There’s actually a science behind the addictive feeling behind crushes, and it can be difficult to get over one – even if you never dated them. Luckily, there are steps you can take to move on.
We’ve all had a crush before – perhaps you have one right now. Maybe it’s your mutual friend, coworker, classmate, or the guy you see at the coffee shop whenever you pick up your latte every other morning. Whatever the case, we can all relate to having a crush, and the feelings of an adrenaline rush or the butterflies in our stomach when we see them.

It can be incredibly difficult to forget about that special someone – yes, even if we never had a relationship with them. There’s actually a science behind this, so if you’ve been going through this right now, trust me when I say this: You're not crazy, and you're not alone.
