Just wondering, Do you think I have some sort of Obsessive Love Disorder?

Question

I've had my eyes on quite a few girls in my life, but there's only a few I've obsessed about. I'm not obsessive enough to be necessarily creepy, but some of the girls I've fallen in love with hardly even know me and I can't help thinking about them constantly and always getting romantic or depressed when I see them or look at pictures of them. This one girl I've liked since the seventh grade, so it's been like three years. We've talked before and online a lot so I've gotten to know her much better, but I can't ever stop thinking about her. And I tend to freak out when we meet eyes or communicate. Even going out with other girls didn't stop me, but I seem to always end up obsessing over somebody else, too. I'm not sure what this is since I'm a guy, but I can't help thinking that she's the only one for me.

Answer 1

Respectfully, it sounds like you're a sophomore in high school given what you say about years.  You're young, full of hormones, and girls don't have cooties anymore.  Life is changing quickly, and you most likely are too.

It sounds like you're at a point where you really want to be in a relationship, maybe for some validation.  Plus you're curious about the opposite s*x.

Unless you find yourself over-obsessing or getting creepy or scary thoughts, I'd say it's perfectly normal and part of growing up.

P.S.  I hate to break it to you, but you're young.  You'll probably encounter a few "she's the one for me" before you really find one and truly know it.

Answer 3

i'm only 14 years old. thats not an obsessive love disorder. you just really like a girl.

in my perspective, it takes a lot for me to say that i love a guy. my guard is always up. you just trust her. your not crazy. i think your in love.

you just want those feelings returned.
