A word I simply don't recall hearing - Limerence

[BigT]

@NDP

To me, the word has a creepier edge to it than “infatuation”. Limerence seems like something a stalker would have toward his or her object of unwilling affection.

Huh. To me it sounds the opposite, like a term to make it sound more proper. It sounds vaguely elegant, while “infatuation,” “obsession,” and “lust” sound like bad things.
