considering just ignoring all vaguely romantic feelings i have for anyone i'm not already in a relationship with

i am not doing anything with them as it is

and it will be pretty hard, but, i mean

ignoring romantic feelings is something i end up doing anyway so why not just cut to the chase

@Fuego i figure it's like tearing off a bandage rather than pulling it off slow; it hurts a lot now but doesn't prolong the process

expecting those feelings to go anywhere, to extend the metaphor, feels like hoping for the bandage to fuse to my skin and give me a tough layer of armor. that is to say it's silly and will not happen

@typhlosion @Fuego You are a sof fren. If it goes well, we'll celebrate together. If it goes poorly, we'll commiserate with you. Either way, the roiling stew of uncertainty can resolve and the healing or happiness can begin.
