Is it normal to be this obsessed over a girl?
So I met this girl about a year ago. Drop-dead gorgeous, easy to talk to, awesome sense of humor - I've literally NEVER-EVER connected with a girl like this before. We clicked and it seemed to be both ways.
Even though she had a boyfriend, I was very direct with her from the start - telling her that I like her, touching her etcetc. And for the most part she was cool with it.
Ok, now let's fast-forward a bit. A month or so goes by and I'm falling for her. And because we get along so well (and like I said earlier, as I was very direct with her sexually - there was no confusion on either part that we're just friends) I was fairly confident that she's going to leave her current boyfriend. So one night I told her that I have feelings for her (not just sexing her, but you know..love), asking her to leave her boyfriend and to be with me. She resisted and turned me down.
Funnily enough things didn't go awkward after that (at least on my part), as I was still sure that I can change her mind. After a while though, it became more and more evident to me that it's not going to happen.
I guess by now I've went through different phases. At first there was a bit of shame. Then anger and hate for being led on for such a long time (or just living in an illusion) and feelings of inferiority towards her boyfriend (I feel that this guy is doing a lot better than me in life in general). It literally got to the point where I was ready to murder this guy. (Which I know would be totally uncalled for. Can I really blame him for having an awesome life and being together with the girl of my dreams?). Cried for like 4,5 months daily. Not kidding. I was initially shocked myself as I literally had cried ~10 times in my past 20 years. Now it was like 4,5 times a day. After a few weeks I got used to it though. I guess it wasn't only about her, but the feelings of inferiority towards the actual boyfriend (making me feel I'm out of her league) and overall hopelessness in life.
A year or so has passed, I still think about her daily. Not as much as before though. Still, why am I so obsessed? Why can't I move on?
After the whole thing I've only been focusing on making money and working out. Probably on some level hoping that she'll one day pick me over him because of that. Or perhaps because then I could be like "I'm rich, in really good shape and enjoying my life! I'm so much better than your boyfriend and there's NOTHING you can do about it! IN YOUR FACE!!"
Haven't had sex in a year now, which is really fucked up - as before, I was the kind of guy who literally changed girls like socks. Before my twenties I'd have had sex with 30+ girls or so. Now I don't even care.. Whenever I go out (which is very rare nowadays) I get quite many glances from girls and sometimes girls throwing themselves at me, but I simply don't care. I feel like I'll never find a girl like her and even if I do - I might not have the confidence anymore to attract her.
EDIT/UPDATE!! Holy s**t! As I was re-reading what I had just wrote over and over, I had an epiphany. It's all so clear now! Turning me down like that really did damage to my sense of self-worth. (hence trying to re-find it via money and getting ripped) Which in turn made me needy and insecure..which IN TURN just worsened the situation.
I remember back in high-school I rejected THE hottest girl in school (because I feared she would reject me first) and the girl started to act really needy towards me. I remember myself not understanding why a girl of such caliber was behaving like this. I mean, she had college guys (ballers in new benzes) chasing after her. So to sum it up I guess it was an ego thing combined with generally just not being satisfied with my life in general.
Plan of action? Stop being a little bitch, get out more and be more grateful for what I have. Any other thoughts?
