how fucking profound these words and you can read it so many ways.

I have been in love 3 times. I am 51 and my first love was in my 20s. It was crazy and out of control. My second broke my heart. I learned from both of these and even the ships passing in the night but this is so very different. There is love fueled by passion and we learn more about ourselves. Then there is a point where youre all grown up and love becomes a totality of your being. Could it be another lesson? Of course but the journey is always one that brings you deeper into loving yourself through the expression of another.

I have waited all my life to feel like this. Its not just a ship passing or a flight of fancy but my very best friend coming to sweep me off my feet. None of my lovers were really friends until now. No matter the transition, the destiny or final result, I know it was meant to be.

yes...I have known...
 

Do I believe in love at first sight...soul mates..Yes I do...
I can honestly say ..this has happened more then once with past partners..not that I have had many...lol. The first meeting of each other...the first touch ...the first kiss...the amazing chemistry....the longing of your next seeing of each other...then....the ultimate...the utter explosion of passion..animal lust..if you may..the uniting of two souls..and never feeling and being able to explain what you both have felt...
Will you ever feel this way again..yes....but on entirely different levels...
Enjoy each and every moment of love and passion...it is never ending...

did u ever just know?
 

yes, i know a lot, and often.

:smladybug: <3's :tiger:

I've "just known" a few times. Most of the time, it turned out I was wrong. I think we can connect with people on many levels, and it can be exhilarating. If there's such a thing as knowing someone from a prior life, that would be really intoxicating, too. But, who says that this means that the person would make a good partner? I think it's easy to confuse attraction, lust, or chemistry with true love. In my opinion, none of those is necessarily an indicator of a good long-term relationship.

I was very attracted to someone at our first contact, which was on line. We both expressed that it felt like we were "soulmates." I was over the moon. It turned out to be the darkest, most toxic relationship I ever had. I'm willing to believe that we are connected in some psychological or maybe even some psychic way. But, "psychotic" would more aptly describe it.

In my present relationship, we "just knew." But then, we lived the ups and downs of the relationship. It's great to connect with someone from the outset, and really feel that deep connection. But, in my opinon, you have to keep creating the love, romance, and respect in the relationship for it to continue to be the one you envisioned.

1. Yes, although we'd been talking for a while without first meeting each other in person. I'd never felt so confident and content in all my life.


2. Yes I have. It is a incredible experience. What's better is she felt it too.

3. Again this is a yes. And what's cool it is all for the same person.

uhhhh
 

yes yes yes yes yes ! :cheer:

read lynn's post.

sometimes its dead on and then sometimes its another one of life's lessons. its all a journey- the good and the bad

I knew it well :)
 

Those butterflies in the pit of my stomach were great! I miss that feeling... I want it again!

oh yes and still do

Oh! Thank you. This so resonates with my Mama heart. It was the same with me when my girl was born. She lay on my chest and looked right at me with these huge eyes. Skin to skin and eyes to eyes. It is one of my most cherished internal snapshots. We knew each other!!! Right there.

Thank you for sharing that.

Ah well i am romantic. i knew when i asked You what You wanted to do when You retire and You said "Save the world". :sparklyheart:

I was 16 and then it happened again later in life when someone took me by storm. I really believed that person was my life mate—the one who would kiss me goodbye for the last time. It wasn't the case which is something I never got over—as such I'm not sure I will ever open up to anyone again. As much as I would like to, I just can't muster trust.

Thud and a Dud
 

Yup. And I told her (2 years later) but bad timing, lack of mutual feeling or just plain old fear of her feelings on her part ... it didn't work out. Course, never say never ... but move move movin on. At least I recognized it and went for it. :)

Oh momma, yes I did, feels like about a hundred years ago.
 

For me, personally, when I get that leaping toward feeling in my chest, that whacked upside the head by cupid's cute little ass feeling, I have learned to RUN not walk away, it is a sure sign that their broken parts will line up with my broken parts and our gears and cogs of dysfunction will make a machine of mass destruction called a bad relationship.

The kinda love that works for me, that bodes well for a relationship and healthy loving long term interaction is a peacefulness, an ease of relating, a spark of desire and a bit of admiration tossed in for good measure.

For those who have unblemished hearts or souls (or whatever you want to call it), my congratulations to your swept away feelings, I am a little envious.

Yes
