Wow, you guys are awesome.
I posted this yesterday afternoon, and already my life has changed.
This is my current mindset:
A) I don't care if my little brother hits on her. He's ugly, he smells, and he's way too young. She uses him as entertainment, nothing else.
B) I don't care if she rejects me. There are other women. Besides, I'm just as cool as her, if not cooler. Her loss.
C) If she doesn't want to sit by me, that's fine. Heck, I'M the prize. If she doesn't want to sit next to me, that's HER problem.
D) I'll talk with her when it's mutually convenient. If she's busy, let her get her stuff done. If I'm busy, I don't go out of my way to please her.
E) I'm done complimenting, except when it really seems to fit. I.E "Hey Amy, leave the door open so I can hear you practice violin tonight! None of this hiding in the bedroom!" is ok, imo, but not "uhm gosh, you are like, so hot with those flowers in your hair"
F) etc, can't think of any more.

Actually, it's working. I pretty much ignored her (I WAS NOT RUDE!!!) for all of the morning, and she didn't know what was going on. Then, in the afternoon, I grabbed my science and sat down at the kitchen table where I ALWAYS do my school. Sure enough, less than 5 minutes later, she grabs her math and comes and sits RIGHT ACROSS from me.
Of course, I was polite and entertaining, but not overly nice, and no compliments. I also tried to shut off my feelings for her hot body and she seemed more receptive to me. After 2 hours of her sitting across from me, she said "When do you have to go to piano practice?" like "when do you have to leave, this is so much fun?"
I told her, and we kept working/chatting.
When I got home, I brought my stuff into where I keep it and she was on the puter. I said "Hi" and "Anything interesting happen while I was gone?"
I then ran and ate dinner, and when I came back, got on MY computer, she was still on the other one. She kept telling me all the funny stuff she was running across the internet etc. I acted interested, but of course, I was busy.

All in all, I'm amazed at how much I've improved in such a short time. You guys are TOO COOL FOR WORDS.
Like I said, the only thing I have problems with is treating all the other chics special when I don't have feelings for them, because I don't want to "use" them. Any ideas?
