Fictophilia 

Desire, sexual attraction, or intense feelings of love towards a fictional character, similar in strength and application of those felt towards real people.

Fictophiles rare experience fictophilia exclusively while being unable to connect with real people, but often fictophilic desires persist even when the person is in a serious real life relationship.
After realising she judged every relationship by how much like Hermione Granger her girlfriends were, Jane came to suspect she might meet the criteria for fictophilia.

He was so in love with Dean Winchester, he knew it was fictophilic.

Filophile 

A Filophile is a person who is fond of Philippine culture, Philippine languages, the Filipino people, and/or the Philippines in general.

Another term for this is Filipinophile, but it's too long and unwieldy.
Tagalophile is also an acceptable term, but might trigger Sugbuanon fanatics.
"I love the Philippines so much that it needs a term of its own. I now declare myself a Filophile."
