    I keep developing a crush on my friend, and then just lose all romantic interest and just want friendship, but get feelings for him again, and lose them later ad nauseum. A bit like a recurring infection.

    Is it common to have this happen? And is there any way you know to stop it? He's straight, and I know there's no point, but I don't seem to be able to help it.

    It's never happened to me. Although, it's possible that the feelings might seem to go away when you 'wish' them away, but deep down you actually always have them. But I don't know if that's the case for you (I know I've tried to wish away my feelings for my best friend at times)

    Is he cute?

    No, he doesn't know I like him. I've almost told him before, but I don't want to risk our friendship. And he's very cute, but that's no help.
