I'd have to say "yes" considering that my dad knew my mom was the one for him before he'd even met her officially. They've been married now for over 49 years. :)

Hey, that is very cool! My Grandparents were married from very young till they died at a old age of nearly 100. I remember going to their 75th wedding anniversary! At that time they were still very independent and it was very nice to see them as I did not see them very often because of many reasons, mostly the distance and that I did not know them as much in my younger days. I remember my Grandmother telling me that the key to their long marriage was to never allow one day go by that they did not resolve any issues they had and to make sure that when they went to bed it was with an "I Love You" , I tried very hard to make that a habit in my life as well. ;-}

Cool story Bettis ...... wise words as well that your grandpa shared and I truly think its wise to have that type of attitude. I think for myself that "not talking" has certainly hindered some of my interactions, but I also think that "time" is needed to sometimes settle down and think before coming together. At least to agree to speak later is important.
I find for myself that having that time to compose my thoughts/feelings is extremely important - having to hash things out when I don't feel ready doesn't work for me personally, but I've also learned that the longer I let things go, it also doesn't resolve the issues either. Hindsight is everything! but also learning from my mistakes.
Sure i believe that. Even falling for some one on the net without ever seeing him is possible in my case. And thats why its called LOVE , because its so bloody absurd. But i never want to just rush a relationship with a guy i am falling in love with .. Because for me , personally, a relationship takes a whole lot more than just love.
To me great love stories are passional, there is nothing to explain, it's an evidence ...yes... love at first sight, whatever happens then , live it intensely...
I'd like to say I don't believe in Love at all, but that's due to my own story because I do believe in Love at first sight. Well technically I guess it was 3rd sight, when I knew anyway. Course I knew at first sight, he was the one that lasted, the one I thought about, he was my dream guy. I later felt it, and knew it. It took a long time. Getting a shiver down your back, in your body tells you they are the one. That's how I knew, it was at 3rd sight for me. I was shy and afraid and barely looked at him the first two times. I looked but not enough time, I was just interested. The 3rd sealed it for me, took a long long time to figure it out. I knew for years but I didn't realize until I was 21 and read an article about getting a shiver.
On a dating site, you become infatuated by a picture and words spoken in forums and/or email. Deep sentiments shared via writing one another can make a person feel deep loving emotions but that's all they are until they actually spend time together. The same infatuation can occur when meeting someone in real life and I believe there are occassions when that first face to face meeting becomes the spark that lights the fire of love.
Not quite, although obviously what she looks like and how she carries herself are the most important factors(I have to like what she looks like; people like to like the ones they love), you still need that time to become in sync with one another.
No. Love is way deeper than looks and a nice smile. And you can't get to someone deeper without spending a substantial amount of time with them. Everything is great in the beginning, but just wait a while down the road when things die out or tough times hit. Then you will see the person down deeper and you will tell if you are in love or not.
However, infatuation and obsession over superficial reasonings, yes it can be at first site..lol.
CuddlingSoul: Ouch, well, yeah, sort-of. Might not be love, but it's a very powerful force. I blame our primordial instinct for pulling that kind of stunt.
I like how you worded that! "a very powerful force" I can go with that!
Ccincy: I know all to well what the OP was asking.I've seen this kind of question before on here a long with some others.I'm sure most parents can say the very same about their children.
and their grandkids and their great greandkids!!! 4 generations alive so far on my side.
