Refuse to be taken over by a rumor

Happens to me all the time. I see a guy passing looks at me constantly, then I develop a crush. It all starts with a little attention, seriously. Perhaps even a rumor can make it happen. What's the worst that can happen? Talk to him. Are you already his friend? If not, get to know him. It works out for the both of you!

I think by club like an interest club, right?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I think by club means school club. =p Thirdjean has to confirm this. Although it's interesting to see the thread turn into a nightclub etiquette class.

Compared to it, I think that waiting has a slimmer chance of rejection. Also, having people gossipping about me after someone bugs me.
Just how do I stop affections from growing?

Let me assure you, you will not develop affection for, literally, every guy who is rumored to like you. From experience, I would say the success rate is extremely low. Maybe the guys who like you fit your personality. Or maybe they're handsome (that's a start for rumored affection). There's nothing wrong with that. You can't help your feelings.

Being passive is normal, but at times you should take matters into your own hands. Flirt with him a little bit, see if he responds back. It's not like you're confessing your affection for him and putting yourself on the spot. True, waiting means less chance of being rejected, but it also means less chance of opening yourself up as well. Rejection is everyone's fear, but it's something we all go through and something that is completely normal. It might sting for a while, but you move on.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

That's a tad high, but there's nothing you can do about your feelings. The crush will most likely dissapate after a short period of time. Happens to me frequently. But we are all different. For you, who knows. There's nothing wrong with having guys like you, and even better, knowing that he likes you (unless he's some crazy middle aged pedo).

Many relationships start off as a one person wooing the other. Example, guy wooing girl. Does she like him at first? Not likely, but because he shows interest in her, she develops interest in him. Completely normal.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
