Butterflies

[redrose85]

Was just reading Jennster's post, and I realized that I have never felt butterflies in my life, not with any friends I've had or people I've dated. I got this dizzy, happy feeling when I first met my bf, and when we kiss, but other than that, nothing. This can't be normal, because so much emphasis seems to be placed on feeling "butterflies". I know I can't force them, but has anyone else experienced this?

I havent experienced the butterflies, only this weird feeling that seems to shoot up my neck when i realise how much i love my girl.

I think that dizzy happy feeling may be butterflies... I mean.. it doesn't necessarily feel like a swarm of butterflies are crawling aorund in your gut...

Yeah honestly butterflies aren't even a happy feeling - for me it was almost a sense of dread. I would get physically ill every time I knew I was going to be seeing the guy I was crushing on. I would get so nervous in my stomach that I could hardly eat...for me those were butterflies. Everyone is different. When I'd get that feeling in the pit of my stomach I KNEW I really like a guy...the only reason I brought up my other thread was because I rarely experienced that feeling with my current boyfriend.

Well, it may mean that you really liked the guy or it could have simply been nerves that you were turned on by him and how you weren't secure that he felt the same - could have been all about ego. That would explain why people feel butterflies for people that are complete strangers - nothing to do with the person really - just hormones, lust and anxiety/insecurity.

Just reminds me of South Park... hehe. I have never bene that greatly affected... but, funny how that closely describes the feeling I have when an SO drops "the bomb"...

Butterflies? More like full sized condors at times. I still get them when I come back home from a business trip.

Lol, i meant it in a more magical way

 

Kinda like when you hear a song you really like and you get bouncy/happy/tingly all over?

Im like this, only its not so much 'physically ill' as just feeling really bad... (and its not the guy im crushing on )

I also get butterflies sort of like an empty feeling when things arent going right in life... They're a by-product of me being in a really bad/unhappy mood...
