Overcoming One-itis
One-itis is a seduction term used to describe a guy's unnatural obsession with one particular girl or woman. I suspect most guys, including my-self when I was younger, have been fixated by one particular girl or woman for no apparent reason. I remember in my late teens, I couldn't get the girl-next-door out my head - I was obsessed by her, but I never asked her out on a date! I know better now!

Obsession with one girl is unnatural, because there are millions and millions and millions of them out there! Once a guy has many options - many girls to choose from - it's unlikely he will becomed fixated by one particular woman. Generally, only men with limited or no options with respect to women become obcessed by one girl.

An effective way for a guy to overcome one-itis is to learn good PU (pick-up) skills so he can meet lots of interesting and attractive women. Then, and probably only then, he realises his obsession with one girl is silly and not natural as there are many single girls out there and some probably more compatible.

Also, one-itis in a relationship will certainly undermine it. Women don't find insecure, clingy men attractive - in fact they find them a big turn off! Being possessive and unassertive because of an obsession with a particular girl will have opposite effect of what most guys think - she won't be interested or won't be interested for too long.

Relize oneitis is bad in picking up women and bad in relationships too!


I found this, which explains the phrase nicely. I think that the reason that I did not recognize it is because I have not dated for many, many years. I was not familiar with this word, because apparently it is used by young people who are dating.

Since this is the first time that I have heard this expression, I really could not tell you. When some of the younger people come online, you may get a better answer.
