Usually fictional characters are the most near to what everyone wants (near to perfection) so for me its completely normal. Why do people like the actors or actresses? Becuz them act and the people fall in love with the roles they play in their movies.

Ya are right, its now obsession now not love. But if you think about it, they feel like they are interchangeable. Love = obsession, well it's more like love is an obsession, and love leads to obsession.

And for me, I respect what the characters do, instead of trying to fall in love and contempt with my feelings for them.

ps: IMO, respect for those who are higher up than you because some how they made it up there. Though it's sorta different when it's obtained/reached/accomplished thru luck, like the lottery or such.

Are we talking about serious love or just "Oh he's hot, I love that pixelated man" I adore plenty of fictional characters, game characters but that doesn't mean I want to have a marriage with them.

Alice wrote this earlier but there's nothing wrong with being infatuated or fantasizing about fictional characters, people fantasize about their potential partner without knowing who they are. But being in love with someone that you KNOW isn't real, that is a problem... especially if you go around saying that they are your true love or that you've never loved anyone else like you've loved Yuna. This is about as insane as being in love with an object, except if you're in love with your car, people will just think you're obsessed, in love with a game character? You're obsessed, and weird. :p
