Hi All, I am wondering if someone else is in a similar position as myself. I am limerent for my coworker who initially showed some signs of reciprocation then stopped and I became obsessed. I tried to give him space and this improved our normal work dynamic but then recently I kind of explained my situation to my friend at work and she encouraged me to get to know him better. I thought getting to know him better would break my limerence. The thing is that my LO used to reach out to me but not anymore so to get to know him better I have to initiate conversations. I slid into his personal DMs when he didn't feel well and that opened small communication exchange, I also tried to be more approachable in the office and waved goodbye specifically at him when I was leaving. Unfortunately these attempts did not help and I am an anxious mess because of them. I should have kept my distance. Did anyone else end up in the same situation and realized that space or NC where possible is the only way forward?
