The birds were singing, the sky was a brilliant blue and the clouds just seemed to lazily float on by...
Whoa! Reality check: the crows were squawking; the sky was smoggy, brown, and polluted and only a single dark gloomy mist seemed to hang around...
Ever notice how having a new crush on someone changes your point of view? Those butterflies in your stomach. Subconsciously wondering where he is and what he's doing at all times (wow, that's not creepy at all...). Catching yourself looking for him when you know he's nearby. Going out of your way during passing time, in hopes of catching a glimpse. Not completely paying attention to your friend's recent boyfriend crisis because he's somewhere in your vicinity. And lastly, the euphoria that follows when he smiles at you, asks to borrow your pen in calculus, or gives you some cheesy compliment.
Ah, to be young and in love/like.Have you ever experienced crush euphoria? What was it like for you?

Whenever I see my crush, I literally hyperventilate. And everything else simply starts to be wonderful after I've seen him.
I don't think I've ever experienced this.
Haha this makes me think back to when I first started crushing on my now boyfriend of a year and a half. Man, had I fallen hard for him. I think for me it was about finding the perfect thing to say to make him laugh, and finding little ways of flirting when we were in groups of people that wouldn't be too obvious. I write poetry, and let me tell you, many of them were dedicated to him back at that time.
Crushing is so amazing. That young nervousness, and the way you do and say things you might not normally, and that feeling you get all the way to the pit of your stomach when your crush looks at you with those big blue eyes and smiles...mmmm. Crushing is especially wondeful if there are arms to catch you. If they don't like you back it can end poorly though :(
It's okay...
Yes. It even happens to me, when I see someone I liked in the past. I mean happily in a 2 year relationship, seeing my first serious boyfriend still sends me into that kind of shock type state. Not the I want him type of thing, just the butterflies. Not many things send me into the hyperventilating type of happiness, but it happens. =] Best feeling in the world.
Ha, it sounds familiar to me! Ouuch, the feeling when I get when he's looking back..
ahah i like this.
Sometimes I still get that feeling when my hubby walks into a room. Especially if he's wearing my favorite cologne or shirt. My heart skips a beat and my head spins. :)
Makes me wish I knew how to flirt and that I wasn't so socially behindert, blaah.
@spiritofiris@xanga - Aww!! I bet loads of people wish they could still have that. :3 I~ hope I have that when I'm married.
My first uber huge crush was pretty amazing and terrible. But whenever I talked to him in the halls passing by I'd get the shakes and butterflies and was unable to open my locker without a few good tries. I was so smitten, and when I think back on it now I could have had a chance. STILL could have a chance I think, if I didn't live 3.000 miles away. hahaha
but I would re-route my way to class to pass him. Made sure I left early or late to see him. Hun out after school to stare and hopes of a conversation. And definitely got in a good mood after every conversation or hug. oh yeah. the joys of being young and hormonal.

Yeah, but mine has lasted almost 2 decades. Loving her made me who I am today, with no doubt in my mind. Everything after that has since altered my original purest perception of the world. What it's like to be young and naive :)
Ah .. back in middle school, this is EXACTLY what I felt like. I've lost a lot of the euphoria now that I'm a few years older, but I still get those butterflies in my stomach whenever I pass a guy I like. :)
it's the uneasiness inside you that gets you giddy. Some ppl think it's a great feeling, but I hate it! haha.
..and those times you spent secretly waiting for him in hopes he'll glance your way or pass you by.
It's a wonderful feeling yet pure torture!
oh, how i've known this all too well.... boy crazy, anyone?
The last time I remember feeling like that was when I was like 12. Kinda sad, it's a nice feeling, but now if I start to have a crush on a guy I tell him right away to see if it's a waste or time or not.
@MusingsOfAnAlmostSocio@xanga - 2 decades is older than I.
@sorjai@xanga - i TOTALLY AGREE..
I think it's a great feeling when they're THERE..but they're not..uhm, it drives me insane.
@immaairheadxl@xanga - haha I guess guys and girls are different. Girls love the uncertainty, but I certainly don't. I usually like to know what's going to happen. Then again, I usually plan things and make it happen, so things usually go according to plan :).
I felt like that when I was in high school and had a very serious crush on this guy who was a year older. I would always see him in the halls in between classes.. so the anticipation of seeing him made me have butterflies and I would get really nervous to the point where my palms would get sweaty. Whenever he waved hi or talked to me, I'd blush like crazy.
Sigh, I can't wait to meet someone who'll give me that feeling again.
Oh, I have had one of those. Its nice in the beggining but believe me, they wouldn't call them a crush if it diddn't hurt. That type of a crush is like a driver hitting a blindman.
Aww I haven't had a crush in such a loong time..I remember what that was like though... made you wanna look cute for school everyday.
Honestly, I think the crush-euphoria thing is the best thing in the world. Haha. But then again, I've never experienced true love or anything even remotely close to that soooooo.....I can't say.
Seeing that special "boy of the week" completely made my days. HAHA!
I don't get "crush euphoria". I get "crush dysphoria". It's more like, "Oh, no. Here I go again, crushing after someone who'll never be interested in me."
My fourth boyfriend was like this.
I called it obsession.
I like my current boyfriend (fifth) because I love him a lot more than my ex, but I'm over the obsessive stage in my high school love life.
I can go on for hours about how horrible obsession is in relationships; but I won't waste your time here.
Ohhh yes. It was like dancing on rooftops, playing with puppies and kittens, and knitting rainbow blankets. IT WAS HORRIBLE. He actually showed some interest in me, and oooh boy, the day we looked into each other's eyes... that sent the inner-maniac in me, WILD. But then, he stopped caring COMPLETELY. He would still give me those occasional smiles or stares, but meh, by that time, I was fed up with him. I am so glad I don't feel the same about him anymore.
