How do you Feel Love/like?

[TheLefty]

I like a girl.
But it's weird, because it randomly occurs to me "Shit, I like this girl." at which point I get this weird feeling in my stomach like I have a stomach ache, but I feel the same feeling when I'm scared or anxious. And this happens every time I feel this way about someone (not often but when it does it's strong). So ask you my fellow Escapees, how do you feel love/strong attraction? Maybe some of out older member can give us youngin's a little insight on love/strong attraction/like.

NOTE: I put all the different options because of the varying levels. I wouldn't say I love the before mentioned girl, just a strong attraction.

When I'm attracted to a girl, and I'm near them, I feel like my legs are charged with electrcity. Just my legs though.

I get butterflies when my other half (whom I love) says something sweet to me. Maybe I'm just silli though.

Afraid I can't help you much... mostly because I have no idea how I feel when I REALLY like someone.
But I guess I just want to spend as much time as possible with the girl in question. And my heartbeat frequency goes up when I see her. I Get extremely happy whenever she's around...
...
Hey would you look at that! I could help!

I feel a spike in my chest every time the girl does something nice to me.
Then I can't keep my hands to myself and that is usually when I find out shes taken.
Weird though, when I have that feeling I don't get scared I get brave enough to flirt with the girl I'm falling for.
Oh god do I love that feeling...

Ignore the immaturity for a second please, but that was a very nice 69th post.

Ok, back to mature mode.

 

[Asturiel]

I go blank.

That is all.

Then I recover if the situation is more than a wave while we pass in the hall.

If im attracted to someone I generally will figure out the best way to bed them down as fast as possible. If you're male and between the ages of 13 and death this should be your standard approach. If you want to keep them around, however, you should feel like you can be yourself and not be ashamed of it.
If your young, don't get tied down... made that mistake and turned down alot of good puss.

Pretty much how you described. I feel scared, and I want to throw up. I'm very bad with girls, though. I'm fine as long as I'm in a group, but if a girl approaches me one-on-one I turn into a stammering idiot.

 

[Flames66]

I have no Idea. When it happens, I'l let you know.

 

[Sebenko]

I get a shiver down my spine. I love that feeling.

 

[Anticitizen_Two]

I used to feel like that... but I haven't really liked a girl for years. Maybe one day I'll actually get to experience love, but for right now I'm fine being single.

 

[InvisibleSeal]

Well I haven't ever "loved" anyone, but when I'm out with a guy I like generally I smile at everything silly they say, even when it probably isn't funny. And generally when I'm going out with someone, I feel kinda protective of them: as in, if they get a bit upset then I'll watch over them until everything is sorted out (I'm usually classed as one of those people who is "indifferent" to most things).

 

[Jackalb]

I do a barrel roll.

 

[DefunctTheory]

I get sad.

Don't ask me, there's something horribly wrong here and I know it, but I haven't the slightest idea.

Some might call what you are experiencing the biological sensation of love. Since there are many experiences of what one can call love, it seems that love is the combination of several different sensations and sentimental experiences. Therefore a love-worthy relationship is about reciprocation, if you love that girl, her feelings should compliment yours if she in turn loves you and vise-versa.

At this point, I could jump onto different topics and applications of the word love but it is simple that whatever is done in the name of unconditional regard for another's wellbeing, that is true love. I may not have answered what I experience love as but thats because I am not just talking fron an analytical perspective but a seasoned one too.

 

[Klarinette]

I completely agree. Stomach ache mixed with anxiety. It's exciting, though, in some weird way. And I always end up making an ass of myself in front of them, usually by saying too much.

Well, when I had my biggest crush, I went through several signs. I had the desire to always be with her, I went into depression because I feared she resented me for it, I felt sick by the thought of her being with someone else, I blushed whenever she complimented me, and I got really nervous around her (although I've become pretty good at faking self-confidence, so no worries). Now she's seeing someone, and I'm thankful for that. Gave me a wakeup call that I had to stop being so pathetic and get on with my life. Couldn't be more happy for her, and I'm happy just being a really good friend.

But for most of the time when I had the crush, I was very depressed. Because I knew later on as a fact that she didn't feel that way, but I could never let go. So it sank down into self-loathing and banging my head against a wall.
