Rookie Emi loves being in love. Now that spring is just around the corner, she remembers the wonderful time when she first fell in love with a classmate. She even signed up for the same course just so she could be close to him.

He made her totally nervous and threw her off her game: "I couldn't think straight." Every time he looked at her, she had to smile. "I couldn't stop and was grinning up to my ears." Watch the video to find out what happened next and whether he liked her too.

The Sexpert tip

This story is sure to bring back memories of falling in love for the first time - hopefully with a smile on most people's faces. Falling in love for the first time is something very special. But during puberty, it is also associated with a few pitfalls. During the teenage years, the brain undergoes a "slimming down" process. This process begins at the back of the head at around the age of eleven and continues from there to the front, ending at the frontal lobe at around the age of 20. This part is responsible for regulating attention, controlling impulses, planning and goal-oriented action. This is why the feeling of being in love is so intense at this time and why it is difficult to focus attention on other things or suppress certain impulses. This means that you forget important things because you are so in love, you can no longer concentrate and you are not aware of the possible consequences. This can be quite difficult. The nice thing is that in the future, like Emi, you will think back to this overwhelming feeling with a smile on your face. So enjoy spring to the full with love, butterflies and sunshine.
