.....what was your first thought when meeting your future husband/wife?

...and I feel like I'm naked in front of a crowd,
'cause these words are my diary screaming out loud,
and I know that you'll use them however you want to...
I guess the reason I'm asking is because I believe I have this overly-romanticized fantasy of hearing harps and violins or the clouds parting when I finally meet "the one." I know this is irrational, and worries me that I might have already met several guys who could have been "the one" but didn't consider the possibility at the time because I didn't feel something powerful right from the get go...
So were your thoughts is like "CAPOW!" or is it like "hmmm...?" ??
Damn.. it sure is going to feel good divorcing you one day !!
when I was happily married and I had just meet my future wife I remember thinking.. Damn.. she is hot and what a smile..
but I didn't know she would be my wife until a good bit later on.

I knew my H before he and I got together. We weren't "into" eachother at all like that...We'd say hi once in a while but nothing out of the ordinary. Then, one day it just HIT me like a ton of bricks....So, it is possible that you are missing out on opportunities by waiting for the fireworks to hit you first.
Remember, anyone you meet that you like can have potiental to grow into something very serious, and long lasting.....
I remember looking at his gorgeous blue eyes and telling him, "if you ever want to make babies, I'll help." He swears he doesn't remember me saying that, but then again, he was sloshed out of his gourd.
lol, when I met my SiL for the first time in November, one of the first things out of her mouth was "I fell in love with Bob's beautiful blue eyes" – guess it must be a family trait among the men!

Although I've likely missed out on some AWESOME guys, I'm hoping this is true.
I've been spending time with a friend who is amazing in every way, shape and form. I've known him for over ten years, but we weren't really ever friends until recently - similar to what you describe. We've hung out a few times just having some drinks or in a group setting - pool, bowling, something like that. No "dates." However, his friends have told me he is very much interested in pursuing something with me, which I believe because he has slowly intensified his flirting. I find myself WANTING to like him, like like-him-like-him, but I'm not quite there yet. But I am very interested...
I haven't really had the "ton of bricks" feeling, but I feel it coming on... We email a lot during the workday (just joking around, shooting the ****, etc.), and every once and a while one of his messages makes me blush, or feel tingly or something. I find myself constantly checking my inbox hoping to find a little note or something....

an ex's mom described it as "a sure feeling," and she was right. Something about that person just feels "right," as trite as that sounds.
I was happily married for 20 years, so let me enter the discussion. I was initially struck by how attractive (in every sense) my wife was. I also felt "right" with her. I believed we complemented each other very nicely. See, Plato's "Symposium".
Although I don't remember orchestration, in a short while I emotionally understood that she was going to be the "one". (Actually, each person probably has about 150,000 "ones" but that's another Thread).
The love was not instantaneous, but the basic attraction was.
Best of luck with your friend. One more thing: My wife and I were very good friends before our relationship morphed to the next level. And even though we're divorced, I do not regret our decision to marry. (She might have some regrets, however.)

Give me your email address and I can hook you up throughout the day
