I haven't gone as far as obsessing (all the time... I've been tempted sometimes)... but I have suffered emotional abandonment from both my parents and am constantly in search of "mother figures." I found this to be the case most especially at work, but even as young as 7 or 8 I remember clinging to elementary school teachers like my (emotional) life depended upon it.
I just wanted you to know that I hear you and I can sympathize with what you're going through. I agree therapy -perhaps with a male- might be helpful. I am heterosexual but I work with a male and it has been quite a different experience than working with females. I have been able to get farther along with him because I'm not so desperately seeking approval and such...
Good luck. --K
