Close, but no cigar?

I've been meaning to post a few things over the past week, and I still intend to, but I've been physically very tired and apathy set in somewhat.

However, my recent conversations with KfW2 and, more recently, USHW have made me re-examine a portion of my life. Usually my relationship-based funks, when they come about, don't tend to last any more than a few weeks, possibly a month at most. The current one, though, is pretty much eight months old.

I think part of that my strong attraction to, and tantalizing "closeness" of, CB. Being only a mutual acquaintance away, I still find myself thinking about her, despite the fact I've never spoken to her, and not ruling out eventually getting that opportunity.

At the same time, though, while CB is in no way an obsession, part of me thinks that she should be forgotten about already, that the GB incident should have been the nail in the coffin, but I like my closure. Apart from USHW, everyone else who knows about CB simply knows that I am/was attracted to her. No-one knows how much I still want to actually meet her.

When MFF popped up on my Facebook news feed yesterday evening, stating that she was out socialising with CB and other friends, I chatted this through with USHW. I mentioned that if MFF had been out in my hometown, then I probably would have found someone to meet for a drink then made sure to bump into MFF and thus get an introduction to CB. In fact, it was partly a suggestion by USHW herself.

But still, even with USHW's encouragement on that front, I've been locked into a circle of confusion with the desire to meet CB and the gut feeling that I should forget about her.
