It's interesting.......Your heart skips a beat and you go all weird inside....can't sleep...always preying on your mind etc....

However, according to Buddhists, those are [i]exactly [/i] the same feelings you get from anxiety! What they say is to find someone that makes you feel at home, safe and secure....that is what love feels like....

What do we all think?

@SammyJo That's a very good point, as I think that love does create a kind of anxiety, an uncertainty and even fear; fear of loss, even fear of our emotions.
