How do you Feel Love/like?

[RollForInitiative]

Interestingly, things were different for myself and my girlfriend than it sounds like for most people here. What we eventually realized was that we just felt completely comfortable and at peace when around each other. No butterflies, no anxiety, no stomach aches, no weak knees. We just feel...content.

 

[Prometherion]

When it feels right.

Smushy yet profound...

I usually get excited and start look around, trying to look casual and avoid looking in her eyes.

But this was probably just teenage lust, seeing as how I can't "love" anyone without even knowing them first.

 

[Shanannara]

I feel ill, and my self-esteem goes out the window, I get scared, anxious and start sweating a cold sweat.

I don't get why people crave it, it feels like a fucking heroin withdrawal!

I agree. Liking someone is awful, just awful. Finding out they like you just as much is the best thing in the world though. I really hoped I'd have grown out of this by now.

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.

That's actually a pretty normal feeling. When I was really young I can remember feeling those exact same sensations, which is usually why most young people are so nervous and animated around a person they have a crush on. As you get older though you get much more used to the feeling, to the point it's not nearly as intense as when you were younger.... but it's still there. Your ability to manage it and control yourself better in those situations gets better too.

I look down and I'm like

Shit, I really don't need this sticking up right now.

I can't look into people's eyes regardless of feelings. Looking into people's eyes makes me feel so exposed, like they can see my entire soul. I have a really hard time focusing on eye contact. I just tend to look in different directions. I'm a bit afraid that people take it the wrong way.

 

[Riobux]

With sudden realisation, something along the lines of "whoah, I like this girl!". I then end up feeling depressed every time I'm unable to talk to them.

You know, like now.

Its strange how simple eye contact with the right person can make such a difference.

Oh, and this usually happens...

I get a very similar reaction to this actually. It is really quite a terrible feeling, yet oddly enough I do crave it XD.
I have only ever fallen in love once, and I still am in love with the same girl. She will never know, at least not if I have anything to say about it.

 

[Sir Kemper]

I get some odd feelings in odd places.

Mostly my back and stomach.

Where did you think I was talking about?

Depending on the attraction, my ability to talk may also go down.

 

[robert022614]

well you get nervous when your attracted to someone the proverbial butterflies in the stomach. Best thing to do is buckle down and tell the person how you feel. if they feel the same way and you get together the butterflies tend to die down alittle. i remember i was really good friends with a girl and (secretly) liked her sooo much. either way one day we were driving around all day and when i got to her house she simply asked if i want to go out and me (very stupidly) saying sure where do you want to go? she started laughing and then i caught on and almost passed out due to the embarrassment. either way not too much you can do about the stomach things besides asking someone out and trying it i dated that girl for like 5 years and still to this day still get it alittle lmao. good luck

 

[ethaninja]

When a girl so much as makes eye contact with me, my heart starts beating heaps heavy and fast. Very strange. What is this odd, primitive behaviour?

 

[RanD00M]

Love.What is this "love" that you speak of?
<color=white>That was a joke!
OT:I just don't know.I'm a pretty relaxed person,and I show that through out everything that I do.Well maybe not on LANS .But Laning and being relaxed don't mix well in group of friends.

 

[Slash Dementia]

I feel my chest sink when I talk to the person that I like. I've always been the kind of person that will fall for a person and constantly think about it her.
Other than my chest feeling that way, my mind starts to wander off somewhere. I think I'm really prone to being hurt in a relationship because of how much I'm willing to put into it. (Thank you Dante Alighieri..)

I have no idea how to calm that down.

Ain't that the truth...

 

[Angryman101]

I get really insecure. More than normal. I make friends with them really fast, and start workin' my game, but the minute something bad happens it's like I've been hit in the stomach with an ice cannon.
"Did I do something wrong? What did I do?! I wish she'd talk to me. Well, if she's not going to talk to me, fuck her anyways. God, why do I feel so terrible? I'm being an idiot. Oh well...*checks phone every 5 minutes*...*general feelings of depression and loneliness set in*...HEY she's talking to me! Hahaha!"
Repeat that process almost every day. I wish I knew how to just chill the fuck out.
