Awesome. You just rubbed those words down to the nub and made reality something dreamy and technicolor. And now I’m off to appreciate the one I chose. Thanks for the perspective.

My God, you’re an amazing writer.

PS. Victor fell in love with me instantly. I thought he was a total freak and refused to tell him my last name or number.

I think it’s not only the person but the timing. I met my Fantastic Man a year before I could tolerate looking at him. And then, SNAP, I fell in love with him at a golf outing in about 3 hours after abhoring him for 12 months.

There are no rules in love.

To say I didn’t like Dad2Amara when I first met him would be an understatment.
But I do love him.

I was impatient too. And now everything seems to be going too fast.

It’s not a matter of “soulmates.” For me, it was finding the right jerk that would tolerate me

I L.O.V.E. this post. I believe in soulmates-but not just one for each person. I beleive that soulmates are people that come into your lives for a period of time that change you into something a bit better than when they arrived. They can be lovers, friends, or even family. I, too, wish I could jump forward or at least get a “trailer” of what’s to come. There are times when deep in my gut I know he’s out there and that the time between us not knowing & knowing each other will be shortened as to be the present moment. Other times, I feel as if it will never happen. Nonetheless, I remain hopeful with eyes wide open.

I was just talking the other day about how I wish I could fast forward and glance around at how everything is then, when your post popped up and it is pretty much how I was feeling! I just want to see a little of the future and then come back and be a little reassured. Or maybe I would be frightened. But I’d just like to KNOW a little. Give me a hint!

I met my husband at a fetish/bondage bar — how’s that for a story? — and I was 100 percent certain that he was not the one. Turns out he is the one, but I didn’t know that until several months into our relationship. She Likes Purple said it beautifully with : “It’s not about the first moment, it’s about the million moments that follow all strung together.’ Yes. Every day, yes.

I don’t belive in soul mates per se, but I do think you know. There’s something there when you meet them. When I met my ex, we were at a wine festival in Chicago with 1000 other people. But when I saw him it was like there was no one else around

I believe in soul mates but more in just the typical meaning of someones inner being conected with someone elses inner. Doesnt have to be in a romantic sense but this statement here….

“….A story that can be told with a smile on my face and knowing that even though things weren’t perfect in the beginning and sure as hell aren’t perfect now, that there is no one else I would rather do it all with….”

I think you hit the damn nail on the head. I cant think of a BETTER meaning of a soul mate. A partner. A lover. A friend.

Mr. Lady took the words right out of my mouth.
