Butterflies in your tummy

Have you felt butterflies when you first met your bf/gf or still do feel butterflies when you meet your partner? or the person you like.

And what exactly do butterflies feel like o.O?

what would you make of this; i like some one very much but i dont get this thing called butterflies, he said he doesn't either. But we both seem to get upset if the other is :s-smilie:

, well i think he does too.
I feel really happy to talk to him, and i get sad when he's not online, or if he's in a mood etc.

I used to get that feeling... in fact i always get it at the beginning of a relationship. It always fades. There's nothing wrong with that, its just a natural thing as you get to know each other more.

yes i suppose thats what its known as.
its quite a strange sensation more in mid section than stomache. like an airy fluttery feeling. hard to describe.

I used to get butterflies with my boyfriend, for me my stomach used to feel all funny and my heart would beat really fast. I wouldn't say i get them as frequently anymore, more when i haven't seen him for a long period of time.

"Butterflies" are really just a little adrenaline kick to your stomach. Nothing mystical or magical about them. So yeah, when you're really excited to see someone, you get them, but if you're more used to them, you don't - but that doesn't mean you care any less!

Think theres enough in a relationship if neither get butterflies?

There are 3 guys that I like at the moment (just like, not dating!!!). I get butterflies when I see each of them, but they all feel different, like with one it's lighter and more fluttery, and with one it's more intense. And one makes my heart beat slightly faster, although I think it was because we hadn't seen each other in ages.

Is it just butterflies because you feel nervous then?
If your comfortable you wont feel nervous?
And others would you just say butterflies are just being excited?

you don't necessarily have to have your hormones in synch, but I guess that's what people call "chemistry" - you know? but then for some people, getting into a relationship just isn't as exciting as bungee jumping. everyone's got different reactions. what's important is knowing what you like, and knowing when you've got it.

There are better relationship hormones than adrenaline, though :wink:

Why do people think they're some mythical magical ingredient of a relationship? Or am I too much of a science geek?

But saying epinephrine makes you sound like a silly American :wink:

Endorphins are fun stuff too, though it's not them that gives you the butterflies.

I was seeing a guy in my first year at uni - obviously it didn't work out, but even now when I see him around I go physically weak at the knees and feel like someone's punched me in the stomach.

I thought I was just soft :wink:

Probably the best way to avoid it is to stop eating butterflies
