Most likely in 4-5 years into relationship, your passionate love, will turn into so called "caring love"-idk if that's what you call afc love, but that's simply how hormones in your body work.

Check this documentary out(although I highly doubt the validity of all the information in these documentaries, mainly because of the way they reach their conclusions"

it basically sums up my view of love...I'm still looking for a solution to this crappy love, but I haven't found one yet.

it is an interesting post so far. In my experience i found i dont care of oneitis anymore in my life.

Im currently behind a girl who i found is special to me, cute very energic, caring but way to gullible and ignorant at times.

Before i would say to myself "oh shit i have oneitis" O_O ! but now i just dont care. Do i try to game her? Yes.
Do i get a sudden rush when she says something to me? a little.
Do i want to fuck her and have a relationship? Sure, why not?
Do i suffer a little when i cant "get her"? Sure a little.
Does this prevents my from going out and try to meet new women? Nop
Does this affect my life in a negative way? I dont think so, more than that she made me discover i love dancing (i didnt start because of her but she kinda made me see it could be fun).

I have had some pretty strong oneitis in the past, who make me fell worthless, trying to be someonelse or just angry and insolated.

So in my opinion instead of seeing if one has oneitis or just a crush (because i refuse to use the word love in defining a relationship it hasnt happen yet) i preffer to judge how affects my life.

the same here, but girl I had/(still have a little) one-itis for helped me understand how beautiful classical music is. Now its my favorite genre. Also she showed me a lot of good qualities, which I've never seen before. E.G. I finally met a girl who wasn't dumb, more educated than me, brutally honest, not a golddigger and bunch of other staff... so I guess the information I gained from the fact that I met her, outweights the amount of nerve cells I killed, while stressing out, how I choded myself out, back in my WBAFC(way below afc) days.
