Right, I'm 16 and I feel something for someone older and unreachable (for now ).

I've just watched a question related to this so called feeling, and it said "7 months ago". Now, I've had almost a girlfriend, she was great and beautiful and I genuinely (I knew her all my life) and she offended me one day and well, let's say a very bad relationship ending. I needed 7 months to get over that classmate.

Now I have this feeling for someone that I don't really know, but I just feel something for her. Her voice makes me happy, also she has something, I don't know what that makes me "love her". Here is how the things work in my mind when it comes to girls.

Girls in general (all girls), good looking girls/divide/girls that attract me/divide/girls that have that something that makes me crazy about them. This thing. It was present at my classmate, but not like this, and the filling was nowhere near like this.

I know it's confusing because I'm confused as well, but what is this feeling also, how can I find out what is this "thing" that makes me "love" a girl so much? She's 27 and I'm 16.

I know that a relationship is not going to be possible, but I don't understand why from many good hearted girls and good looking girls only few that have this "thing" are making me fall for them so much.

Its normal to have all kinds of feelings for other humans, especially girls my young friend. ALL of them. Some are more intense than others, and some will fade faster than others. Your crush on a 27 year old female is also normal, but she is not a girl, she is a mature woman, and while she brings out some intense feelings, you don't always have to act on them. Nor allow them to foolishly step over the boundaries of good behavior.

Right now its hard to understand or describe these feelings which are normal, and it really doesn't;t matter if it feels like love, or a crush, and until you can know what they really are, call it an attraction, and never assume because you have strong intense feelings, that the object of those feelings has the same ones.

Its more important to manage your feelings in positive ways though, and don't let them manage you.

The problem is that I don't know what is this "thing" that thease two girls have in common that makes me go crazy about them .

Wait until you get out in the world, and find MANY females have that thing, LOL!

It has more to do with YOU, and what you like best, more than them and what they have. Half the fun my young friend, is discovering what that thing is. Within boundaries of good behavior of course. But I know its like a magnet to you, and that's what happens with us all.

Woman have the same thing going toward us to, I have to add. In no way think you are the only one confused by these powerful, intense attractions. Some are visible, like hair, or a nose, or eyes, but over time we start to identify what our turn ons are, and the ever mysterious chemistry, that happens between people.

I think you are discovering what you like about others, and your turn ons, but can only see the people you are turned on to at this point. More will be revealed, so be patient, because it's a process you are going through, we all do, that leads us to more maturity, and understanding.

Just be careful of assuming you know what your intense feelings are though, because what you think is "love', because its so strong, it may be 'lust', which is just as strong, but fades later, but can last long enough to fool you. Some crushes can be strong, but temporary, and they (love/lust/crush/liking), can be felt for many and any at a given time. Sometimes all it takes is seeing someone often enough, be it close, or far away to trigger those feelings and the mind does the rest.

I think you will find that many of us start thinking one way, and end up thinking completely the opposite later. So lets just say that growing pains are complicated, and the bottom line is understanding and dealing with yourself.

AT 16, often we find that just thinking about a girl makes them hot to us in our mind,

After that at 16 your hormones take over. In fact just them being a girl is all it takes.

Relax, date girls your age that you can date, does not have to be love, just date, enjoy and wait for love to come latter
