Can You Feel The Tingle?

Tingles are a magical thing. It's been a long time since I've felt them. Regardless, of where I am with my tingle situation, it's one of those feelings that we strive for. Let me be clear that I am not talking about your "cash and prizes" tingles, but rather the butterflies of excitement when you're seeing someone new (or maybe even the person you've been with for a long time).

The idea that someone else can make you feel so good about yourself when you're around them that they actually make you physically feel different. To me, that is an amazing thing. Now let me follow that up by saying there are people that can make you feel the physical opposite, but in the light that I would like to keep on this blog, I'm talking about the good kind.

Why do we feel them? Is it something scientific or something emotional? I watched a really great special on Discovery called Anatomy of Sex. It was the scientific breakdown of attraction and sex based on what we know from animal procreation and from our own natural animal instinct. It talks about why we are attracted to certain faces and body types, why we chose the people we do, and that the idea that "love at first sight" is really based on physical perception and responses.

What's your thought? You aren't attracted initially to someone because you think "oh, wow that person must be really nice and have a great personality."

Sure those things can make someone seem more attractive to you, but there has to be something physical there to begin with.

So maybe all those tingles we feel when we're with someone new, is just the physical way of your body saying, JACKPOT!!!
