MD affecting individual relationships?

[Creator]

I'm wondering if this daydreaming is negatively affecting my relationship with my boyfriend. When I can't see him, I daydream about him, or a version of him I think. Therefore, I'm satisfying my need to see him by daydreaming, so when I actually do see him, instead of being all excited because I haven't seen him in a week, I act nonchalant because I just daydreamed about him 30 minutes ago. 

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this same phenomenon. I'm sure someone has, most of everyone's experiences seem to be pretty similar. 

Anyway, something that I thought was really crazy was this one song I heard that explained my daydreaming perfectly. 

That one 50's song that goes, 

Dreeeeeam,

dream, dream, dream, 

Dreeeeeeam,

dream, dream, dream

when I want you, 

in my arms, 

when I want you, 

and all your charms, 

whenever I want you, 

all I have to do...

is dreeeeeeeeeeeeeam, dream. 

I can make you mine, 

taste your lips of wine, 

anytime:

night or day.

Only trouble is, 

gee-whiz, 

I'm dreamin' my life away.

 

 

Craziness.

the only way I think it's affecting my relationships is in my lack of romantic relationships. I can make friends just fine, but when it comes to anything past that....I'm completely mentally crippled. I've always had a sneaking suspicion that the daydreaming contributes to my inability to connect romantically with someone....but I don't know for sure.

Oh yeah, I know that song well.  

Normally I'm so attached to my characters that I can't form relationships.  When I've tried to talk to people I just get frustrated by them because they're not nearly as smart or engaging as anyone in my daydreams.  So, knowing that I would advise you to nip this in the bud before it destroys any and all desire you have to enjoy people in the outside world.  I'm not saying this is bad.  It's a beautiful thing that we can create characters so engaging.  However, if you get sucked into it too much it can get worse until you have no need for him at all anymore.  Right now it doesn't sound all that bad, but you have to be careful while it's not that bad.  You want daydreaming to keep being something beautiful in your life and not something that takes over your life.
