I will start off with a personal story that plagues me every day.

You see, here at my dorm, we have a little informal club called the LNC (the late night crew). It consists of 4 chicks and 5 dudes (including myself), and we stay up till like 3 or 4 in the morning, getting shit faced, playing XBOX 360, and watching Adult Swim. It\'s a great setup, and it is perfect for social interaction with good friends. Until about a week ago, I had no problems with anyone there, until i started developing those common butterfly feelings for one of the chicks. Until that point, i was never nervous around her, considering she is a good friend of mine. Then it all changed. I started constantly questioning myself is i was saying the right things or looking the right way, contributing to an overall taboo feeling.

I am one to say that when 1 person feels nervous, the other person will feel nervous as well, ESPECIALLY with a member of the opp. sex.

So, i ask if anyone else has experienced things like this. Now, i cannot focus on anyone else but her when i am with the group. When i am alone, i feel the same way.

These females PLAGUE our thoughts distort our very selves. WHY?? I dont think that this is love, but i had no idea something so minor as ONE FEELING could change me this much.

WHY??? Why does this happen to us? It hurts and consumes us.
