I, in the past, think i'm been overly obsessive about
things too.

I find that if you find more things to occupy your time, you
tend to be less worked up about something that is bugging you.
Exercise helps, a new hobby helps.

Worrying about it all the time and thinking about it all the time, doesn't
do anything to change it or help it.

Here's a thought....if you open yourself up to the girl you are in love
with about your feelings towards her, you'll get closure on the whole
thing, the whole obsession thing. You'll have an answer.

we tend to obsess over things that are usually loose ends, something
we don't have, something that isn't complete.

Well I think I am clinically obsessive but I will try to put some points here.

I sometimes see obsession with resistance to change, and this is with everyone.

We all are in our comfort zone, when change comes we need to get out of our comfort zone and this is now know as 'stretch zone'. After a while this stretch zone becomes comfort zone.

But I really don't know whether this principle can be applied to when you are obsessed with girls or not

Get closure fast!

if you tell her she may:
a) feel the same way
b)get weirded out and still be nice to you but not as trusting
c) get completely weirded out and never talk to you again

if you dont all of these will happen:
a)you'll obsess more
b)and More
c) AND MORE

but if its affecting your life really bad, like you think about it ALL the time. ..

GET CLOSURE FAST.

its a risk, win/lose situation, but hey thats what life is and the real losers are the one's who don't risk a damn.

alternatives:
a) never talk to her and get a life then come back years later and sweep her off her feet (of course by then, you'd have a life and not really care about her)
b) find more info from her best friend
c) change yourself that sets you apart from "friend" material to "friendship material" ( thats a whole new thread ) and try to attract her with your rico-suave, let her want you
d) get a clone machine from AUSTIN POWERS, grab a snip of her hair and plant a computer chip in her brain like the STEPFORD WIVEs and your all set!

Trust your guts, but be patient!

Well,...if you arent dating,.....then how are you being obsessive? What do these people say you're doing thats wrong or too obsessive?

[Nara]

Probably because of not dating, there's obsession.
You tend to idealize the one, you're in love with, but don't really have that in-love-contact with.
Your fantasies go wild, so your imagination does and that can get obsessive - if not doing a reality check.
So I'd suggest that...like the others said: meet her, tell her, see how things are...
