Hi all. I'm a 55 yr old man. Veteran of the dating scene, bars, online dating, etc. and so on. Was married once for 10 years been divorced 5.

 

Okay, right to it. I have met a woman and I believe I am in love with her. I have never felt this way before and I am 55. First that throws me. I think of her all the time, think she is the most beautiful, fun, woman I have ever met. we complete each others sentences. She is a bit goofy at times but so am I. She is smart has a good job. When we make love its really making love,not sex. We look in each others eyes and there is an intensity there I have never known.

 

She feels the same way as I do and has says so all the time. She is constantly talking about how when we are together the we are in a bubble and we are unaware of anything or anyone around us. Its true too.

 

So whats the issue? We have only known each other 3 months. So the logical side of me says this could be flash in the pan, we don't really know each other, so on and so forth. But I have been down that road and this feels different.

 

So, is there anyone else out there that met someone that they felt was their soul mate almost from the beginning, and that it worked out? Is there such a thing as two people meant for each other?

 

Like I said being a veteran the cynic in me (or realist) keeps waiting for the other shoe to drop, so to speak.

 

Thanks!

No.

Yes.

Enjoy your time together. Eventually we'll all die anyway and evaporate back into the universe. If we're lucky, we'll be stars aligned next to the one we are meant to be next to. :D

You are feeling the initial rush of romantic feelings... you are old enough to know the difference between these feeling and "true love". 3 months is too early to know "true love". Get to know her more, at least a year or two.

Absolutely you can. :love:

 

I've known people who met and married in less than a year and still going strong.

 

Enjoy it!! True love is so hard to find.

I am glad that you didn't let the divorce embitter you. :)

 

How old is she? Just curious.

 

I love the boldened parts, and feel the same with with my husband!!! :love:

I love how you describe this woman.

My husband and I felt that we are each other's soulmates almost from the beginning. We will be married for 2 years soon! :) We got married before a year passed of knowing each other. We are both 35 years old though; we're not kids. :p I do 100% believe there's such a thing as 2 people who are meant for each other!

 

Now, that doesn't mean that problems won't happen. My husband and I have fought, but we resolved it with compromise, and respect. People are diverse and even as soulmates, it's important to communicate through problems and respect each others' point of view even when not agreeing with it. I think one thing that makes soulmates truly soulmates though is the ability to grow stronger in love after disagreements, instead of tearing apart!

I think you need to be careful, and it would be a good idea to take counseling just for practicing/learning how to communicate together in order to keep one's love strong and not allowing it to die. My husband and i took a premarital course before getting married, and it really helped me with getting over my divorce and him with getting over his past, and helped us in communicating with each other! :)

 

Even if y'all don't get married, classes to help couples are good, in my opinion! :)

Yes I should have put in her age. She is 51. This isn't a young chippie thing I've never gone it for that type of thing anyway I try to keep it real.

 

BTW I am not gonna ask her to marry me or anything yes that takes year(s) its just that I feel like I have know this woman all my life. Like she is one of my guy friends only we can make love. Errrrr, you know what I mean! :confused:

Sorry it didn't work out, but don't give up on true love because it does exist.
