When kilig, one may experience the following:

*butterflies in one's stomach
*heart melting
*shivers down one's spine
*irrepressible noises from one's mouth
*uncontrollable smiling
*an inner conflict between hope of something wished for and reality

Kilig may also be defined as that mountain top, floating, on cloud nine, invincible, i-could-keep-smiling, heart aching goodness and feeling which overpowers the mind's ability to think straight, act straight, breathe properly and articulate thoughts into a single comprehensible sentence.

A great friend. Very attractive. Silly and outgoing. Never lose your Maytal, your Maytal is super important! Never hurt her feelings, she will be annoyed for a little while. Make it up to her with a night out!! She loves being with her friends and loves to dance. She will want nothing more than a good friendship with someone.

If you are pursuing a Maytal, don’t be super extravagant. Just give a simple little something and she will be happy. Small dates with someone will make her day.

Don’t worry, Maytal’s here!
