I don't know what's happening to me... It takes me forever to go to sleep nowadays. I'll just lie in bed at night for hours, thinking about him, his smile, thinking back on great memories we've shared, picturing him and I napping in the shade with my head on his chest, imagine us slow dancing, imagining him kissing me, etc. I keep listening to love songs, daydreaming, grinning. There's this constant swelling feeling in my chest, it's kinda weird, but I don't really mind it. When I daydream about him, the swelling feeling is almost overwhelming. He's the first thing that pops into my head when I wake up in the morning, and the thing depriving me of sleep at night. It's driving me insane! Are these things common? More importantly, am I crazy? I don't wanna be a crazy-stalker-lady. Please halp! ;A;
As one of the other advice givers said, it depends how well you know this guy. If you simply know him as an acquaintance, I would agree that you are infatuated with him rather than in love, yet. But yes, what you are doing is completely normal, as long as (like the others said) it is not taking over your life. I believe many of us have felt the same way or done something similar at some point in our lives.
If you do know him better (e.g. he is a close friend, you're dating, he's a boyfriend, etc), then you very well may be in love. If he's only a friend just keep in mind that though this is normal, you do not want to close yourself off to just one boy, because you do not want to end up getting hurt in the end. However, if it does work out, then that would be great!

It sounds like an intense crush, and perhaps you are in love with the person-but you just don't love them yet (they are different after all)
I experience this too, and I guess it's fun fantasising. The trouble is, if you guys are actually going to be an item, you need to stop fantasising for fear of dissapointment.
As long as it doesn't take over your life and any rational thought you have, then I suppose theres not harm with a bit of fantasising. [ kittenlover2000's advice column | Ask kittenlover2000 A Question ]
Xenolan answered Friday January 4 2013, 1:32 pm: You are infatuated. It's not quite the same as being in love, but it can be the first step.
One of the big things that makes the difference is how well you really know him. If you've mostly admired from afar and don't actually know him as a person all that well, then it's simple infatuation. If you DO know him well - if you talk to him, spend time with him, understand him, and still feel this way - then you are most likely in love.
Another way to tell if you're in love: Do you see him as perfect, ideal, everything you've ever wanted in a crazy good-looking package, suitable for carving in marble? Or, do you know that he has flaws, but somehow they don't really matter? Again, this is something that comes from knowing him better.
One thing to keep in mind, if you wish to pursue a possible relationship with him (which is something that you should by all means do, unless there's some overriding reason not to!) - be careful not to put him on too high a pedestal, because that's the surest way to ensure he always remains out of reach.
