I think i'm lovesick!

Post Reply New Topic

I have been feeling like this for approx 9 weeks, I have known this guy for 8 months and he is all I think about, I have almost no appetite and can barely sleep, he is all I think about. I feel overwhelmed with emotion and can't concentrate on anything. He has high functioning autism and I have aspergers, but i'm terrified of talking to him, I don't want him not to like me.

Will these feelings go away? What should I do?

I am very confused as I have never felt this way before

Every day you waste is just driving you nuts you have to get on with your life. I am in the same boat and I can tell you from experience at 3years it isn't going to stop.

I am lovesick at the moment too. I can't even talk to the guy about it though he is a good friend because he is engaged to my best friend to be married in 4 months. I shouldn't be falling for him.

I hope you can muster the courage to go and talk to the guy you have a crush on..

Are there any signs he might like you too? If you really like him, you should try to talk to him (not about being in love with him of course) give it a try, who knows

I know the feeling, It is a great feeling but at the same time you know its bad for you. It sucks.

Get your sexiest kit on and go for it.

There is only want very small problem. He is quite a bit older than me

This probably sounds unromantic, but 'love sickness' is actually an influx of Seratonnin (a chemical that's a neural transmitter aka, the 'feel good' chemical) within your mind. It's the part that causes you to think constantly of this fellow and studies show that Seratonnin is the chemical component of OCD and the repetitive behaviors of people with AS, hence, your repetitive thoughts. However, a chemical called 'Oxytocin' is responsible for feelings of trust and longevity. I've been where you've been, 'love-sick' as it were. I can tell you, that such irrational things often lead to destruction. Heh, they sure lead to mine. My advice? Start slow. Nothing good comes of anything if you rush it. Solid relationships take time to build, to let the Oxytocin sink in. Get to know him first, and THEN decide if you like him or not. Also, watch out for signs that he likes you back. Nothing good comes of requitted feelings. Trust me, I've been there too. Many times. It's not pretty, especially when heart-breaks short-circuit the Aspie mind. In any regard, good luck.

unrequitted* Sorry, spelling error -.-

OP I would tell the guy what you are feeling. If it was meant to be it will happen. You being the female partner, puts you in a position for it to be acceptable for you to confess your feelings. He may be a little initimidated at first, reassure him there is no need to be.
