I recently met someone who on paper seems like "the one". Realistically, I do know that the version I know of him (online) is not fully him. He has expressed romantic interest in me too but upon hearing how I feel, mentioned limerance, something I had never heard of. Despite trying to explain it to me, I don't see how it's any different than a crush or the first stages of being in love. If he were to not feel that way about me or randomly ghost me I'd be disappointed but it's not something I would spiral over. Am I in love or limerance?
