When you want some one in your life , but you know they are not going to stay long , when you want to see someone so bad , when you do, you start thinking is this the person I'm gonna spend the rest of my life with.

The person always calls you at random times and you get all excited to talk to the person but after 10 minutes you just want to hang up and do your own thing .

When that person stops calling .. you get worried .. what is she doing ? Where is she at ? She lost interest in me ?

And when you do finally get to her you ask the same question / courtesy line and try to hang up as soon as its awkward silence .

You know you love her , you think you love her.

You know it will never work out , yet you still try to maintain connection and pursue the relationship / keep it dragging.

You know you should stop talking / seeing this person for all the right reason , yet you find ease and peace when you know her where abouts


Jealous , abandonment issues

What is it ? How do one over come it or fix it ?
The right way !

Sounds more like desperate obsession to me.

It's narcissistic, jealous and controlling.

And creepy.

Is it possible you're in love with the idea of her but not her?

But, yeah, A LOT of people can not handle being completely alone, whether it's being physically alone or just mentally alone. I know a bunch of people like that. No idea what the fix is. I think I used to be like that but then unforseen life circumstances forced me to be alone for real, but I managed and coped without me even realizing it. I still prefer to be with someone though.

You need to see a professional and most City Date posters are not professionals.

Sounds like you are calling 411- Information: available yet unattainable. Find someone in reality with bumps and warts. This is your idea of a relationship, but it is idealized. The person you want is not fully satisfying. Yeah, a real relationship, it's plenty satisfying, some work, but altogether everything you dream it to be. This relationship, you get connected, you want to hang up. You are at two different places and it will never level out. Let it go, it's the stuff of adolescent TV shows, and move to the real world. You can make love to images, but they will never love you back.
