i think there is a fine line and the only one who knows you are crossing it is the person on the receiving end.

I think persistent carries the implication that you're still operating with some degree of control. Obsessive means it's controlling you....

a persistent person still has a degree of hope, hasn't been given the signal to back off.... an obsessed person has lost all hope, has been told to back off, yet continues to persue regardless.

Persistence...When you aren't sure yet how the other person feels so you keep trying to win their heart!!!!!!

Obsession.....After the person has no and you still persist!!!!!

obsession- wanting that person and thinking no one else will have her/him if you can not even when he/she has made it clear that the anser is NO!

persistence- calling a few times after he/she saids no
after that you are obsessed

i think persistance is when u have a goal in a relationship or any matter in life.
obsession is usually when u have select few other options and deep inside u only obsess cause u feel u have no where else to turn.

persistence: continue to push through, even though it's hard...because you know the goal is worth it.

obsession: continue to push through because you CAN'T do anything other than...

Persistence is acknowledged and sometimes reciprocated
Obsessive may require a restraining order
