Dear Tidea Janamori:

This is from Wikipedia’s entry on infatuation: “Infatuation is the state of being carried away by an unreasoned passion… without insight or proper evaluative judgement, by blind desire”

You wrote about the relationship: “My first relationship, 2 weeks, 2 dates. It changed my life.”- these three things, that it is your first relationship, that it lasted such a short time, and that you believe it changed your life lead me to think this is you being carried away by passion.

What happened with his family and your family a decade ago give your infatuation a touch of Romeo and Juliet, doesn’t it?
