Idealisation in early love

Early love naturally distorts vision; you see not the person in front of you but the promise they seem to hold, which is neither dishonest nor dangerous if you know it's happening. The task is to gradually replace projection with actual seeing, to let the real person be more interesting than your fantasy of them.
