Why don't I get butterflies in my stomach that often?

    I don't get that many crushes in general. When I do get crushes I normally just try to make friends with them or look at them from afar. Does this mean I'm not getting crushes?

    The butterflies in your stomach can be many things, not necessarily associated with those you wish to peruse a romantic relationship with, think about being in one and how do you feel?

    Perhaps, you're not attracted to these particular people if your intention is only to be their friend. However, sometimes friendships can grow into a more romantic relationship, but there's needs to be an attraction there. I usually know right off the bat if I'm attracted to someone. Same thing with crushing on someone; to me, it feels like an enduring need of wanting to be around that person. Physical symptoms include: blushing, smiling, feeling nervous in their presence, dry throat, fast heartbeat and sweating :grin:

    If you ever experience 2 or more of the above symptoms, it is safe to say that you are probably attracted to that person.

    when you can't stop thinking about someone.. when they make your tongue tied.. when they give you butterflies.. that IMO is a crush!

    I do want a relationship with these people, I just feel too nervous to persue anything beyond a friendship. I often think about that person constantly and I often talk too much about that person. I often find every little thing about them fascinating. I often feel super happy when I get to see them. If I have a class with them I feel disappointed if they aren't present. I often want to spend time alone with them, but I feel annoyed if they pay more attention to other people. I just don't get butterflies.

    Why does everyone forget the warm fuzzy feeling on the inside? Or does that not count as part of attraction? :frowning2:
