When I like a girl, it usually takes time to sink into me. this may be 5 seconds or 5 years. One day I would be like, Ehh, shes not so pretty, the next day I would say HOLY SH*T SHE IS HOT!!! Seriously, just the middle of this school year, this girl I have known sense kidnergarted whom I always thought was okay looking, has suddenly, in my mind, become super hot. I am not sure how that works. Whenever I get near her, my arms ache, I feel like I am going to colapse, My stomach fills with nervousness, my head gets clogged with thoughts that I can't distinguish, My vission is partly impared, I can't notice anything, and my speach abillity is crippled. So one day, for some reason, I am able to talk to her normally. I say "Hey Olivia... Would you like to go out... Sometime?" as I am saying that, I can't look her in the eye... or look at her at all. Then when I look her in the eye, they turn all bright and blinding... and beautiful. I am completly convinced their is only two things she can say... Yes or No... She says mabey. My least favorite word in the english dictionary. when I first heard the song Mabey in Fallout 3, my head was bashed in by a super mutant... and for several other reasons I hate that word. I never got an answer back from her. still haven't. With most girls I like, I can get over them in a month or so... It has been 5 months of me liking her and I can't get her out of my head... WHY GOD???
I feel like most of the guys in this thread when this happens.
Same old. There's a reason why love is associated with the heart. You hear it thumping louder when you really like someone, to the point of infatuation. If it's obsessive love, and it's very easy for it to be, the stomach gets involved as you long for them with a feeling similar to hunger but more painful.
If you are convinced that they're the best one for you, you can feel a severe though not entirely physical pain in your chest whenever you see them. This is usually more powerful if you think that they don't like you back.
If they do like you back, there's usually a sort of soaring sensation. I don't often compliment JK Rowling's writing, but she actually got this teenage feeling down very well. As a young adult, I'd say that we can still feel that intense way about love in adulthood. It's just harder for us to commit to someone to the point where we start yearning, since we don't have testosterone or oestrogen forcing us to make irrational or non-mutual attachments to those around us.
The strange thing about the painful feelings of attachment, though, is that once you have no one to link them to, for whatever reason, you miss the feeling. I guess it's kind of like getting both the positive (highs, ecstatic feeling, general abundance of energy) and negative effects (withdrawal, lethargy, crabby moods) of a stimulant drug like alcohol, except you get both at the same time.
I look forward to the day when I trust a woman enough to feel that way again. So far, none have gotten close enough for me to let myself go. It's just pointless if it's not mutual.

I normally get oh-shit-i'm-gonna-have-a-heart-attack-shit-myself-puke-stroke-at-the-same-time feelings, and when I talk to them, I usually ramble on about nothing or proceed to shove my foot-nay, my whole lower body-into my mouth by saying stupid things. Many of my feelings stem from the fact that women terrify me.
Due to the fact that I'm asexual I simply don't get attracted to them, instead of finding someone desirable I think of them as a pretty picture. They are something that you look at, but would find strange to touch.
You are feeling a sexual attraction. Simple as that. As for love, it is not necasarrily a sheer overriding emotion urging you to fuck "her." Love means that you want to protect that person even though that would mean distroying yourself... physically or emotionally.
