limerence

1. (psychology) An involuntary romantic infatuation with another person, especially combined with an overwhelming, obsessive need to have one's feelings reciprocated.Examples: "I first used the term ‘amorance’ then changed it back to ‘limerence’ […]. It has no roots whatsoever. It looks nice. It works well in French. Take it from me it has no etymology whatsoever."; "When someone is under the spell of limerence, not even being rejected dampens down the madness."; "But limerence, lovely as it feels, is a time-limited event—it lasts about five years for most couples."Synonyms: infatuationcountableuncountable
