Most girls would just think that it means you are physically attracted to them as well as emotionally.

 this is perfectly normal. boys your age go through the same things. my boyfriend gets an erection just from smelling my perfume. it makes him thinks of sex. don't worry it just means you're growing up into a regular, normal young man.

To answer the main question, no don't be worried at all it is a natural male reaction to someone you are obviously attracted to.

It is part of the phase between childhood and adulthood and it can sometimes be uncomfortable and even almost embarrassing but don't worry, it is normal. She will be suffering certain changes and adjustments within her own body too. Don't let it worry you. It is part of life, part of growing up and growing into adulthood. Take it slow and easy.Enjoy your youth and the dicovering of all the changes within your body! Life is interesting and it is preparing us with time, nothing happens suddenly and overnight. Enjoy the process of development.

Just explain to her that your mum asked you to fetch her a cucumber from the corner shop on the way home and as you didn't have a bag to put it in, it went into your pocket . . . .

You are a 14 year old boy.
I am assured by my husband that this happens to all guys your age.
She may be a little freaked out by it but just don't act on it and all will be well.
Good Luck!! xx
