So women are funny creatures. We can have lots of men liking us, date us, and enjoy having fun with them and think nothing of it. But as soon as we meet a guy we like, we can't help but obsess about dating.

We wonder if he will like us back and if he will call when he'll call, should we text or wait till he texts? It can be excruciatingly painful waiting for that phone to beep, even if the phone does beep, the only person we want to hear from is the guy we are madly in love with.

Here are five phrases that can change your love life — for the better

1. 'My feelings are normal'

Obsessive thinking when you are a girl is normal. So congratulate yourself, you are just like every other intelligent female. As suggested by a study in Educational Psychology Review, some of the most intelligent and successful leaders in the world think obsessively. They analyze everything. 

That is what makes them great for what they do. Their attention to detail means they can prepare for any disaster and get the best people to carry out the task at hand. So, just look at it this way: your obsessive thinking is preparing you for all scenarios, just in case.

A study in the Personal Relationships Journal helps show how dating is no different. All you have to do with a guy you like is practice good dating skills and leave the rest up to the Universe to figure out.

We know about all the great advice there is out there about being a woman of confidence and keeping yourself busy, but that is all hard to do. We obsess about what to say and when to say it if we say it right.

Whether we look desperate or if we are not showing enough interest, we even obsess about how the relationship is going to end when we break up with him and how we will deal with that. As you can see, we obsess about everything.

Meanwhile, we feel like we can't tell anybody we have all these illogical thoughts in our head because we so desperately want our relationship to work out, we make it worse by not sharing with our friends in case they judge or laugh at us. 

Believe me when I tell you that obsession is normal, and you won't end up emotionally unstable, please do take some comfort in that.

Everybody, especially us women, obsesses all the time when we worry about things when we enter the unknown and, of course, when the hottest guy in our town is asking us out.
