Infatuation

    Am I normal to still be infatuated with my bf of a year?
    I don't mean stalking him or anything, but I think about him a lot every day.
    I look forward to the days I see him, I'm filled with love for him everytime I think of him, so much so, it makes me smile.
    When I see him my whole face lights up.
    When he touches me I get goosepimples (in a good way)
    When we kiss I get butterflys.
    When we snog (God I hate that word), I can just about restrain myself from ripping the clothes off him.

    I'm not smothering him or anything, see him a few hours during the week & then at the weekends.

    Is it normal to still be this excited about someone a year into the relationship, or am I lucky, or sad/stupid????

    I'd say if you didnt get those feelings then you'd be best off out of there! Of course its normal!! If you are going out with someone that doesnt make you feel like this, what would be the point in going out with him?? Its a very strange post, and im kind of wondering why you are asking those questions at all??? :confused:

    Agreed, an odd post.

    Infatuation is a normal thing. Unfortunately it too often happens outside of a relationship. So at least in this case you're very lucky. Enjoy it. All you need to watch for is it turning into bitterness/clingyness. If you don't smother him (from his perspective cos yours is gonna be skewed) then it's all gravy!

    You should just thank yourself lucky he feels the same way. The worst thing in the world is when you are infatuated but they don't feel the same way.

    Absolutely - you are very lucky and enjoy it while it lasts. Once hes treating you right of course and it sounds like he is ;)

    I think after a year you can safely say its lurve :)

    Its a very strange post, and im kind of wondering why you are asking those questions at all??? :confused:

    Thanks everyone,
    That's what I was thinking.

    Why was I asking the question at all?
    I've been in two LONG term relationships before this, & I've never felt like this.
    In fact, I always had a gut feeling they weren't 'The One', whereas from day one of this relationship I've felt like he is 'The One'

    & I'm more & more sure with each day that passes.

    But, I guess the sceptic in me is just going 'it can't be this good, surely something's wrong', where it isn't.

    I do believe it's pure love, & not just the honeymoon period, but I guess I just wanted confirmation, or for ye to say cop on, it's to soon, or something like that.

    He's absolutely wonderful & we feel so lucky to have each other.

    We have our lives planned out together, site for our house, going through planning permission etc, & I'm just thinking 'this is too easy...'

    I've just never been so happy in all my life, & I'm just waiting for someone to pinch me & waken me from this dream.

    I guess I should stop waiting for my luck to run out, & just accept that I have struck it lucky.

    Thanks for all your replies

    You're right though, stop looking for something to go wrong with it because you seem to have a great relationship! good luck in the future!;)
