I am in love with a girl, but she won't be able to reciprocate

I am deeply in love, to the point of obsession, with an amazingly attractive girl/woman. Everytime I am in her company I feel overawed by her presence: her perfect body and features, her voice, her manner, her intellect, everything. Even on a forum,  I am not confident enough to say what this person does or how I know her, but I do not see her that often and she is only an acquaintance of mine. I think she is probably straight, although I don't know this,  and love is blind. It is hard having Asperger's and being a ***.

I have always been obsessed with people, but this one is particularly extreme. I think about her every day, and feel full of excitement whenever I get to be with her.

What can I do? The thing is, I yearn for a relationship with another woman, but I don't know how to find this. But I am just as capable of love as anyone else, and this obsession is making me cry and feel anxious, as well as happy. I can't even talk about it with my therapst - I can tell no-one!

  • In response to your questions, she does not yet know I am gay but part of me would love to tell her this. But I always feel vulnerable disclosing my orientation in case people are judgemental or negative.

    Yes, she has a partner so I would not be able to be with her in any case. She is, I think, oblivious to my feelings for her.

    I have considered gay dating sites but I find them rather intimidating.
