[Vent] Can't stop thinking about a girl. Need advice.

For the last week or so I’ve been obsessing about this girl, who I’ve known for quite some time but haven’t had a chance to ask out until recently. An opportunity arose and I asked. She agreed to meet me on her own terms (time & place) because of her tight schedule, but then she had to cancel because she planned it poorly – the place we were supposed to meet at was closed that day. While it was a very legitimate reason, I was disappointed nonetheless. She said she was truly sorry and hinted that she’ll be more readily available for dating in the summer, so she is at least interested to get to know me better. She’s very busy the next couple of weeks, and so am I. So it’s probably going to be at least two or three weeks until we can see each other. All would be fine, except I cannot stop thinking of her. And it’s worrying me.

So why am I obsessing. First, she’s the first girl in a while that I find both genuinely interesting and attractive. Second, I’m in a sort of ‘renaissance phase’ (recovering from a mild winter depression), so a stream of repressed emotions is pouring out, and I don’t seem to be handling it well. I desperately need my brain to chill for a while so I can think clearly.

About the girl:

She is intelligent, young and truly gorgeous. She likes travelling, sports, classical music and theatre. She has a beautiful voice, and she is very compassionate. So far a perfect human being in my eyes, pretty hard to not like someone like that. But here’s the problem, that’s pretty much all I know about her, and for the amount that I do, I obsess about her too much.

She is obviously interested to get to know me better. Which is great, because that’s exactly what we should do: get to know each other better, in due time. But right now I have to step back, relax, take a deep breath, and just do my thing until the time comes and we actually do go on a date. And there’s plenty of “my thing” going on right now to keep my mind busy… Except my brain is fucking me over on this one and sabotaging me all the fucking time. Arrghh!

I need your advice, reddit, how do I keep my mind off her for the next several weeks?
