Am i truly in love?

You'd be remiss to call this love, scooter. So, yes, this is normal - because youngins always get caught up on this "love" nonsense - but no, this is not 'Love.' Love, ultimately, is a shared experience. No solo missions with that duty.

Seems you barely know the girl, though, kid. You're quite rapt, I'm sure, but these are the symptoms of infatuation. So if you're a teenager, congrats -- you've officially become one of many adolescent stereotypes, and hopefully this experience doesn't go completely pear-shaped because it's entirely likely that this little emotional adventure of yours could damage you thru your twenties if execute without forethought and consideration. haha

If you're not a teenie-booper, well... it seems you lapsed in your studies as a teenager as you should've figured this one out by now, so for your sake, I pray you're just a newbie.

But hey! Good news is that you are feeling good about someone, and that's good times. Not so fun when it's unrequited, though, is it? Adoring from afar doesn't cut it, chief. Don't sit on the sidelines -- go out there and make it happen. If you can't - because of circumstance - I'd advise moving on. Girls come and go... but you only have to pimp your soul once to lose it.

I hope you find a place to direct all of this bursting passion. Otherwise, you'll be EMO by midnight. Goodluck.

Love is a myth!

It depends, do you know her well? I'm on your side, because I'm exactly like this with a girl I know, we're extremely close friends and I feel that I really do love her. I think it depends if you genuinely know her well, or she's just that girl you see around school or whatever that you know a bit about.

A little teen infatuation never did anyone any harm :)

it sounds like love if ive ever seen it (and i have) but remember my moto anything is possible it could seem like love and than everything could blow up in ur face u never know

Lol illegroAD .... Luv the bluntness !!!

it sure sounds like it

Thank you all, especially illegro for your help on this subject

Sure.

Though I never said it was about her body, hoss. Lusting after someone and being infatuated, while sometimes similar in experience, are very different as well. Were you just out to just make some fuck, I suspect you would've skipped over the puffery and dramatics, and gotten straight to that which is boner-inspiring.

But to Magicpears' point, it is indeed true that what the mind does not know, the imagination supplies. I said it seems as if you barely know her. And I mean in the deeper sense of the word. I'm sure you know her. You are aware of her existence and she - we hope - is aware of yours. You two may even exchange a few pedestrian conversations every so often. But you haven't gotten past the wrapping paper yet because you're still spellbound by the package. And with words so glowing with glistening with misty perfection, it occurs to some of us, likely the more bitter, jaded or consequently savvy of the bunch, that such one-sided wonders do not truly exist; and that for you to speak of her with such pristine subjectivity, this most likely means you have not discovered her true likeness yet. I'm not saying that she's secretly a troll or some evil little minion, but simply that it seems as if your interaction together has not yet advanced to the point where you can have a less biased, mildly objective idea of the girl. Instead, for the moment, you seem to have convinced yourself that she is perfection personified. But this is not so. It never is. Though you should realize, Love is as much about accepting faults, defects and flaws as it is embracing the beauty of the soul.

But don't fret, kid... this is one of those lessons so many of us learn the hard/long/painful way. Hopefully you will see your way through this experience and be better and wiser for it.

But again, good luck... if history is any guide, you will need it. Though, I kind of miss those days. So much simpler, then... ah, nostalgia. What a bitch.

lol no no such thing as the love you think of its an illution
heres a nice lil thing to think of
is she hot? skinny? then yeah u basicly see it as human instinct not love i mean yeah u might say thats not why its because shes smart funny and cares
yeahhhh....well just imagine all the fat or ugly girls with the same personality that u dont want to giv attetion too or the ones you already know but they aint hot so u havent seen it in them and really dont care cuz they aint hot

or maybe ur the ugly one or the fat one and really your only saying this because shes the only type u can make due with so just imagine that then some FUCKING STUNNING GIRL asks you out u would defo leave the so called *love of your dreams* for this hottie

and imagine you got a hot girl who loves you and your a hot stud who loves her
do you really think she would still love you the same amount if u were ugly or if you were in an accident and you were deformed?
nah mate i dont think they would

guys dont fool ya slefes love aint what you see it as its all illutions
love aint real that happy ever after and true love chuck it in the bin fellas cus it aint ever gonna happen

i aint saying this because some shit has happened to me or anything i just really hate when people say there in love
When there really is no such thing

In my general opinion, it doesn't sound like it. It sounds like you're caught up in the idea of being in love with the girl, and you don't know well enough so you fill in the blanks with perfection. I think everyone does this at some point when they're young.

You just sound like a hopeless romantic that has a crush on a girl and WANTS to be in love with her.

Btw, it's normal. It's just not love.

But thanks for the help

I am a teenager, and I am not in this for her body, if that's what your saying. I would never dream of ever doing that, she is to pure for that.

Hopefully
