Dopamine Robber

Anybody from the opposite sex that gets you smiling at first, over the thought of her/him, but is way too charming and endearing to the point where you risk getting addicted. Until one day, you wake up realizing your brain is suddenly incapable of producing natural endorphins because that amazing person of the opposite sex unknowingly robbed the dopamine receptors in your brain. (The somewhat psychological definition.)

Someone who is like a drug you get addicted to and so then you gotta dig yourself out of a hole. (The layman's term definition.)

-Riley: "Hey, I saw you a couple months ago and you were happy in an almost manic way. What happened?"

-Madison: "Yeah, I met this boy who was a total dopamine robber. I'm through playing with fire."

-Riley: "That sucks."

-Madison: "Trust me, you never wanna form a crush on a dopamine robber. It's dangerous. You might as well take up cocaine for a hobby."
