I like the word smitten..... here's my take on that word, without looking it up: I'd say it's when an person is terribly attracted to another, when you're stricken by them and all that they do.

New Word: Chivalrous

Yes, very well put Miss Katz and I think it's such a cute and non-threatening word to use when telling someone your feelings without making the other person uncomfortable......

Courteous and gallant, especially toward women!

In Communication Studies, there's an interesting theory about Expectation Violations, which I think works perfectly for the word ....Stupify: which, in most cases, typically means that certain expectations held about any X, Y or Z type of situation, violates said held expectations, which leaves a person feeling stupified.

New word (my last today): Flux-capacitator
