| Feeling butterflies Posted: 5/13/2006 9:14:37 PM | We all want to feel the butterflies when we go on that first date. But has anyone ever felt the butteflies in their stomach just by chatting with someone online?
This has happened to me some time ago, during a conversation I was having with this woman I chatted with for 8 months, she mentioned feeling butterflies and I told her I felt them too everytime I saw her come online.
Anyways, was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else....and these forums need more happy threads lol | |

| Feeling butterflies Posted: 5/13/2006 9:24:48 PM | Oh yea.Big time.Happened to me today while talking to this really nice guy online.In fact I'm still talking to him and its still happening. | |
|
| Feeling butterflies Posted: 5/13/2006 10:02:44 PM | | Yes, it has happened to me a time or two. It is amazing the feelings you can get, when you haven't even really met the other person. | |
|
| |
| Feeling butterflies Posted: 5/13/2006 10:43:31 PM | Yes it happens. Sometimes we just relate to one another just right and it's a good connection heart wise.  | |
|
| |
| Feeling butterflies Posted: 5/14/2006 12:36:48 AM | yes! Its a great feeling when you feel such a connection. Sees so natural and time flies as you chat. The bad part is when you realize they are far away and you cant just meet up for a coffee or something. Still, its great to make that bond even if it will only be online. Although you never know if it might grow into something that can get past the distance! | |
|
| Feeling butterflies Posted: 5/14/2006 4:27:45 AM | Yep! Someone I'm talking to on here gives me that flutterby feeling, does she know it? Not yet but I'm working on it!
PS: No clues but do flutterbyes go bzzzzzzzz? | |

| Feeling butterflies Posted: 5/14/2006 4:48:52 AM | | Yikes I feel very jaded saying this but butterflies online with someone you never met isn't based on much. Oh yes I've had the butterflies but with some experience now I realize it is usually only short lived because without meeting them you aren't basing those feelings on anything other than talk/type. There is so much more to making a lasting relationship and people online can say and be whomever or whatever they want to be. Actually being with someone in real life, day in and day after, to see what they are really like in the morning, at night, in a good mood, bad mood...I don't mean to be the damper on this thread, I was just throwing a little realism into it. Do enjoy the butterflies, just know the realities. Have a wonderful day. | |

| Feeling butterflies Posted: 2/3/2009 10:11:13 PM | | I don't know about the butterfly effect but I have felt light headed before when talking to the right gal. I used to get butterflies when being around certain ladies but that was a long time ago. I've since lost that feeling and am trying to get it back. It's hard :( | |
|
| Feeling butterflies Posted: 2/3/2009 10:27:50 PM | I've never felt butterflies.
Unless you mean just the feeling of being excited at the prospect of someone? Because that happens all the time!
I will say that I think feeling butterflies on the first few dates or something is a poor way to assess how well a relationship would turn out in the long run. | |
|
| Feeling butterflies Posted: 2/4/2009 2:19:00 AM | I met my SO here. We chatted for a while and we each slowly started feeling those "butterflies", even before we actually met. Scared the bejeepers out of both of us.
But here we are now, six months later, and I still feel the butterflies.....when I talk to him, when I chat with him, when I think about him, when I see him, when he touches me, when he kisses me....
Gotta love those butterflies  | |

| Feeling butterflies Posted: 2/4/2009 7:10:07 AM | I met my guy here also. Initially I thought of him as a friend. What a great way to start out, IMO. When he was online, pre-dating, I would smile for I knew that a good verbal volley was in store for the day. NOW.... since I have begun dating him, and we cannot forget THAT KISS, well, I have to admit that , yes, I do get butterflies. I can view his photo when I see he is online and start to feel a slight fluttering....

| Feeling butterflies Posted: 2/4/2009 7:22:40 AM | | Not to rain on a parade, but yes, once. And he turned out to be the biggest jacka** on the face of the planet. Hmmmm butterflies, God I miss that feeling. | |
|
| Feeling butterflies Posted: 2/4/2009 7:46:35 AM | | Oh yes I have felt butterflies in my tummy before now. It really is a special kind of feeling, a nice one.... | |
|
| Feeling butterflies Posted: 2/4/2009 8:53:08 AM | Wow Pinciperro! That is like so similar to my experience on here. I did and do feel the same with my experience. I hope this guy knows how lucky he is! Maybe one day you will both be in the "success" stories! And "the KISS" did me in too as you stated with yours. So much can be forseen by a kiss  | |
|
| Feeling butterflies Posted: 2/4/2009 9:29:47 AM | | Getting butterflies while talking to someone you may think is special is a good thing. Since this is a dating site, words are the first communication here. If you can click with words and ideas, then when you meet, there is a good chance there will be some chemistry. | |

| Feeling butterflies Posted: 2/4/2009 10:50:31 AM | Nah. it's all bio-chemical The neurotransmitter phenylethylamine is responsible for feelings of lust and infatuation. The effect of it eventually wears off because we develop a tolerance to it, a kind of neurotransmitter burnout. That's when people say "I thought he was my soul mate but I guess not" or "I love you but I'm not in love with you"

| Feeling butterflies Posted: 2/4/2009 2:53:31 PM | | You chatted with a woman online for eight months? I certainly hope that you two actually met each other. That's when the butterflies might start flying around. | |
|
| Feeling butterflies Posted: 2/4/2009 2:56:48 PM | | yeah. frick i feel the right loser now. nerdy mcnerd anyone? | |
|
| Feeling butterflies Posted: 2/4/2009 3:25:19 PM | Yep I too have felt the "online butterflies".
Sometimes upon meeting the person the butterflies continued (sweet) other times, upon meeting the butterflies just thudded to bottom of stomach as there was absolutely nothing to go on in person!

| Feeling butterflies Posted: 2/4/2009 4:15:58 PM | | If I remember correctly, butterflies in the stomach is caused by a release of adreneline into said organ. Sort of "fight or flight" misdirected. Anyway, to feel it before confirming the person is worthy of it...sorry, but that's just another case of being in love with being in love. You've met what seems to be on the surface a perfect fit for you, long before you see all the rough edges and decided whether or not to overlook them. So, you get giddy over what looks good, rather than over what is there. | |

But has anyone ever felt the butteflies in their stomach just by chatting with someone online?
Yes. And I was always disappointed when I didn't feel them in real life. If I'm feeling them online or through text, I take that to mean I've set my expectations too high, and I try to step back until we actually meet. Nothing worse than expecting chemistry and ending up with dead air! | |
|
| Feeling butterflies Posted: 2/8/2009 9:36:29 AM | Yeah....butterflies when you're online with them....then, meet them and all the butterflies flew away
Was sad moment | |
