She's not delusional. Oda made a big deal giving us the reason why she is inexperienced with such emotions. She is an amazon and she was enslaved by nobles. Her upbringing indoctrinated her with antagonism towards the outside world and men. Her experience under the hands of the nobles only reinforced her Amazon upbringing. This has pretty much closed her off from making friends and befriending men since she has suffered at their hands and fears showing weakness to her people. She has self esteem issues, for goodness sakes. This is not the loli stalker crush we see in a lot of anime where the loli sexually harasses the hero or gets a mean crush at him at first sight.
Boa only falls for Luffy after he shows selflessness, heroism, and offers himself as a sacrifice at her feet in exchange for the life of someone else. She didn't like him when they meet, she was indifferent to him, and intended to kill him.
Anyhow, she acts very proper in his presence and tries to maintain composed. She fantasizes about him, that's about it.
Anyhow, she's also Kallen Stadfeldt devoted to him 'cause she admitted she'd would have traded her life in exchange for not seeing him in his defeated and mangled condition. Whoa! Man! That's like the real deal.
