And me being me I'm doing everything I can to either avoid it, convince myself there's no way it could ever even be a possibility (she's much younger than I am so there's no way in any non-fantasy world that she'd be interested in me...) or when I see her sabotage the situation by making it as awkward as possible. (I'm really self-destructive like that...).

In the end, this story will play out like it always does, with me pining away after this girl for months, or years, never making a move, until she's eventually gone. That's what always happens, because I'm so afraid/assured of rejection that I never even try. AKA the good ol' self-fulfilling prophesy...

Well at least she's single. You could have a thing for someone else's girlfriend or fiancee and be really close to them and have it not work out.
