13/f. I know that around here there are loads of moronic girls saying stuff like "OmG diS gUy iS soOoOo hOT i wANt hiM! aM i iN luV???!!!" Now, I know that teenagers generally don't fall in love, but is there anything wrong with being
"infatuated" with someone? The way many people talk about it, they make it sound like a bad thing. Is it a bad thing? Because, I'm "infatuated" with someone right now. I try not to take it too seriously, but sometimes I can't help it...
Belladonna answered Sunday March 12 2006, 8:13 pm: Everyone has an "infatuation" (or possibly several) growing up. There's nothing wrong with it per se, however, it can be pretty heartbreaking for someone when the person doesn't feel the same way, or doesn't have as intense feelings. That's why it's good not to depend solely on someone. When you become infatuated with someone, your happiness really depends on how they treat you. For example, if they speak to you you'll feel great, but if they speak to another girl, you'll feel like your world has fallen apart. As long as you keep it in perspective there's nothing wrong with having an intense crush at your age, but if you find its having a detrimental effect on you, that's when its a problem.

tropicalbabe33 answered Sunday March 12 2006, 2:32 pm: No, it is not a bad thing, but you should be careful as infatuation can easily turn into a full blown obsession. When you start thinking about him all the time, and cant concentrate at school because of it, when you start following him around everywhere, when hes all you talk about, when you look forward to school because you'll be able to see him and when you put 'stalking him' before everything else, thats when you know you are obsessed, i should know (i wont go into it now). So if any of these things happen, try to stop doing them so much by keeping busy to keep your mind from thinking about him. [ tropicalbabe33's advice column | Ask tropicalbabe33 A Question ]

It sounds like you handle your feelings very well. Infatuation becomes a, for lack of a better word, "bad" thing when it is mistaken for love or the infatuation is taken too far. There is nothing wrong with being infatuated, it happens to everyone.
