7.Maintain Your Distance

If the person you’re crushing on is a friend or someone who belongs to the same social circle as you, you’re bound to always see them. You should however try to avoid them but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t enjoy being yourself.

If you’re at a party, chat with everyone including them but remember not to push your luck by gravitating towards your crush.
