Dear lannawannabe:
Welcome back. You refer to this man as a “Total jerk”, and to his behavior as “selfish and downright rude” (which I agree with, having communicated with you on the previous thread and reading this one).
But you are still infatuated with him, and that’s why you view him as a very important person in your life, so much so that you compare and compete with other women over him (“I find myself seeing women around town I’d bet he’d want to hookup with, and I can’t help myself but compare.. she’s thinner than me, wears better clothes..”), to the point of wanting to move cities (“to be away from these things that remind me of him”). Every time you get an email from school, your heart “does backflips thinking he might be even mentioned in the text”.
Do you agree with me, that you are still infatuated with him?
