Pronounced "Mal-ah-MO-rey" (with a slight Italian roll of the "r"), the Malamore is a term created in an MDI English class to describe the feeling a person developes toward a person that starts as a physical attraction (or a crush), then grows into what feels like a passion. It is when you seem to not be able to acquire that person, but would do anything for them. Somewhere between love and "like-like."
Person 1: You really like him a lot, don't you?
Person 2: Yeah, but he's going out with Robin. We talk all the time though.
Person 1: Sounds like you're suffering from some serious Malamore.
