I think it would be prudent for humans to put more thoughts into different types of romance, or deep and committed relationship, than they typically do. Ignoring it does not make it go away; you have to walk away and stop interacting for that to happen, and people usually aren't willing to do that. Mistaking it for something else is a disaster. If you have a rival, you need to understand their role in your life and respect it for what it is. If you can't do that, walk away before it really does blow up in both your faces. Agreed! Even if those relationships/attractions aren't the same/similar as in HS, people's relationships with eachother can be much more complicated and/or diffrent from what the norm expects. Humans can be quite fluid yet stubborn people, so we should at least try to accept that complexity.
