Psychologist Dorothy Tennov coined the term limerence in 1979 to describe an involuntary state of intense romantic attraction: intrusive thoughts, fear of rejection, and longing for reciprocation. Her work helped distinguish early infatuation from mature attachment, though the line between crush, limerence, and love remains deeply personal. A 2010 review in Journal of Family Psychology literature notes that self-reported love feelings predict relationship satisfaction when paired with partner responsiveness, but feelings alone do not guarantee mutual commitment.

That framework helps organize mixed emotions before you decide what to do next.
