Have you ever loved the idea of someone more than the person themselves?

Absolutely, falling in love with the idea of someone can be as easy as pie! It's like how a dessert menu promises an enchanting chocolate cake, but the real deal sometimes doesn't live up to the fantasy. We often idealize people, attributing them qualities they might not possess, only to realize later that reality doesn't match our vivid imaginations. This phenomenon is oh-so-common, a sort of emotional mirage if you will. It's all part of the learning curve of love, teaching us to cherish genuine connections over enchanting illusions. 😉

Sometimes… because the person only shows you their "best" self (especially a potential dating interest), so that's what you know, and you build your knowledge around that… not realizing that there's a whole load of things that have not yet been revealed.
