Describe the physical feeling of being in love, please?

Heh. It’s hard to describe. For me, no matter how bad the day is, when I see her, my body just becomes warm, and all the bad things that happened go away. Every time I see her smile, or hear her laugh makes the same thing happen. Especially when she laughs to my jokes. :) You know it’s love when you feel like that just with her. Like a bond that is unbreakable.

So, I guess that’s the way people feel when they’re in love. That’s the way I feel.

Love may start as a feeling, but it is sustained by decision.

It’s a sucker punch to the heart.

I’m not sure I actually experience a physical sensation of love anymore. I mean, I have experienced butterflies and all of that good stuff in the early stages of a relationship, but love is not a physical feeling as far as I can say, personally. My husband makes me feel secure, comfortable, complete. At this point I find it absolutely impossible to imagine my life without him. Every now and then I will catch a sad story in the news, or even in a movie, and the fleeting thought of losing him is so painful that I can’t even bear to think about it. I’m tearing up just writing that now. That is what love feels like to me… to be incapable of imagining life without someone. I have experienced that sort of radiating sensation from my chest like you described, I just don’t anymore. I don’t think it is any better or any worse, just different. For me, love feels like he is literally a part of me. My other half.

It’s an external glow that permeates through the universe!

I have trouble distinguishing between love and infatuation at times, much to my chagrin. I know I am happy when my husband comes in from work and that’s after almost 37 years, but it is more of a quiet glow now than in early years.

I still get butterflies when I see my husband after being apart for some time. My heart breaks when he has to go away. When we are together, I feel warm, safe, and secure. There are probably other words to describe the feeling, but I really can’t think of them at this moment.

Air escaping your lungs and an insatiable desire to re-fill them.
Needing/craving that “breath take away” experience.
It Super-seeding all other needs, wants and desires.

The last time I was in love my heart would skip a beat every time I saw her, not so much the beams of light thing but more to the fact that she’d be wearing the latest designer dress with accessories, courtesy of my credit card & to the detriment of my bank balance……. Sad to say my bank manager was one of the first people to know I was in a steady relationship again, we didn’t even socialise! :-/
Still, it was fun while it lasted……… ;-)

Your mind is impossible to focus, except on him or her. your heart actually aches to be with this person. they are on your mind 24/7. you visualize what your children will look like if you two have kids. you sometimes find yourself writing their name on places it should not be. if this person is far away, you will find yourself always attempting to find a way to get closer to them. you are happy and sad at the same time, if you two are not together.

An overwhelming warmth all over your body, a nervous-like feel in your stomach except that it has nothing to do with being nervous, more just feeling something so strongly in your brain that it affects the rest of your body. You know, that butterfly-y feeling, but in the best of ways and without any worry. Irregular heartbeat. lol.

To me it feels like I am being crushed – my heart, my lungs, but in a good way. I can’t catch my breathe no matter how hard I try. I get waves of strong feelings that wash over me and make me dizzy, give me knots in my tummy, make my heart fluttery, and sometimes give me vertigo.

For me it is like this: When I think about him, I find myself smiling and I feel happy, giggly and sort of warm all over. Just this lovely feeling of contentment. When I tell other people about him, I guess I get a little starry eyed, because they tell me I light up. When I’m about to see him, I still get the butterflies in my stomach and get a little nervous and excited. Then when I’m with him, it’s like being wrapped in a warm blanket. I feel happy and serene and as if all is well with the world. I can honestly say that my love for him continues to grow every day and I’m crazier about him after 7 years than I’ve ever been.

Hallucination (especially if you’re in love with someone who isn’t your boy/girlfriend) and increasing heart-beat. And I also feel warmer in my head.

A feeling of emptiness when you are not with them & butterflies in your stomach when you meet up again

In the beginning love is all pins and needles, physical desire and euphoria. After 9 years, love feels like home. When I wrap my arms around my wife my pulse slows, my breathing becomes deep and even, and my entire body relaxes, unless I start moving my hands, then…

Beautiful, tiny.

There’s a word in Danish (“hygge”) that sums up the feeling quite well “a deep sense of place & well-being; a feeling of friendship, warmth, contentment and peace with your immediate surroundings”.

Love is having found hygge with another person.

It’s when I look at him and feel warm and content. It’s how I can watch him sleeping and feel every drop of blood that pumps through my heart. It’s when I watch him playing with out kids and I feel so warm and so light that I could either need to laugh with the joy of it or sing. It’s how he looks at me sometimes and I feel shaky like when we first met and I was shaky and tingly with nerves and longing. It’s how I think about being 80 years old, and still holding his hand and patting his butt and I still feel the most incredible desire and so much warmth that I could almost swear I’m going into menopause very early. It’s feeling my heart stop and shatter when we have to be apart. It’s not caring whether we have sex every day, it’s the closeness of just holding each other in bed and feeling my whole body tingle and swell with emotion that there are no possible words to describe.

Frustrating, vexing, bewildering, euphoric, warm, frightening, comforting, peaceful, challenging, nerve-wracking, amazing, beautiful, surprising, confusing, forgiving, hopeful, refreshing.

@diavolobella nailed it. I’m jealous. I want that feeling again.

For me, it feels magnetic. It does feel like there’s a warmth emanating from my boyfriend that I am drawn to. When he is there, it’s familiarity, it’s closeness, it’s comfort, it’s warmth, it’s all of those things at once. I haven’t been with him for that long compared to many others, but I know that I do love him and I will continue to love him even if we separate.

@tinyfaery home is a really, really, really good way to describe it. and like you don’t need anything else.

When it’s new love with me then the feeling is euphoria but it then changes to calm, safety and contentment when the love is accepted as reciprocal and honored. I know for sure if we’re unsettled but then lie down together and snuggle against each other then we can sleep a lot easier than on our own or pissy and hugging to opposite side of the Cold Angry Bed.

A sense that you would sacrifice yourself, without any concern that you might be irrational or conflicted.

A feeling that every thing is perfect. Like a flutter in your stomach (no not a gassy feeling).
You get a warm feeling in your heart just being around the person.
I still get that feeling and I’m married.

It’s like having your finger pulled for a very long time.

@ChazMaz one, long awesome fart?

Yea baby!

Well, apart from limerence, I’ve never loved anyone to be honest, but extreme limerence can cause nausea, dizziness and fainting.

How romantic.

to really feel the love give her a sexy hump while kissing
