Did he feel that electric charge?

Super cheesy and while I don't believe in supernatural stuff, I can't think of any other way to explain it.

There's a guy I cross paths with occasionally at work. I used to really fancy him but really worked on getting over it as I was fed up of the uncertainty and thought getting involved with colleagues was probably a bad idea anyway.

I hadn't thought about him for a while but we had such a nice chat today. Just as we were leaving one another, we gave each other this look and I suddenly felt this real rush through me. I was desperate to just lunge but I reached out to squeeze his arm and he sort of did the same even though it felt he wanted to do more. It's so hard to believe that he didn't feel this sort of electrical rush himself. I've experienced this sensation only a handful of times and in the past, it was always confirmed they felt the same. It's so hard to believe that such a charge exists which is only one sided. Have you ever experienced this?

It can be one sided yes, of course, and often is. And I’m glad you stopped yourself lunging at a colleague.

hopefully he likes you too. But you’re adrenaline and dopamine kicked in as you’ve a major crush. It doesn’t mean he feels the same back.

Gah! Delusional. I suspected so really.

That’s not what I said. But the way to know if he’s interested isn’t fantasising he felt the same rush of adrenaline and dopamine you did. He maybe interested, he may not be, but the electrical rush is only going to be something he feels if he also has a major crush on you and got that rush of adrenaline /dopamine by talking to you like you did. None of us can tell you if he’s feeling the same.

all we can say is simply as you’ve a major crush and react like that way doesn’t mean he feels the same or doesn’t. It’s not catching.

I’ve experienced this very recently. I’ve no idea about their feelings. However, I asked them out and they didn’t say yes. They also didn’t say no. It was a bit awkward but he was very polite about it…

Maybe try to talk to him more.

No. I think you can have that "lightning bolt" feeling simultaneously, but quite often it's one-sided.
