This might sound crazy, please I want serious answers.
So 4 days ago I played No one lives forever 2, an FPS video game. Since then I'm always thinking about the protagonist (Cate Archer) and I can't sleep at night and I am not atracted to her in a very sexual way despite she is stunning. She is witty, smart and charismatic. I'm just thinking of her green eyes and face. I fell in love once and it felt the same as now, so I know how it feels. Is it normal, I'm not the type to play many video games or spend my life in a computer display.

Forgot to add, I have a gf at the moment, but I fell like I'm not interested in her anymore. All I wish is to see more of that video game, I feel addicted, it almost makes me cry.

Infactuation.It isn't love.It's the ideal woman that you're looking for.

It appears that all your experience is a chance experience and is farther away from reality. It happens with some people and you need not feel about what others would say about it. Avid readers of novels and ardent viewers of video films do fantasize and get lost for a moment into some very strongly attractive characters. You have the 'character' close to your heart and not the 'person'. This is likely to shift out of your memory in course of time because you are neither an addict to the computer nor to video games. however, this does leave a serious message behind: you need to explore the possibility of getting one real friend in life. Shadows and artificial characters tend to haunt you when you are driven into loneliness for one reason or another. You need to free yourself from this risk and get out to enjoy life and lot of friends. I am sure, you will pen down an entirely new experience after this at the Yahoo Answers platform.

Love is only real when both believe in it and define it the same way. Otherwise, it is a mantra.
I have explained this to my wife and nephews. It may sound weird writing it down.
When you feel something it is because of a stimulus: sight, smell, sound, touch, etc.
When your body is stimulated certain chemicals are released. Now as your mind analyzes those chemicals your brain is analyzing and comparing what is is recieveing with past stored chemical memories. If you are interested in men, your mind is going through every image of every man you ever looked at, talked too, touched, etc. Comparisions are being done and you mind is giving each feature a rating of sorts to see how close to perfect he is for you. There is probably a hardwired imprint in your mind as well. Your mind is evaluting strength, threat, healthiness, and so on.
The longer you spend with that individual the more frequently those chemicals are released. New neural pathways are created which when the body stops recieving those chemicals, your body has withdraws such as would happen with his absence and / or breakup of the relationship.
Instensity of love is determined by how close to your bodies idea of perfect your man is and the frequency of the stimuli that his personality and being creates in you. If you are still together but he is out of town and not all of the normal stimuli is there such as sight and touch, you feel lonliness because of the absence of certain chemicals.
Love is a unique chemical coctail created by your body and mind.
Nothing more.
It only becomes more when both individuals give it the same spirituality. Like Romeo and Juliet.
Love is technically real but don't confuse it with a spiritual power. Love will not heal all. Love won't find a way. Love is not an answer, it is a result.
When you say I love you. It is just the strongest word in the English language that can express the strength of bond between you and your mate. It is only true if you mean it.

I am 37 and have a strong favor towards the character Kyle katarn from the jediknight series so I do know what you are talking about......but it just meands I like guys who are medium build with cleanly trimmed goatee's and is the hero type....I wouldnt be worried you are in love with a video game character...You like the character a lot, like her qualities,like jer intelligence and her green eyes... You will probably like the same things in the real world so use it as a tool to help you find your way in regards to love.....I wouldnt worry about it though unless she starts jumping out of the tv screen to give you a kiss or something because she isnt real so whether you love her or not doesnt really matter because she isnt springing to life anytime soon so it is just a passing infatuation.....

Everything in love is normal. But the thing is you are not. Im not saying that you are abnormal, we call that maybe infatuation. You fell inlove with a woman that doesnt really exist. you think about it. Shes not real. You want to spend your love in a non sense way? she cant feed you back with the love you are giving. Try to look around you. or try to find real girls around you. The one that can take care of you. Not the one that can only make you happy. That thing makes you happy only. Aside from that she cant do nothing at all perhaps.

hmmm.... this is tricky. I am taking psychology classes at college and I've never heard this before. I once fell in "love" with a book character- he was so brave and smart, etc. But after about a week of avoiding anything about that book I was okay. Just don't play that game for awhile and pick up a hobby to keep your mind off her. Good luck!

Find out who did the voice and she might be an old grandma with bladder control problems and you won't see Cate Archer in the same way, or the person who does the voice might be stunning too,and you might love her, but at least she's real...

It is not natural, but it is not unheard of either. When some people break up with their partners they unconciously lose trust in the real people and find refugee in loving people who don't exist. Take me for example I never had a relationship but still i find it hard to trust people so i have an imaginary friend, who is easy to talk to, to trust and someone i know pretty well. I hope this helps you.

i use to love lisa simpson in the simpsons when they showed her all grown up and stuff in this one episode !
after that which lasted for a few months i thought why did that happen and i found out its because i saw things in her which i would normaly never encounter in my life time. so the love was only for adventure and not her... some times we symbolize things.. its like people who worship fire or other things. its not that they think fire is god its their symbol they see relevance .. so because they cant get their hands on the real thing they use the next best thing which is fire...
so in your case try and lay it out for your self .. see why you love her and go after those ambitions and let alone the symbole !

You have to get out more and meet real women. She probably has the kind of characteristics you want in a real woman.
