Haha, yes, love these snow days! Funny, in Illinois where I grew up this would be no big deal and it would be business as usual. Back on topic, this guy is taking it to extremes. I've been in love several times, and yes it is both a scary and amazing feeling. However, I never got so wrapped up in it that I wasn't able to carry on with my day to day life. This seems more like an unhealthy obsession (Every Breath You Take by Police).
I disagree with their idea of separation of addiction / love. I think at that point you become a kind of dependent in which they describe mostly as addicted.
its an absolute waste of time! there are so many women out there its crazy! and 99% the guy/girls who are obbsessing when the other has moved on already! your stressing over a person who obviously doesnt like you so dont waste your time! Find someone who will value you!
Hearing about things like that makes me shake my head.
It's sad.
But like other people have said, it's just a phase and the guy describing it is probably just in a phase. It's really easy to confuse infatuation with love. It happens all the time. As far as I am concerned....I wouldn't want to get like that because it basically imply that I have codependency issues and that I feel incomplete without that person which is simply not true. I refuse to allow someone to have that much control over me.
i've come to believe that men and women love AND fall in love differently, and apparently it has a biological and evolutionary basis in that men are predisposed to become more emotionally invested in women for the procreation and child rearing purposes. That's why a guy "falls head of heels" on sight versus a women who is more thoughtful and patient about the potential mate (more emotional control).
That guy is describing the "honeymoon" phase of the relationship. While you can be fully in love with someone, being addicted to them is dangerous ground. Personally, I have been involved with two women who were addicted, and they did crazy things that didn't seem at all normal. Things that made me not ever want to become close to them. It was a sad state, and took a long time to finally get rid of their affections. The problem with people like that, is that you can't be kind to their unwanted affection. Doing so only fuels their neediness.
Addictions are NEVER healthy things. That guy doesn't sound like he's in love. He sounds like he's unhinged!
This doesn't sound like he's addicted or unhinged. He's just exaggerating for dramatic effect.
You are still your own person. You lead your own life and probably even have your own friends. Nevertheless, the two of you are connected to each other forever. If not physically, then by the way you influence each other’s lives.
Gosh.
Let him live.
Some people fall in love, and when they do, they fall hard.
That doesn't make the person insane. He's just exaggerating what everyone (or most people) have felt at some point or another.
