Oh dear. That sums it up. I`m starting to like a guy, I`ve only ever talked to him once. He`s not living here right now but he moves back in two months. I`ve learned a lot about him from the newspaper, facebook, and my friends. I feel like I am learning as much as possible to get an idea what he`s really like. My friends have commented that I`m obsessed. Sometimes I do talk about him a lot - hey, I`m excited to see how this works out. Really, what does it take to be labelled as 'obsessed' and really, how bad is it anyways? Thanks!

letloveunite answered Saturday June 21 2008, 2:58 pm: you said it yourself hun. your just REALLY REALLY excited to see this boy. :D
Like heres another example..
Your getting ready for a dance.. and it starts at 7:30 you start getting ready at 3. Are you obsessed with the dance?? NOOOO your just really excited, so your getting pre gamed for it :D
in other words you just getting ready for this to boy to arrive. and honestly your sort of being smart about getting to know him more. Yet for now lay off of trying to know what he's like through facebook and such. It's A LOT better and more interesting when you go on dates with the kid and learn how he is from there :D
BEST OF LUCK

i personally semi agree with this meaning, taken from dictionary.com.
i dont think youre obsessed, just simply anxious to see him...NOW...if you have picturees of him all over your wall, you become controlling as in no one else can have him, and stalking, etc, i feel THAT is stalking. the act of making one person yours, without them wanting it... or harm being caused, etc.. youre just anxious to meet him, obsession is totlly different... be careful and good luck!!! =] [ Uniq_The_Geek's advice column | Ask Uniq_The_Geek A Question ]
