What does being in love feel like to you?

Question

I think I'm in love but I'm not sure if I can explain what this feeling feels like. All I know is that I can't stop thinking about him. He's often in my dreams. I worry about him a lot and want to be around him all the time (even though I can't because we're long distance). I love him so much I would give up a kidney for him.

So what's it feel like for you?

For me, when I'm in love, everything around me enhances. When I listen to music, it sounds a hundred times better. My favorite song suddenly sounds more than just good. I find myself singing that song and remembering every single lyric. Food has so much flavor. A strawberry is not just sweet, but juicy and soft. If someone tries to hurt my feelings, oh well. The thought of the girl I'm in love with makes me feel better.

When I go to bed at night, I stare out the window and look at the moon and wonder if she is looking at the moon also. The two of us staring at the moon from two different places, I feel a certain type of magic. An unexplainable type of magic. A magic that only exists between us.

I will find myself questioning nothing, understanding everything. Everything makes sense. When she texts me or calls me, the butterflies find their way into my stomach. When I wake up that day and know I'm going to see her later on, I fear nothing. I feel like I can do anything. My courage is endless. This is what love feels like for me.

First is the butterflies in your stomach whenever they’re near or whenever you talk to him. How he’s always on your mind and just the thought of him makes you smile, happy and alive. You always want to see him, talk to him, touch him, just being with him makes your day. He’s the first and last thing on your mind. You want to make him happy and cared for. You want him to know you love him by showing him. The best part, he feels the same!!! Being in love and staying in love are two different things. Staying in love is more actions than feelings.

First off, I can look into his eyes forever. I can't make eye contact with people and have a lot of other "autistic" traits that's said by my psychiatrist himself, I had to "practice" making eye contact with people and it's a conscious effort. Even when I'm sexually attracted to someone and hooking up I can't look at him in the eyes if I'm not in love with him. But being in love completely flips that switch for me and I can make intense eye contact with no distress! I don't know why it happens, but it happens.

To know love is to experience all.

Being in love... Bliss. Pleasure. Happiness. Immersion in constant stupor; it compells me to irrational decisions I wouldn't make otherwise. I think about her non stop. I do anything to see her smile.

But being in love isn't the same as love. Because love concerns the wellbeing of someone else. And this virtue necessarily demands sacrifice and selflessness. This comes with inconvenience, work and pain.

To truly know love, you must experience all.

dynamicyandere · Answer

Nothing feels better. It’s the ultimate comfort. Everything else feels secondary.

Drugs give you a rush, but there is no meaning or purpose or sentiment behind it, and that’s why they feel empty.

But, love, real love, feels whole, because it is full of meaning and purpose and sentiment.

Experiencing love with someone who truly loves you is one of the most fulfilling experiences in life.

There are many layers to love though, so it’s important that within those layers of feelings and warmth, there is a real commitment and enduring bond being established and nurtured, otherwise the love will not be sustainable.

Love is a state of mind, it is a sense of elation whenever you are with someone that makes you feel happy from your head to your toes. You feel love towards someone you respect and enjoy being with, or when you are on your own (in your thoughts).

It is a different kind of love than what you carry for friends and family as it includes intimate love, where you connect with someone in body, mind and spirit.

Love is never one way, you should not only feel love for that person, but they should also express their love for you in the form of care and want, for it to be complete.

im still not exactly sure what true love feels like. but i know what infatuation and puppy dog love feels like. like you just want to be with them ALL the time, you feel an incredible connection to them and amazing chemistry. literally the 'we finish each others sentences' thing. You think of them all the time especially when you are away from each other. you miss them terribly and greatly anticipate the next time you spend together. infatuation is great... but i feel there's still more for me to learn about truly being in love with someone else.

Before the woman I loved passed away from this cruel world being with her made it feel like my life was complete, in balance, as things are meant to be, peaceful, hopeful, and many other wonderful things. Even through the times we were a long distance away with no way of communicating, knowing she was waiting for me put my heart at ease with something bright known to be in my future. I feel trapped and shattered without someone like her in my life, and have been searching for many years… Things tend to feel pointless without having a partner to ever share it with.

I have this feeling she'll keep making me very rigid for ever.

I was very keen on one and I did find myself thinking of her comeliness a lot. At work I felt a my trousers are too tight pain and discovered I was unconsciously caressing the cleft between the mouse buttons. Not sure how long I did that for.

That was also the moment I realized what the computer mouse is modeled on.

So you know how you feel when you look at porn and get horny?

And you know how you feel when an adorable cat or dog climbs in your lap, and makes a cute noise, and you think to yourself that you would do literally anything for this precious being?

Combine the 2 feelings, direct it at a human, give it the condition of permanent monogamy, and there ya go.

Sparkie460 · Answer

Your heart skips a beat with you think about them. When you're together you have this overwhelming feeling inside you. You want to hear their voice all the time

Nerdvana · Answer

Depends
If the other person loves you back, it's the most wonderful feeling in world.
If they don't love you, it's the worst feeling in the world.

He is a very lucky guy, you sound like an amazing women.

When you start caring about him over time. Infatuation and love are two different things though, I guess. Love is peaceful, infatuation isn't.

AliSulayman · Answer

Maybe it’s the anticipation. You love the picture you have of him in your mind. Best thing to do to figure it out is to live with him and see where things go.
