This is correct! To have "butterflies in your stomach" is a lovely expression that describes feeling nervous, often just before you are going to do something frightening. Imagine all those little butterflies tickling your insides, it's enough to make me sneeze.
Is it?! Great! Let's move in together, get married and have eight children! Sorry, I'm a bit emotional. You are correct of course. "Love at first sight" describes a strong reaction for someone you've just met, it is a very rare phenomenon that usually occurs only once in your life, although I've had it three times already, and I'm only 12.
Oh dear! You don't really love me do you? To have "mixed feelings (about me)" is to have both positive and negative feelings about me. That's it, it's over between us!
Correct! It sounds like you're having a heart attack, but in fact when your "heart skips a beat" you are suddenly surprised, excited or frightened: I walked into the room and all the women's hearts skipped a beat. My heart beats at 122 beats per minute when I think of you, darling!
