Do you get butterflies in your stomach?

[Noblejanobii]

*sigh* I wish. I'm going to start off by saying, well, you're wrong if you think everyone gets them. I've never had a crush in the way anyone has ever described it to me. My throat never goes dry, I don't feel flustered around the person, I don't get butterflies, or anything really. I think the closest I've ever come to a crush is the literal acknowledgement that a guy is someone I would totally date, and I don't think that's the same thing as a crush. I'm still kind of waiting for the infamous "first crush" to occur and I'll be honest, it's still disappointing to this day that I've never had even a little crush, especially since I've always been told once you hit puberty that you're immediately supposed to start having crushes. I don't think I've ever had one in my life and I've never once been told "oh yeah that's okay". I guess society views that it's not but you know, it's one of those things. Maybe I'll start having crushes when I get to college.

Uh...where did I say I think that everyone gets them? I don't recall saying that. Especially since aromanticism is a thing. O_o You never know, you could be aromantic. *shrugs*

You didn't, I wasn't saying you do. Chakra said "Well of course we all get them." Which I think is incorrect. The You I was using was referring to the general you not like you in particular.

Ohh, right. My bad!

Ah right. Sorry I put it poorly. Yeah not every one of us gets them early on, but at some point in our lives we do. It's those feeling that kinda change us though especially from the very first one you get. Then again not even ALL of us get them either. Some just go with it from the start. So you may not have had any yet, but it may come in time.

Yeah, well, I've gotten to the point where I've started to think maybe I'm just destined to remain alone because I haven't had this "life changing experience" known as a crush that everyone keeps talking about.

Nah don't say that. No one is ever "destined" to be alone or really "destined" for anything. Sometimes it's rather by chance that you find that person in time or what is for your future. Yeah the fact that it may not show even the slightest sign right now can be really deetering, but that doesn't mean it's set in stone for you. Gotta keep hope and faith.

So, then, explain to me this. Why is it than guys don't show interest in me? I've tried asking my guys friends this and they usually come back with some perverted answer but I actually kind of want an honest one. I can only think of a few times guys have shone an interest in me, but it was never for a true relationship, they just either wanted me for a one night stand, they wanted me to do their homework for them, or they wanted money from me. Is it something I'm doing that causes them to not show an interest in me or is it some other factor that I'm not considering?

Yeeeeees, ohmygosh yes. Funny fact. Years ago, like back on PE2K when I had a crush on a guy WHO SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS while I was at work ALL DAY I had this crazy butterfly feeling in my stomach. Literally the entire day. I've never had anything like that ever before, or since then, but it was the weirdest and best feeling ever. Made me so giddy. XD

I may have a crush now, but I'm currently in my "denial" phase. xD Like you, Speedy, I go through thinking about the person, to possible dreams, to complete denial, to acceptance, to mostly getting over it cause I can't do anything about it lol. I get crushes easily enough, but dating someone and trying to make that feeling stay is another matter entirely...

Aw I wanna know who it was! XD

I get small crushes pretty easily I guess. But they're not deep things and they don't last long. If someone starts showing interest, I get bored and lose interest... I don't get crushes when I'm in a relationship though. And I would feel like it was kind of mean to my boyfriend and I'd probably be hurt if I knew he liked other people, but I am a pretty jealous person. @_@ For me to get a crush I have to think about the person and I usually have dreams too! Crushes are generated in my head so if I don't want one, I just don't think about that person and it's fine haha.

As for butterflies... not really with crushes, just people I love. :D
