Thanks, Martian!
You actually just made my day (I mean it).

I think you need help. I don't mean that as a joke and I'm not stating it lightly. I think you need some serious psychiatric intervention and I think you need to get it as soon as possible, before you do yourself or someone else some major harm. I quite frankly find the way you've fixated on this girl to be so far outside of social norms as to be seriously alarming and I really, honestly think you need to do something about it.

This thought passed through my mind while I was reading your posts, Kpax, but I didn't know if it was appropriate to suggest something so directly. Martian has gone ahead and done it, and I agree 100% with him. Have you ever seen a counselor? There is no shame in it... a great number of us on TFP have been to counseling, including myself, and I highly recommend it to you as someone whose relationships have benefited from the experience.
Please take Martian's words seriously. The fact that you did not (and still do not) recognize the error in your buying a $3000 ring for someone you've never sat down and had a conversation with is alarming.
