writes: Hi everyone. So I still have this huge crush on my old high school teacher. I'm in a serious relationship with my boyfriend and I love him so much and I would never end our relationship to pursue my ex-teacher (or get him in trouble cuz he's married). But I still have dreams about my ex teacher and get all flustered when something reminds me of him or someone brings up the past. I feel like a little kid because I get butterflies and what not. I am 18 and I know right from wrong and that this is nothing more than a crush. I guess it's because I knew my teacher for four years and he was nice and young and handsome. HELP! I don't want to think of him like this anymore. I'm in love with my boyfriend. UGH.

Start a project that is all about you.
Start distracting yourself so that you have so many more options to think about.
Options that take you out of your comfort zones.
Because you are thinking too much about this guy as he is filling a vacuumn in your life.
what sort of projects? Cheap ones. Ones that keep you busy.
Ones that celebrate your life with your Boyfriend.
1. Start a ScrapBook that celebrates everything you love about your Boyfriend. Make it really gorgeous. Make it special. It is yours to keep to celebrate what you love about him. You can show it to him. But this is your precious record of your relationship with your guy.
Add in tickets to things you have attended together.
Momentos of things you have seen or visited together.
2. Start a walking group in your area and take a brisk 30 minute walk each morning. Speak to your neighbors and friends to see who will join you.
3. Revamp your wardrobe and look at what things you do not wear anymore. Give the things to a Charity Shop.
4. Offer to serve in a Local Charity Shop once a month.
5. Ask your Mom what things you can help her with for the 4th July.
6.Discover Sudoko puzzles as they are really good for developing your mind.
7. Do an Online (free) quiz on EQ (Emotional Intelligence) and if you do not get the score you want then look back at the alternative answers for clues to the right answers
Here is the test - it will only take you minutes to do.

10. Learn to cook more things than you can cook now.
Develop some interesting recipes after looking at the basics, so that you know how to make homemade Consome - then you can go on to make the Best Chicken Soup in the world. (recipe available if required)
Learn how to make staples like Bolognese sauces.
learn how to make a really tasty omelet.
So much tastier than Fastfood and so much cheaper and takes less time in the long run.
11. Start your own family tree. Starting with you and your parents. If you get really good then you can do your Boyfriend's tree as well.
12. Work out another project that you choose as #12.
if you get working on these projects you really will not have time to think of your former teacher.
And you will learn more things and have fun.
Best wishes
Abella
