I discovered some more about this feeling: it actually consists of 2 parts. Like I said before it is part excitement too. For me it consists of these to parts:
1. Excitement
2. Jealousy
1. Excitement
Being in love actually is kind of a thrill. It feels like you are about to board a roller-coaster. You don't know exactly what to expect. Also it is the same kind of feeling you have just before entering an exam. It's nervousness. Actually this part of the feeling is not that bad. But it still comes down to a subconscious fear. This fear comes from the thought that she is judging me! I am actually
afraid of her reaction. So in a way I am are still putting her on a pedestal.
2. Jealousy
This is actually the dark part of this feeling. It's also a kind of nervousness, or actually it is fear. Fear of loss. Fear of losing her to another guy. I get jealous because I think another guy might be better than me, i.e.
I am not good enough! So this also comes down to putting her on a pedestal, along with the other guy!
So... it's about time to put myself on a pedestal!
