    I have a job at my church to take pictures during the service. (Mind you it's for social media)
    I like a girl that is part of the worship team.
    Anyways, the pictures I took were posted, and when I look at the picture with the girl I like in it, I get all happy and feel like I'm getting a dopamine rush.
    And no its not from the satisfaction from seeing my pictures looking good, I do get a bit happy, but not as much as I do if i look at the pic with her in there. Since I noticed, I tried to avoid looking at THAT pic specifically. I felt like I was messing up my reboot every time I looked at THAT pic.
    Did the pathways in my brain get ruined?
    Reset? Relapse? Assistance please.

    Nope. You did not watch porn or fantasized so you're good.

    You are in love with this girl that is why you feel so happy when you see her picture. It is no relapse or no reset like Awakening said, because you did not do any of these three things.
    You are in love with that girl so now you decide what you will do next :) Good luck

    I agree with Purps.. Look at it this way.. when you get a decent reboot you will do so much good for ur self and get the confidence that you will probably have everything you need to actually ask that girl out.. and not only that but it will be natural to you as eating a sandwich :)
