"Limerence"... is a romantic obsession with an individual you are not with. This is often an Ex. But it could also be a stranger, a casual acquaintance, or even a celebrity.
*Note: when an individual has been separated from an Ex for a period of time, their brain starts to remember only the "good" things about being with them, burying all the problems and flaws, this is called the "Halo-effect".
Can you be "just friends" with someone you are experiencing limerence with? No... to recover from the obsession, you have to go No Contact.
