I believe he totally believes everything he says, which makes his barbs charming and genuine instead of reading like some asshole who's just stirring the pot.

I agree. He's probably in my top 5 of org posts I don't want to miss.

I believe in lust and attraction at first sight.

But love takes time to nurture and grow.

I do not believe in the idea of "soulmates". I don't believe in fate or destiny, either. Lasting relationships take work, not cosmic energy.

Anyway, back to true love:

The moment I met my darling Christopher I had warm, sweet feelings that never went away. Within hours of laying eyes on each other, we were dancing close and smiling stupidly. That night we slept on separate couches in the living room of a Florida condo, holding hands across the space between as we fell asleep. We awoke in the morning feeling like something big and new had happened to us.

I had to fly back to Boston that day, but from then on we didn't go a day without speaking to each other. We mailed each other love letters, pictures and gifts every week. Within a year I and my children moved 1,300 miles to move in with him and his children.

We're now married and living a modern-day Brady Bunch existence with our four children. Life isn't always easy, especially with six mouths to feed in this economy, not to mention the stress of raising teenagers. But we never allow that stress to undermine the iron-clad love and respect we share. We make each other laugh, challenge each other to grow, and know each other better than anyone else. He gives my daughters the fathering they never had, and I provide love, support and home cooking his kids have never known from their crazy biological mother. I'm more in love with him every day.

It's work.

It's mutual respect, it's constantly remembering the other person's feelings, it's both people always operating as a team and not enemies or single entities looking out for their own needs. Love is the undercurrent that makes you want to put in the work, of course. The work won't work without love. But the reverse is also true, and it's the part everyone seems to forget.

Soulmates: Yes, I believe in them. Yet I don't believe in there being just one, but many -- with only some of whom you might share a romantic/sexual attraction; with only some of whom you might even get along. (That is, I think even enemies can be soulmates of a sort.)

Love at first sight: Attraction at first sight? Yes. Romantic love, however, is nurtured, I think.

I do think there's a broader dispositional kinda love that we might come to readily afford to all people... even sight unseen. But I reckon that ain't what you're hitting at here. smile

I believe we have several soulmates, and a fraction of those involve sexual feelings towards each other.


I consider many of my closest friends soulmates. Hell, I have soulmates I'e met here on the org.


But if the specific context of "the one perfect person" for you, I don't really believe that--I believe there are many...perhaps thousands of 'perfect' people for you. And I believe that sometimes you have the perfect person but the timing is just not right---it's a crap shoot, but I'm starting to see it as quite beautiful. lol


i totally agree with this. nod

for me, attraction only intensifies once i get to know someone's personality- i used to see the guy i'm currently seeing on a daily basis and never thought of him beyond "oh, he's cute", and now i can't even look at him without my pulse going crazy. lol

Co-sign. There are so many people out there!
I married a man from my hometown and i'm sure I could find a man to marry in every town on this planet. (I don't want to, but you know what I mean...)



hmmm Or maybe i'm just too easy lol

Don't "wait"; get looking! And while you're looking, you will find that actually you're compatible with more than just (The) One.


I have like a description of him in my head...it's pretty sad really. His body type, height, back ground, clothing style, hair color, facial features. His personality...no wonder I'm single. sad

Yep - one person can't do it for both.

I tried for years in a past relationship. You need both people with a common vision, or you'll just be beating your head against the same wall forever.
