it is about erotomania disorder.
I have a feeling of having a erotomania disorder. I have schoolmate that looks at me and i think he has a crush/love on me. After that day, I'm thinking already about me and him being together. Until i found out that he doesn't really likes me. And the situations repeat again with other guys. How can I Help myself to be not erotomaniac?? I badly need a help!

You are not suffering from erotomania hun - not based on anything you've said here. You are perfectly normal, perfectly sane and completely human. Completely, totally, normal.
What you are describing is a perfectly normal (perhaps a bit oversensitive, or a bit over-eager) response. I would bet you are not too experienced in romance yet, and you are keen to have your first 'real-ish relationships'. Your fantasies are just expressing that desire. That's a natural confusion, part of growing up and developing, not a mental illness.
Listen to women in their thirties who bemoan it when they start imagining what their babies with a man might look like 5 minutes into the first date! This exact thing happens to adults too. Over time, you learn that fantasies are well and good, but shouldn't be taken too seriously.
I know it can be disappointing when you imagine one thing, but the reality is another. But the best thing you can do when those thoughts crop up is to remind yourself that the are fantasy, and distract yourself from them.
Erotomania is a delusional disorder where a person believes that a total stranger is communicating their love to them through telepathy, secret codes and other impossible ways. A person suffering from erotomania, is also not the least bit upset by it when the person they are obsessing over rejects them - the delusion disorder just tells them that is part of a game or ploy, and they go on obsessing. If you had erotomania, you wouldn't be able to acknowledge that he doesn't actually like you.
You aren't delusional. You have an over active imagination. You are keen and excitable. Don't worry so much. It's good to be aware and on your guard against your fantasies, but you aren't ill.
