I had a great girl once, best girl I ever dated. I caught feelings really fast, and from there things went downhill. I got hit with the "I'm not looking for anything right now" before I even told her I liked her. I still feel shitty about losing this girl to this day and I don't want to go through this ever again.

If you catch yourself catching feelings for a girl, what do you do to restrain them and still be yourself? When I catch feelings, I go bitch mode. I worry about making a move even after we've had sex a few times, I seek her validation, a bunch of bad stuff. I haven't had feelings for a girl since the last one, but I want to have knowledge and prepare in the case that one day I get them again for another great girl.
