Is infatuation a pattern? My suggestion is to turn off the computer and to go out into the real world and meet people in person in order to develop interpersonal skills and to experience what it's like to get to know people in person and in real time. Granted, infatuation can still occur in real circumstances but it would be a step forward because you would be dealing with real people rather than people you only know from online and whose faces you have never really seen and voices you've never heard.
