He is excited and scared.

The girl is constantly in his thoughts throughout the day and into the night.

He has already had dreams about her.

All of this is as exhilarating to him as it is fear-inducing.

He is exhilarated by the enormous surge of energy he experiences whenever he thinks about the girl he has feelings for.

Such energy makes him operate on a high.

A spunk everyday people don’t experience during the course of their day.

Metaphorically, he is elevated, gliding and floating.

The energy level is so potent, his appetite for food isn’t as present as it used to be.

After all, the girl he has feelings for provides all of the energy he requires, making the consumption of food somewhat redundant at times.

As far as he is concerned, he is as powerful as a superhero in these moments.

That said, this exhilaration eventually gives way to fear.

A fear about what these feelings mean and an uncertainty of how to process them.

In his head, he is fearful that the girl he has feelings for doesn’t feel the same way about him.

He worries that you have no idea about what he is going through.

Which portends you aren’t experiencing the same emotions.

In addition to this, he is fearful about whether he should reveal these feelings to you.

If he were to tell you, would you think him premature in how quickly these feelings have emerged within him?

His head is filled with fearful thoughts about the possibility of losing you if he were to draw this conclusion upon learning of his feelings for you.

He doesn’t want to come off as too hungry or desperate to fall in love or for you to fall in love with him.

The fear his feelings are too premature and that you aren’t feeling the same emotions is just as potent as the superhero-like exhilaration he experiences from these feelings.

What goes on in his head is a mixture of these contradictions.

If he has never had feelings like this for a girl before, he is that much more unsure of how to handle them.

He has no history of reference.

Instead, he is completely fresh and inexperienced in how to go about handling these feelings.

With this much uncertainty, his head wonders about the possibility of a rescue.

A rescue from you.

He is hoping that you start showing him stronger signs that indicate that your own feelings for him are deepening too.

To this end, he pays particular attention to every conversation he has with you to glean whether there are clues to indicate whether you are experiencing the same feelings.

He does the same with your behavior whenever you are around him.

Any act that seems a little extra is suddenly examined and processed in his head.

Was that a sign her feelings for me have deepened?

All of this aside, he would much prefer a verbal confirmation that your feelings for him are mutual.

A verbal confirmation frees his mind from fear.
