He hasn’t texted you back in 49 minutes! He must be out with another woman! You haven’t yet been with this man long enough to be certain of his feelings, and so every little thing can send you in a tizzy of worry. The problem is, as researchers discovered, infatuation causes a lot of negative emotions like anxiety, insecurity, and nervousness.

You may think that your days of being infatuated with a male were long gone after junior high, but intelligent women of every age go through being infatuated.
