I've found myself in a shit of a situation. I've liked this girl for ages now (let's call her Lou). Like, a year or something. Possibly more. She has a boyfriend, who is apparently a prick, and I always hear that it's only a matter of time before she dumps him. She's younger than me, but so so very pretty and just... right

I don't think she knows I like her. Certainly not to the extent that I actually do. And I'm not one for usurping, no matter how much of a prick her fella may be

Problem is, whenever I meet/get with another girl now, I'm always thinking "yeah, she's great, but she's not quite Lou". And it's fucking me up. I've been single for over two years now, and I'm fearing for my sanity. It's not quite infatuation, but it's not far off...

Anybody else ever been a pickle like this? How does one go about ridding themselves of such feelings? I'm never usually like this, and I'd like to revert back to the good ol' alpha male Dove*
