Answer:

Erotomanic delusions.

Step-by-step explanation:

An erotomanic delusion, or erotomania, is a belief that a person is in love with the individual against all odds and evidence. It's simmilar to a paranoid delusion, but in this type, the person affected believes that another individual is in love with him - her.
