If I were the lead in a play with a man I had a major yen for (and he was taken) and he was one of the main characters in said play, I'd go mad with want and lust and yearning. I'd become morose, isolated and possibly psychotic. I'd then put on an award winning performance, be offered major roles, and refuse my one shot at fame because "my man" belonged to someone else. I would be too busy planning my spin into addiction, anorexia, bipolar disease, heavy tatoo parlour patronage and PEOPLE photog opportunities to take my shot at being a great artist.

Is that your plan, too?

Srsly, I don't know how you do that--I'd be nuts by now. Not boil-the-bunny-in-the-pot nuts, but pretty darn nuts.
good for you for being emotionally more mature than a woman three times your age (or maybe it's just twice your age, I dunno.)

good luck, young man. Heartbreak is worse than plumbing problems.
