Imagining Us explores the almost-relationship - the emotionally complicated space between friendship, intimacy and romantic commitment. It examines why people become attached to relationships that remain undefined, how imagination shapes romantic perception, and what happens when two people experience the same connection but assign it different meanings. The books central question is: What happens when one person in a relationship falls in love with the possibility of love? Rather than offering simplistic dating advice, Imagining Us provides a framework for distinguishing between relationship reality, relationship hope and relationship fantasy. Its distinctive contribution to relationship psychology is an examination of interpretive asymmetry: the way two people can share the same behaviours, intimacy and history while constructing different psychological realities. The book explores how ambiguity creates an interpretive environment in which attention, memory, hope and imagined futures can intensify attachment before mutual romantic desire exists. It draws on relationship psychology, research on uncertainty and interpersonal perception, cultural observation, relatable scenarios, and reflective analysis to explore ambiguity, vulnerability, communication, boundaries and the grief associated with the end of an almost-relationship. The experience can feel confusing and isolating because the outside world may not recognize it as a loss. There was no marriage. No shared home. No official breakup. Sometimes there wasnt even a first date. And yet something still ended painfully. You still feel grief. You still experience longing. You still wonder what your relationship might have become. Imagining Us is where you begin to understand your experience in an almost-relationshipthe point at which clarity becomes possible.©2026 Kevin Derksen (P)2026 Kevin Derksen
