I have to say I have exactly the same problem, it is very much normal (well considering theres at least 2 of us

)
Christ I'm not even going out with the girl yet, I think about her 24/7, I can almost taste her presence when she's near, you catch my drift.
I also suffered the same 'heart stopping' pain when I found my plan won't work.
Love is a very complex emotion and comprises of many varied and sometimes unpleasant feelings. You will get attached and you will want to be with her all the time at first. Don't worry about it, enjoy yourself, you're 1 step ahead of me at least
