Falling in love when you're lonely... sort of

3 years ago I met a girl through mutual friends. When I met her I realised that she was really cute and I felt a little nervous when she was around, but I never really bothered to keep in touch with her. Over the next 1-1,5 years I found myself thinking about her from time to time and I felt something whenever I saw a picture of her on social media which kind of confused me since I didn't even know her that well. Luckily I didn't see her often so those feelings kind of started to go away which I was happy about. 0,5-1 year ago I suddenly saw her again at the place where I work where she just started working as well. When I saw her at work for the first time I felt something I never felt before, it still confuses me to this day. It may sound stupid af, but it was really like time stopped or delayed when our eyes met. Our eyes met for only a couple of seconds followed by a sweet greeting from her but that moment felt like it lasted forever and I felt something I never felt before at that moment. I can't reallt describe it. From that day on I think about her all day long every single day and it drives me crazy. Whenever I go to work a part of me really hopes she is working as well, but another part of me hopes I will never see her again because it will only make me fall in love with her and that is not a good thing.
