Do you believe in love at first sight?

I don't believe in love at first sight, or soulmates, or any of that. Definitely proceed with caution. You just had a traumatic break-up and I think it might be coloring your perspective here. Generally, it's a really good idea to take some time (a lot of time) after a break-up and spend some time being (and enjoying) being single. But since you've met the guy and evidently had a connection, I think you should see how it pans out, but know that your emotions might be playing tricks on you.

Relationships are hard. Like HighPassion said, there's this idea out there that there's a perfect person for you, and if you just find him/her then life will be just like one of those sappy Meg Ryan movies. It doesn't work that way, at least not for long. You have to overlook a lot of sh!t, and you have to deal with the fact that you may not always like the person you're with. Many people can't do either of those things, and think when they stop having those warm, fuzzy feelings all the time, that it means the relationship is over. If anything, that's when it starts.
