Is it normal that i feel like i'm in love with a fictional character?

I watch this American series on TV, and own a few of the DVD's and have found myself completely infactuated with one of the characters. I know that they're fictional, and that it would never happen, but I find myself wishing and thinking about them. I know this isn't a crush, as I've had a crush before, and it was nothing like this. It's not the actor, but the character, and everything about him. I feel like he's perfect for me, and I think about the character so much. It makes me seriously miserable to know that, obviously, nothing will ever happen. It feels like a love for this guy. It makes me sad to think that there won't be someone out there as perfect as he is for me, and I know it's stupid, but I can't stop thinking about him. Is this normal, or am I just deluded?

    Those characters are put there for you to fall in love with. They are chiseled and shaped to fit the mold of the perfect mate. Their lines and mannerisms are tweaked and perfected into the most loveable, adorable, sweetest, charming, courageous, daring, vulnerable and remarkable human beings the writers are capable of creating. Just remember-they're just that-figments of someone's imagination...

    But for the love of everything holy, do NOT write a "Mary Sue" fanfic. cos everyone hates those.

    so what show is it? and whose the character? maybe it's a show i watch...i personally find jim halpert from the office attractive. he was especially cute at the beginning of the series lol :P

    anyway, i think that's pretty normal, as long as you're aware that it won't go anywhere. characters are supposed to be appealing to the viewers.

    Fictional characters are supposed to appeal. There's nothing wrong with them appealing to you more than others. I could give you a list of ten actresses I'd marry just because of characters they've played. I know they're nothing like their character, but they're the closest I have.

    Yeh I would say deluded may sum u up. However there's nothing wrong with looking for the qualities he has, in a real person.
