Yep. I'm consciously and deliberately tearing myself out of love with someone like that right now.
It's a funny thing, how we condition ourselves to be infatuated with people. We habiually think about them in certain ways, groove certain patterns of thought and feeling about them. I theorize that we can train ourselves out of it too--every time I think of her in certain ways, I deliberately catch myself and think of someone else, or think something else about her.
In the last two years, I've seen seven people fall in lust with her, while she stays friendly but cool with them. It's something she absolutely loves, having people want her and not wanting them back, it's her very favorite game. I'm through playing.
