I think it helps to view my problems with love addiction as a chronic illness along the lines of diabetes or arthritis. One just needs to take care of it to some degree on an almost daily basis. One will have better days, weeks, and months at some times and not so good days, weeks, and months at other times. My love addiction comprises a key component to my mental illness that medication alone doesn't seem to meaningfully address.
As far as how that pertains to this young woman I've been talking about since last year, well, what has she "done," really? On a few occasions she threw me flirtatious looks of varying degrees of intensity. All the while she lived a personal life that didn't really involve me. That's about all I have on her.
For my part, I wavered in my commitment to leave her alone from time to time, but as of right now, I have no "plans" for her. The world doesn't seem to be in danger of running out of unavailable women any time soon, so I hope that my efforts to manage this aspect of my mental illness in light of this reality continue to prove as effective as in times past.
