Do you believe in love at first sight?

[GypsySorcerer]

It does sound like you made a connection, but from my experience, don't have too many expectations. Proceed, but proceed with caution.

No I don't. I believe you could be in lust at first sight. For me love is when you get to know the person. Their like, dislike. their hopes, their goals. You know really KNOWING the person. That's why I fell in love with my wife. I've known her since I was 3. I know the truly wonderful woman she is. I know everything about her and I adore every bit. But I didn't love her at first sight. I did not fall for her till I was 18. It was a slow process...very rewarding.

Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say I really don't think it's strong enough. No...

Woo! (rolls tongue while pushing my hair back)

You are posting through a vocoder, right?

I do, absolutely! I believe in love at first sight, and karma and reincarnation and 'soul mates', and that everything you do comes back to you and that everything happens for a reason. That's a lot, but they all go hand-in-hand.

That's a great story, by the way, the way you met each other.

Thanks. I'm a romantic at heart and still believe in fairytales.


Did I mention he is French?

Does he have an orgasmic French accent?

EXACTLY. To me, love is when you are brave enough to spend your entire life with a person you know, when the passion is gone. I believe that love is something that grows, to become huge. Any opportunity to start this kind of relationship must be taken, so go for it ! And stay positive. It didn't work out with your ex-boyfriend for a reason : if you were brave enough, he wasn't. Love doesn't happen many times in a lifetime. (Sorry, if i sound a bit naive).

I really like the way you put this, and I completely agree. Good luck, Curtis!

I love everything about this.

This thread is sweet. OP, this sounds like it could be a fun and exciting time for you, and I hope it continues and grows

Very well said.


You know, initially I was thinking "no way" to Curt's question. Then I started thinking about my relationship. I can actually remember the first time I saw my husband - I was 16, he was 18, I was dating a friend of his. We all hung out with the same group of friends on & off for a long time, and after about 3 years we were both single & started dating. Almost 17 years later, here we are. So maybe it's not total bullsh*t.
