How do I stop being infatuated with someone?

It’s mostly your subconscious that chooses who to fall in love with and who not to. The nice thing here is that your subconscious motivations can be made conscious, with a lot of an activity that I like to call self-inquiry.

Sit in a quiet area and just think about and around your infatuation. Not just the object of your infatuation but the things around the infatuation itself. What intensifies it? What would cause it to go away immediately and never come back? Can you connect the feelings with people or events from your past? Exactly what is it about the person in question that makes him not good for you?

Personally, I like to give in to temptation and see where it goes. Only when I’m sure that it’s a bad idea do I try to resist. But I don’t have an addictive personality. If that sounds like you, I’d suggest employing the services of a licensed psychologist. I see one and it’s awesome.
