Temptation

I moved into my new apartment on Saturday. The move was fine, the apartment looks great, but I have an old problem rearing its ugly head.

I think my roommate is really cute.

For all of you who saw this coming mile away, congratulations, you were right. Now how do I fix it?! He's cool and we have been spending a lot of time together the past 2 weeks (kind of like we’re dating, but not), but I know that has nothing to do with it. I know this is just my own crazy man issues coming to bite me in the ass. It's like I'm staring at a burger, and I just want to uhh eat it, but I know it's gonna make me sick. There are both obvious and less then obvious reasons why this is a terrible idea. In any event, my little experiment is off to a rocky start. I think if I can maintain resolve and resist pretty much every instinct that runs through my head, after a while these dirty bird thoughts will go away. I will grow as a person and be able to have meaningful relationships with men that are not sexual or romantic. That's the theory anyway.

Can someone tell me that I can do it? I am in desperate need of encouragement and support.
