I remember feeling that way a few times when I was in high school & there was a guy that I really wanted for a boyfriend....or at least I thought I did.

That is the key.....I ended up realizing that I wasn't living in reality...reality has to take into consideration where the other person is & what they are feeling. We can't force someone to feel something they don't feel & we can't dwell on our feelings especially at that stage of a knowing someone. I also realized over the years that it wasn't healthy mentally to ever dwell on my feelings about someone....anyone....even my husband. I found that when my mind spent all it's time thinking about someone else, I ended up loosing myself.

When I would loose myself, then I could never make any relationship work even if it could have turned into something.....because when I lost myself, then I didn't have anything to offer the other person because my mind was all wrapped up in thinking about them & I wouldn't do anything else because I was consumed by those thoughts.

A successful relationship has to consist of 2 well rounded individuals coming together. When I lost myself in obsessing, then the other person even if they might have been interested....ended up not seeing the real me because it was lost under the obsessing.

Hope this makes some sense,
Debbie
