Letting go of infatuation/crush

In short: I'm struggling of letting go of a strong infatuation for a coworker/acquaintance that's going on several years now. I didn't see many posts about this specifically so I was wondering if anybody had any advice for this particular situation.

I've read "Letting Go" and have been practicing the technique for a few months now, and it's been very effective, I was able to let go of alot of long time fears, resentments, grudges etc. so I know this is very effective, but I slammed into a hard roadblock with this infatuation.

It's been pretty much the main focus of most of my meditations recently and it honestly feels like I'm making zero progress. With everything else I tried letting go of, there was some movement immediately and nothing took longer than maybe a few weeks to dissolve fully. Even if I do a session and think that maybe I made progress, I'm back to square one as soon as I actually am around this girl.

To be honest I'm not even sure where the sticking point is. I know logically I need to let go of these passions, but the same method I used for other things doesn't seem to be working here.
