Office Worker Is Madly In Love ! Dear Dr. Faulkner: I read your column religiously \ and now need your advice, lama 1 40-year-o Idf$r?0?saiaial woman* ! who is attractive and happy, except ! that I am madly, uncontrollably in ; love with someone with whom I I once worked. Once he touched may ! hand I almost had a climax. I am | beginning to think I am crazy. I ; have cried, prayed and did every | thing 1 could to forget him, but I i cannot I think about him everyday ; and have dreamed about him every ; night for several years. He is a nice, ' kind, intelligent and very knowl ' edgeable. He has never said any ! thing to me, except professionally. I i do not have the nerve to tell him , how I feel about him. What should I do? Please print my letter in its entirety." Tortured in Chicago DL Editor's Note: No name or address was included with this let ter. Although the veracity of this let ter is questionable, the problem mentioned in it is common enough to be shared with you. Dear Tortured: Your problem is not uncom mon. Many men and women develop life-long "crushes" on members of the opposite sex. These . feelings of enchantment often to lead to unhappiness and long-term loneliness. They are much like the feelings that some teenagers have relative to movie stars and television personfciitier. To love someone, T without being certain that thaHndi vidual loves you, is risky business. Imagine what would happen if you ings for you are identical to yours, your letteondescribes him as "^ce, kind, handsome, intelligent ancMjry knowledgeable.'9 This descripSon indicates qualities that are vagtie, superficial and hardly those that COPING By CHARLES FAULKNER fell in love with everyone whose looks or behavior appealed to you. Your life would be a roller-coaster that would at some point run off track and land you in the psychiatric ward of some hospital. The most revealing point in your letter is that you have had these feelings for years. Your case is sounding more and more like infatu ation. The time passed long ago when you should have become more realistic, and when you should have determined if you are expressing the highest degree of reasonableness and maturity in staying with what might be a hopeless situation. At some point, you are going to have to confront the possibility (or probabil ity) that there is no potential for you in this situation. You said that you lack the moti vation to express your feelings to this gentleman. Maybe, this is the surest way to determine if his feel might sustain a relationship for any reasonable period of time. Aren't there quite a few men around with similar qualities? And, aren't some of these men locked away in penal institutions? Since he has related to you in only a professional manner, this might be the way he wants it, on a long-term basis. You might need a competent professional to show you how to cope with your own emotional needs and confront the reality of the world in where we live. As a parting shot, invite him to lunch. Or, get a mutual friend to intercede. Finally, look around you. That gentleman whom you walk pass each day, without speaking, may feel the same way about you that you feel about your long-term love.
