Limerance

What is Limerance?


1.

A floaty, manic, excited, feeling that often arises after meeting or spending time with someone who you are recently attracted to. Also, a fluttering heart, or butterflys in the stomach are symtoms of the feeling. It is similar to infatuation except that it lingers, is usually less lusty and does not have the same negative connotation. Also is usually a temporary state, unlike love. Often thoughts of the person are deep and engaging, resulting in day dreaming. The word was originally founded by a Psychologist in the 1970s

I was lost in Limerance thinking of the girl I had just had a date with.

I was limerant with happiness after finding out I was liked by my crush of 2 years.

See limerence, lust, infatuation, love
