What is this feeling? Is it love?

Question

Whenever I dance with him or am near him I have this happy warm feeling, it's hard to explain. I keep telling myself I'm over-reacting. We're pretty much the complete opposites and he tells me that we complete each other. I'm not ready for anything to happen, but I just wanted to know what these feelings that make me so happy were.

We're only in high school and we've become really close friends this year. He's admitted that he's liked me and even asked if I wanted to be with him, but I didn't think I was ready.

Answer 1

yes. that's called love

love is a very strange emotion
it causes pleasure and pain
completeness and emptiness.
it is a very raw emotion, one which cannot be controled.
...

I shall explain it to you as though love were a desease, though, if it were, it would be the nicest diesease in the world, because it makes people happy, and makes them feel whole.
symptoms of love:
a warm, fuzzy feeling all over the body...
wanting to be with the person.
being inexplicably happy when with the person.
I have more, but you've got it!

:D that's a good thing you know
------------------------------------------------------------

now as for you saying that you're completely different?
I don't believe that. everybody is the same in some ways, we all have emotions and the will to love and life, the will to better ourselves, that's what makes us human. so while you may be of different countries, languages relgions or races, it doesn't mean you're different.

everybody is the same inside.
we all have the same unalienable rights.
the right to love
the right to live
the right to shelter and protection
the right to better one's self

-------------------------------

now in love none of that matters either.
love is not a logic emotion. it is a basic, primal emotion, and is very important to the surivaval of the human species and therefor is absolutely present in every living human being.

who you love, should not decided by their race or their relegion.
it should not be decided by what they look like orhow much money they have
it should be decided by what kind of person they are inside.

what your problem is, is this:
you are afraid that your petty differences will prevent you from truly loving eachother.

utter nonsense.
no disrespect to your fears, or oppinions. it's just the way I see it.

you can't choose who you love, no more than you can shape the mountians, or part the waters. I say that love is the most devine emotion, and the most important emotion you will ever feel or have.

pay heed to it,
listen to your emotions and feelings,
otherwise you'll regret not delving into your emotions for the rest of your life,
you'll regret not forming a relationship with this person whom you seem to truly love for the rest of your life.
and so I say to you:
tell this person how you feel
tell them your fears and hopes
your dreams and your memories
tell them that you love them
cling to them and never let them go.
love is precious, not to be wasted.
it's more valuable than anything in the world.
it is the key to wholeness, and to happiness.
treasure it.

yes sometimes love can hurt you. but trust me,
if it's really love from both sides, you'll weather it through, and end up stronger for your troubles. you'll love eachother all the more.

love him back.

Answer 2

It's not love but it definitely sounds like lust. Love can sometimes lead to love so if it feels good then I think you should pursue it to its ultimate climax. Whatever happens happens and you will learn a valuable lesson from whatever that is.

Answer 3

Attraction..Could be love but it is most likely the early stages of a attraction. Follow your heart. Have fun.

Answer 4

Depends. How long have you been seeing this person?
