I would have to disagree with most of the people here. I'd actually be careful about labeling these feelings as love. What your feeling is most likely lust, since the relationship is still new.

True love is something you build on through honesty, trust, friendship and intimacy, but what your experiencing right now is lust. Lust is usually caused by increased levels of dopamine, PEA and lowered levels of cortizol. The fact that you don't recognize feelings, leads me to believe your fairly young (which is a good thing) and that you don't have any past point of references (experiences with these types of emotions caused by hormone fluctuation.)

You'll probably experience an intense bonding for at least 3 months and lusting can continue for 18 months. It's important to remember though, that not everyone moves onto the next stage of the relationship at the same speed, so don't freak out if your girlfriend has a sudden change of emotions. She probably still cares for you, but may need to spend more time with her friends/family/job. Some people can freak out and feel a sense of abandonment when this stage of lust occures. You just have to be prepared for it and you may experience it before your girlfriend.

Men tend to fall in love faster, but are slower to commit. We are very visual, which means we really can fall in love at first sight. Women however are very verbal and you need to maintain a strong level of communication to keep the relationship going. She's probably had more practice at this than you have. It's often been said that a woman's friendship is like a little marriage. So don't feel intimidated if you're all nurvous and unsure about what to do next and she appears to have all the answers. That's pretty normal. The truth is, this is new for her too and you just have to communicate all your concerns. So if you feel weird, just let her know, she'll like that.

It's ok to be weird. Infact, it's kinda sweet and endeering. Women tend to like it when they can make you feel all weird inside just by smiling at you. I mean that in a good way. :-) Just let her know you appreciate her, but be careful of coming off as clingy, which is tough during the lust stage of a relationship. There is a fine line between "oh god I love you and want to spend every waking moment with you" and "Oh God, stop telling me you love me. You're spending every waking moment with me." Just be honest and above else communicate.

Good Luck :-)

hey soul blade,

You are acting perfectly normally in your relationship. It is perfectly normal to want to hug and kiss your girlfriend. You obviously like her alot. You probably also want to hug and kiss her so much because you may feel insecure about your relationship without realising. You probably just want your girlfriend to know your relationship is serious.
