I've always been in love with things or people that don't love me back. It isn't healthy at all.
I think there's quite a difference between fictosexuality, objectum sexuality, and unreciprocated organic attractions and relationships. If you want to discuss these with me, I'd encourgae you to start a thread on the topic. I would find such a discussion fun. I'm not sure I want to derail my own thread with that particular tangent here, though.
