Nancy Boyd "The kind of longing you feel with limerence is an extreme and unbalanced form of attraction and wanting, that has little hope of fulfillment because it is based upon a fantasy rather than facts, hopes rather than realistic assessment of the potential, and usually also characterized by an unhealthy attachment to a romantic outcome that may be difficult or impossible to meet, thus dooming the situation from the start. Limerence is the epitome of the unrequited love story, because it is the not-having that feeds the longing and helps build the fantasy."

Nancy Boyd Nikool Love Well, that is a whole different topic. I personally tend to think that limerence happens with Soul Flames rather than Twins. But I'm not an expert on this. The element that would make a TF relationship not limerent is that both parties are feeling the intensity, regardless of what they do about it. With limerence, only the limerent person is having the feelings, not the object of their attention. That can change -- and sometimes does -- but rarely.

Nikool Love Mine was married when we met. Not much he could've done about it..and he chose not too.
