How was the relationship after you caught the person you had been “chasing” for a long time? Did the relationship and the person live up to what you had built up in your head?

When you’re “chasing” your crush your feelings are intense and a constant roller coaster of do they or don’t they like me back. When this is drawn out, you have a lot of time to fantasise and build up how great the relationship would be if they just liked you back. I thought it would be interesting to see if this actually hinders the resulting relationship because they can’t live up to the idea you manifested.
