Limerence Test
18 Questions
3 Minutes
Are you too obsessed with someone?
Limerence is the desire to be desired. Someone experiencing limerence is not necessarily in love or even attracted to the object of their desire, but they are obsessed with whether or not the other person likes them. Limerence can make someone feel monomaniacal, focused excessively on any detail that would indicate if their feelings are reciprocated.
