<human>: Maybe it's because I'm an enormous cheese-ball when it comes to anything remotely romantic, but it has always gotten in the way of my daily routine--emotion and thought. I'm 21/m and I have had a few relationships before that ranged from pointless to a dream come true, and so this is definitely territory I have treaded quite heavily on before.

I thought I have already conditioned myself not to get into these kinds of situations simply because my time and energy needs to be focused on my education and my work. But it was last November when the lovebug bit me and it was the whole routine all over again. It's partly physical, but I can't help but be overwhelmed by my own emotions that I believed I have kept in check. I still think of her after five months and I have already come to realize I've been friend-zoned. I know I've been studying like a horse these final few weeks of university and I haven't had time to socialize and meet new people. But even with all these circumstances in mind, there has never been a day when I haven't thought about her.

I know these things will fade away eventually when I begin exploring other aspects of life and do new things to fill my time and thought. But at the moment, I'm just wondering if anyone's been held down by the feeling of infatuation, and if you had a way out of this mess aside from time.

Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?
<bot>: I'm infatuated with a girl I've worked with a few times, but have always thought of her everyday for five months... even when I'm friend-zoned. Similar stories, anyone?
