Reddit mentions of Love and Limerence: The Experience of Being in Love

Yes, although you may come to view that sensation as potentially dangerous to the relationship, at least I do. That's not to say that those feelings are bad, it's just that when you experience them, you may be learning more about yourself than the other person.

If you have ever crushed on a friend that you have known for a while, you have a great laboratory for looking at this- you can superimpose your current vision of them with your prior vision of them, and learn a great deal about what you emphasize when you crush on someone, and learn a bit about who and what you want to be yourself in doing so.

That head-over-heels feeling is wonderful, and nourishing- but it's important not to let it distract you from the complete humanity of the other person, and lead you to unrealistic expectations or standards for them. You need to interact with the actual person, rather than the idealized version that you are projecting onto them. I think it also tends to be unsustainable, and a great relationship will mature into something less intense, but possibly more profound.

I found Jung's notion of anima- particularly as described by Robert Johnson to be compelling thought on the subject. Also the notion of Limerence as described by Dorothy Tennov. These are great sources for navigating beginning relationships, but also exceedingly useful when you want to process- but not act on- attraction.
