Heartache

[cracked]

hey guys. i got a question. you know the feeling you get when you love someone, or at least think you do, and you want to be with them but they dont feel the same way? that feeling in your chest like someone is squeezing your heart as hard as they can. not exactly pain, but more like an emotional pain transformered to your physical body. well anyway, what causes that physically? what makes you feel that way as far as your body functions etc?

thanks

Neuropeptides in the brain. The shifting levels of these causes emotional responses that can create physiological responses from elation to the feeling that you are mentioning.

I think we've all been there at one point. I hope you are not there now. If you are, even though it may not seem like it, it will pass.

dave, i am definatly smack dab in the middle of it right now. theres this girl that i have known for about 1.5 months. she is the coolest girl i have ever met in my life. she is beautiful in every way. she knows more about computer software than i do and i know quite a bit. she webdesigns for $$ and she is only 17. she has her head on straight. no drugs, alcohol, sex, etc. she likes the same music that i do which is a first for me to meet someone like that. like i said, beautiful in every way. we have become great friends in the time we have known each other. i would like to take our friendship to the next level and start dating, but im not sure if she feels the same way or not. im having my doubts. i havent directly told her how i feel because we became such good friends so fast and i wouldnt want to tell her and her not want to date me and then mess uip our friendship. this has happened to me a few times in the past, telling a girl how i feel then things dont work out and its hard to be friends again. i would rather just be her friend and not date her than to take the risk and not be friends at all. but it is SO hard to hold back and keep everything bottled up inside.

whoa, when i started typing i didnt realize i was gonna write this much

Well, you do not want to wreck the friendship, so you must work up to getting past the just friends thing. I don't know if coming right out and telling her how you felt would have a good effect. It would probably scare her off, or at best make her on edge around you, thus damaging the friendship. If you could hint around in a way that you could deny your feelings if it became obvious that she did not feel the same way. I never had any stock way of approaching a girl or working these things out. I always tried to use my charm (sheyeah right!) to match the situation to find out how the woman felt. Whatever you do, take it slow. One quick and brash move could make her the coolest ex-friend you've ever had. And that hurts worse than having a secret love for a friend.

i know exactly what you mean dave. i have been doing the hinting around thing for a few weeks now and i figured by now i would find out which way she felt but i still cant tell to save my life. its just so confusing, but thanks for trying to help
