For the first time of my life, I'm dating someone - and he's just amazing, I REALLY am lucky to have such a person in my life. Feeling's are mutual from the start, even though we're still in the phase of dating, not yet kissing or being a couple officially. Because neither of us had a relationship before, everybody else expects us to become a couple although we're not trying to feel pressured; we really take things slow. I'd really like to be his girlfriend but I have a problem: When we chat via instant messenger daily, I'm really happy. It's the same thing with writing sms or talking/thinking about him, I feel excited and happy. But when we actually meet, I just can't feel the excitement. Sure, I'm happy, I feel good and I enjoy being with him, but I'm not feeling butterflies in my stomach, my heart's not beating faster or anything (and I really know how that kind of affection feels, even though I never dated before. I had a crush on a guy for about half a year and I absolutely felt excited about him). So - how can that be? My date is far better than my former crush and we really spend a lot of time together, I want to be excited about him so badly... Telling from your own experience, do you think I'm just not attracted enough or do you think the feeling will develop (we've only been dating for the last month - which sounds like a rather short time but we really see each other very often)?
