This confused the hell out of me? does this mean we can't actually fall in love?

The chemicals that make our obsessions may be the same chemicals that make people fall in love.

Oh so were kinda "in love with our obsessions?"oris it,that we're just obsessed and think we're in love?or am I completelyoff. I feel so silly for not getting it...

You've got the gist of it.

It's sort of like being in love with an inanimate object, or at least that's how I read it.

Oh. So it was the first part. Lol. so It'slike i'min love with fanfiction? lol.

And we CERTAINLY can become obsessed with others. But the problem is that we can also fall in love with inappropriate things; so when my wife told me that she loved me more than anything, she really meant more than any thing. There is an advantage though, in that real research requires one to fall in love with a subject which is not a human.

Ahh. But then how do we know if we're in love or just obsessed with a human?

Now...I'm even more confused...can't you be inlove and not obsessed?I mean...I have been creepily obsessed with guys before. I mean to were it lasted for several years, adn I couldn'tgo aschool day without seeing them...but...

*hugs iMac*

But what if it's just one person obsessed? and the other person wants nothing todo with each other? and they'll never get together? then is it love?

My definition of love creates a difference. I don't know if anyone else would find it useful. I love somewhen when I decide that I do. This always happens some time after the obsession happens. Once I decide though, it is irrevocable. I may not always feel the same, but they always have some claim on me, even after death (mine or their's).
