So to start off with, we're both 17, met at work a few months ago. Turns out she had a big crush on me, I had a minor one on her to start with, then it grew larger. We started flirting quite a bit, and about a month and a half ago we practically connected - everyone thought we were together, while we were not, yet.

So the past month and a half, we've been getting to know each other more and it keeps getting better! great!. Well, last Friday was the last time I saw her (We work at a Baseball park, so we practically work 1 week, off 1 week, etc.) I finally got her number (I didn't have a phone before, and I finally convinced myself to buy one).

Well, back to the story... this past week I haven't been able to get her off my mind, at all. I'm not controlling, she's always out having fun with her friends and such, and I'm totally fine with it. But I have NO idea why she's always on my mind. I'm not thinking anything naughty about her, I'm just thinking about HER.

We've been texting quite a bit all week, and her sending me a text is what makes my day


So my question is: Is this a normal thing to experience when starting a relationship? (This is practically my first relationship) Do I seem obsessed, controlling? Teen love :P?

Please, share your extra opinions. Keep the answers coming even if you think someone answered it already... every answer makes me feel better . You can be blunt, I can take a beating.

Thanks

Sure it's normal that's makes young love so special - just open your arms and embrace it - go with with flow. If you think you are getting too obsessed you probably are, so take a time out to go for a drive or out with your male friends or something to get you away. That will level your head and make it better when you are back together with her.

Yes, it's normal. It's infatuation.

Not sure why you'd want a beating, though.

You have a crush.

It's not uncommon to be fueled by hormones and projections at this age.

Awesome, I figured it was Infatuation... at least I knew that.

I'm pretty sure it isn't oneitis lol.

I don't really know if I'd consider it a crush anymore, we both know we like each other a lot - and her friends as well as co-workers are always calling me her boyfriend around her; and that doesn't seem to bother her. We've been trying to plan a date sometime soon.

That would be the next logical step.

Make it happen.

Young buck, you're in love and that's a good thing.

Be her friend first, someone she can trust, who will listen, and who will always be there for her. Above all, have fun.
