A little scared.

I wouldn't really advise reading this.

How do you know that you will love someone? I know it is normaly the other way around, but what if you can't feel love? Like you can feel every other possible emotion except sexual/romanic love?
Like you can feel fawning love. You can feel family love. Im sure that my journal a couple jounals back was REALLY wierd seeming but I wrote it for myself so that I could remeber the day (or alteast the day after the night ) when I first ever experenced those feelings. I thought wow. That is awesome. But now I find it scary. What if this is an abnormality? What if I never feel that way again?
I only found one person that I "liked" enough to make a huge deal over it and even then it was a fawning thing. Be near me. Talk to me. Even I want you to think of me. I still react when I am touched (in a good way). I never realized that you could actually want someone. I just thought that people picked out someone randomly, or just liked somoene passivly (as in sex was just whatever a good experence that you want) I never realized that you could actually really want someone. To make them feel good even if you don't. I knew it existed and thought that I knew what it was, but I guess not.

I can't say I can relate...

I've wanted something (a significant other), but never someone specifically.

I would normally advise that you don't put yourself too far out there for this person. Your emotional well being is, quite frankly, a lot more important to everyone here than theirs likely is. But it is your life, and your decision. And it seems you have a pretty supportive group of people to fall back on.

Good luck!

I think it's good that

I think it's good that you're feeling those feeilings (or maybe you aren't and I misread your journal) but like Dave said, you shouldn't put yourself too far out for someone that won't reciprocate. The thing about love is that it makes us feel sky high. And the higher they are, the harder they fall.

OH ok NOW I get what you are

OH ok NOW I get what you are saying! (sorry Just Dave!) I am probly not going to put myself out there too much. Also I have never felt desire in real life so i would probly just go into deer in the headlights mode.

its totally understandable

its totally understandable to be afraid of something you cant understand. its totally not bad to want to please someone. all of this is totally understandable and you should go with it.

Life is easily complicated.

Love...

Should be so easy to feel, so easy to know...

But I find more and more than I'm mistaken lately with what my heart wants. It's a painful, long road, isn't it?

Yes, when you find it and keep it and have it... it's a bit scary. It's new. But once you get your heart broken into bits and you walk away shaking and crying inside... It's a little harder to let yourself love again. I forget what it feels like, almost, to walk into a room and see the person I love and my heart flourishes.

I'm sorry, I made that comment all about me D:

I know what you mean. <3 but

I know what you mean. <3

but yeah, to answer fox, that's the kicker of this kind of love. Either you feel it or you don't. If it's there, you can't make it go away, and if it's not there after you've gotten to know someone, there's probably little point waiting around for it to show up. And when you realize you love someone, it's terrifying, but if they love you too it's the most beautiful thing you can't imagine before and, as dear draco said, can't really remember clearly afterward. Don't get me wrong. It's amazing. It's also spontaneous...so you can never know what lies ahead!
