I need help with a complex situation....
Relationship Stress / by Tori009

...See more Okay, so, have you guys ever felt like a really really strong connection to someone? Like you're drawn to them like a magnet? You can't even explain it. It's not their looks per se (even though they look amazing), it's something deep, like soul deep. You see them and no matter how nervous or how many butterflies it gives you, it's comforting in a way. I feel crazy. I feel like some crazed stalker or something for thinking of them and feeling the way I do. The awkward thing is... is that they are a family friend, who has been in my life since I was 7 (and even then I had a crush). And they are older than me (i'm 17 turning 18 soon and they are well, lets say older than 29) And married. And maybe sort of have kids. So they are 200% off limits. I just can't help but have this intense connection to them. We have so much in common and when we are near/talk there is tension and just this weird connection. I am not trying to break their marriage or life or get involved with them like that in any way (no matter how much I want to). I couldn't live with myself regardless. It's hard to live with myself now. I just can't help but think that in another life or time, ya know? I feel crazy just explaining this. I just don't know if i'll ever get over them. I mean, I really really like this other person, who is my friend, (my age) and we have been talking about going on a date after the quarentine is over. But, even though i'm not thinking of the other person as much, I still feel that deep connection and just the feeling of being drawn to them for some reason. I'm really ashamed of the way I feel, but I really just can't change it. I can't explain it super well, but I tried. I just don't know if that connection/magnetism/tension will leave or what it is or what I should do.
