I've never felt this way about a guy before. Sure I had crushes, and I even thought I was in love before.
When our eyes meet or when he moves in my direction I get sudden 1-second stomach pains, almost like extreme butterflies, which actually feel pretty good and exhilarating. What is this and can you explain it scientifically?
Also, he's not very good looking, at all, and I think this is the first time I've been attracted to a guy sexually for his personality and nothing else.
I just never felt this way before. I mean I never had these stomach pains before, for me I think I was always obsessive about some guys I liked and confused it with love.
By the way, I'm a sophomore in college, but I'm 17. Don't ask how that happened. I don't know if that information will help you help me.
I'm confused and overwhelmed with all these feelings. I'm feeling something very powerful that I've never felt before. Please just any feedback would be very appreciated.

It is very easy to confuse infatuation with love, so becareful with what you feel.
As for the butterflies and intense feelings, those are totally natural, because the body, mind and soul are conneted, emotionally, mentally and physically, what you feel for someone is felt. The slight thought of him most probably gets you feeling intense and different, all that is because of the connection.
Psycotheis answered Friday September 5 2008, 11:19 am: Well there should be more than just butterflies if its really how you think is love.
other types of feelings, for example, are heart rate increase(enough that you feel it and hear it), feeling like your body temperature increases or decreases depending on how youre approached, imagined thoughts of being together, uncontrollable staring, constant blushing, etc, etc....
Having most of these symptons means you feel extremely attracted to the person. One or few means not so much. And there is no actual logical reason for these things to happen, all we know is that its chemical reactions at which our brain says to send out from various glands, like for adrenaline. There are probably books on this stuff, if you care to search for them. You may be actually in love, or it might just be a unique attraction you don't understand just yet... I don't really know, that's for you to conclude. [ Psycotheis's advice column | Ask Psycotheis A Question ]
