Anyone else constantly daydream when in new relationship?

[superstarheartbreaker]

I've met a wonderful guy and we are now going out and I can't get anything done as I am constantly day dreaming! Ok I do get the essentials today but have only just stopped forgetting everything. Still having sleepless nights though...even when he isn't here and also rushing round like a loon. The constant grooming is another sign. Think I'm in love!

Yes! Constantly swoony, listening to music and daydreaming. Glad it's not just me!

Enjoy it, it doesn't last forever!

Me! I'm seeing someone knew and hes lovely. I have actually brightened up and people have noticed a change.

Music is constantly playing

New*

Yes me too, only had one date and am already hooked

Felt so right with him tho, not like other first dates where there is a strange awkwardness

Oh yes, at the beginning I couldn't think of anything else - he was on my mind 24/7. I was like a teenager in love.

Now we've been together about 8 months and have realized his farts stink, he can be a complete tosser at times and his obsession with various tv programs do my head in. He also hogs the bed, leaves his mucky socks on the floor and complains too much.

I still day dream about him. I guess it must be love.

Yes! I've been seeing a lovely guy for 3.5 months now and still get a goofy smile on my face when my phone pings with a text from him.

It's normal and down to hormones. Scientists have likened the chemical reaction in the brain at this stage of 'love' to temporary insanity. Make of that what you will...

When it wears off what you have left might be just as wonderful but less overwhelming. But it might just leave you thinking WTF did I see in him, so just make sure you don't make any rash promises and stock up on condoms.

I'm like that Sidge trouble is he hardly ever texts, he prefers to talk but as he's Irish it's hard to understand him

I've only been seeing this fella a month. I seem to have a constant smile on my face and get excited when he texts

Seems I have turned into a teenager

I think couples with that certain magic we like to call love can maintain the butterflies etc throughout their relationship Fascinating. I'm delighted it;s still going well for you. My parents sustained that for more than 25 years before the death of my DM.

However, I doubt very much that you are as distracted or overwhelmed now as you were in the initial throes. If you are then it can't have been that intense to start off with.

Many people who in love find it almost impossible to concentrate. If that continues over years rather than months, a child being seriously hurt or a serious mistake made at work is almost a certainty. You'd also die much younger or develop a chronic illness because of the adrenaline and cortisol flooding your body and the increase in your resting heart-rate, etc.

Dah So love will kill me?

I'm enjoying it too much to care

awww thats lovely OP

also, just wanted to say, it doesn't always completely die out, me and DH are still like that about eachother and its been 5 years

i will second stocking up on condoms though, as in mine and dh's first flush of lust we decided to ttc, and now our dd is nearly 4 !! it worked out for us but could have gone badly wrong!

SPsFanjo enjoy it!

I am really enjoying this stage of the relationship, I love the butterflies when I know I'm going to be seeing him, I love getting ready for dates, I love that whole "getting to know him" stage.

I know it's unsustainable in this way but hell it's fun now!

In a few months he will probably do my head in but for now in enjoying the giddy feeling

We are going to Peppa Pig world with the kids in 2 week and I think we are more excited then the kids

LOL at a hot date at Peppa Pig world! I'm not far from there, I'll come and spy on you

Ill be the one with the biggest smile on my face as 2 3 year olds run wild

He booked it as a surprise as I mentioned once how Id like to take my son there. And people wonder why I'm a smiley little shit face

They'll love it! Wrap up warm, it's quite exposed at Paulton's Park and you'll be standing around a lot. Take a picnic and flasks too.

I think it's lovely that he booked it, it's those little thoughtful things that make a difference

Its a 2 night stay so go Friday afternoon and back Sunday night. I'm counting in sleeps

hormonalhell you shall have to train him to text!!

Don't mind me. I think it's lovely, honestly I do. It's just that I find the science behind it all absolutely fascinating too.

Really, really pleased that in among all the doom and gloom on the Relationships board there are those who are floating along in happiness.

Another thing is that I cannot stop buying underwear! I love it and I hope it lasts. With my last relationship I shaved my legs so often I had to go to the doctors with shaving rash! I did see him every day though which is why it fizzled out so fast.

I've bought a load of underwear! I even make sure I match when meet up with him and I've never been bothered

agree with the shaving! I looked like a yeti before him!
