that they know they’re the 1 in 400,000 in hrm I’m taking about.”
OB, many people have the experience of someone having an unrequited crush on them. You aren’t the first or the last. It will fade eventually when they realize you aren’t interested. If they aren’t stalking you or being a real nuisance somehow, shrug it off – it’s nothing to write an angry bitch over. Above all, remember that they are only human like you and try to be cordial without giving them the idea that you are interested in more. No need to be mean to them unless they are causing a real problem.
Shouldn’t that be “attracted” instead of “interested?” Clearly, in the case of the latter the cognitive component is lacking while, in the case of the former, it is the affective component which is determinative.
