"I seem to be noticing a pattern in my love life lately. I bring this up because, well, it&amp;#039;s not necessarily a healthy one. I have tons of friends who are always complaining that there are no guys out there, no one to like. Well, that&amp;#039;s never been my problem; I find crushes too easily. I can walk down the street, see a cute guy and bam!\u2014I have a new crush! It&amp;#039;s really that easy. The problem is that these crushes based on looks alone don&amp;#039;t usually amount to anything substantial. Because lets face it, physical attraction should be in the mix somewhere, but it&amp;#039;s not what makes a real connection. So really, all these crushes are giving me in the end is disappointment. I&amp;#039;m starting to think that &amp;#039;love at first sight&amp;#039; happens only in the movies. Don&amp;#039;t get me wrong now\u2014it can be really fun to have a crush!\u2014the problem arises when attraction is mistaken for true feelings; something I have been known to do in the past. So now I&amp;#039;m wondering how I can break myself of this frustrating habit. Trust me-it&amp;#039;s not cool to think you really like someone only to find out later you have absolutely nothing in common! How can I keep myself consciously aware of the fact that most of the time, a crush doesn&amp;#039;t amount to anything unless you take the time to get to know him/her? What do you think, CG!s, should I just stop having crushes altogether?! What have your experiences been? Do you believe in &amp;quot;love at first sight&amp;quot;? xoxo, Julia Obermiller CG!
