Yea... it's a classic question. There are some people who know from the moment they lay eyes on someone that they want to stare, gawk and lust after them forever. Then, there are the relationships that form from friendships, those who never even thought of the other that way until one day when it hit them. Then, there are those who decide to date someone because they're not sure how they feel about them, and then love grows over time. However it happens, I'm not sure that some ways are better than others. The point is, is that maybe if you think he's a cutie now, you will feel those other things later. But if you begin to know that you will never see him as any more than a cutie, then you should have higher expectations for yourself, and be strong enough to move on. I know it's easier said than done, but these are some of the most difficult things in life. Good luck.
