Here Is How To Handle A Crush Without Ruining Your Current Relationship


So you are in a committed relationship but there is this other guy you fancy. In fact you have concluded that you have a crush on him but what you can’t decide is if there is more to it or its just a feeling that will pass.

Many of us have had that experience where we just know we have a ‘more than normal’ liking for a particular guy whom we feel we shouldn’t like. It even begins to feel like cheating when you catch yourself putting an extra effort into your looks any time you know you will see him.

You probably have even tried talking about him in passing with the guy you are dating just to prove to yourself that your crush means nothing to you. Despite your best intentions, you have come to realize that there is just a chemistry that has refused to wane between you two.

Take a deep breath and calm down first. Crushing on another guy while in a serious relationship happens more often than you can ever imagine. It doesn’t necessarily mean that you are a flirt except you go out of your way to make lead your crush on or make them think you are available for something.

It is also important that you know that having a crush on someone even while in a relationship is very natural. Just because you are in a relationship doesn’t mean that you are not incapable of feeling attracted to other people or find them attractive. It doesn’t make you evil, it makes you human.


While getting involved with a crush may endanger your relationship, as long as you keep in mind that crushes are usually short-lived, then you won’t make the horrible mistake of throwing away a perfectly good relationship for a passing fancy.

Also, in order to ensure that you don’t make a mistake you will regret, take charge of your actions. You might not be able to control the sudden burst of excitement you feel when you see your crush but you can control what you do about it.

Another way having a crush while dating someone else may be of benefit to you is how it will help you take stock of your relationship. You might find out that your relationship with your partner is not as exciting as it should be which may be a reason for your crush in the first place. Pay attention to your emotions and relationship more that cute guy and you might just forget him soon enough.

Finally, remember what matters.Your relationship has probably taken more time to build than that crush that makes you feel like the guy your met two weeks ago is the real deal. Don’t be deceived; dating your crush will most likely not turn out as exciting as you think and that should count for something.
