Sure! I was in love with a weird amalgam of Mary Jane Parker and every girl in my homeroom class for most of High School. Yes, I said Parker. I want to win her away from Spider-Man; otherwise it's not worth it.
I think it's very common to enter a state of "love receptivity." It's the idea of being in love with being in love, as expounded upon by so many of our wordiest poets and tersest bathroom graffiti artists.
Teens are most susceptible, but the condition may also afflict those in terrible marriages reading romance novels, anyone watching John Hamm on film, or those under the influence of a powerful aphrodisiac like oysters or John Hamm on film.
I'd suggest learning as much as you can about John Keats, then living it (up until the Tuberculosis part). Love can be powerful stuff, and it will come in good time (preferably with an actual person attached). For now, pine away and try not to let your love-lust lead to any foolish decisions.
