You mentioned that you have reservations. Were they gut instincts about who he is, how he behaves, how he was around you, small things, big things???????
Your gut instinct on those kind of things is much more reliable than your thoughts on whether his lifestyle suits you.
This trip back home to the San Francisco bay area and to Vegas has been simply awesome. It's so nice to be with friends and family....and with the American culuture....especially watching baseball games everyday and hearing about Brett Favre 24-7 on espn...jk
So I will be back to posting at my normal level on this forum when I get back Sweden cause things are not as fast as they are here on the west coast.

Did you get any pics of the meet? Missed you on here. Things were sure quiet without your input.
I also believe that anyone, at any time can be "the one". You just have to make up your minds together that this is so, then set out to work at that....
The problem with this is that it rarely happens that two people are of the same mind, or even want to make up their minds that this can work. People get distracted and change their minds, or decide to consider other things more important...... then it ends.
It's all about being willing/wanting. If you will/want it and the other person wills/wants it and you both work at keeping on willing/wanting it, then it will happen every time, forever if you will/want it to.
Well originally you asked how long until a person knew. I knew in about 5 mins. He proposed about an hour later.
To all intents and purposes he was marriage material.
He loved marriage.
It just ended up that he had a few bad habits that developed later on, that he wasn't willing to acknowledge, never mind change or comromise on, so I divorced him after 13 years.
There was a time I was tempted to just give up and go back, when he stalked me after I left him, but I had to keep reminding myself why I left and how hard that was, and just keep going.......... It's not been easy but it was the best decision, especially for the kids.....
Had he met me halfway during any of the time I was with him, I'd still be there..........
RE: Please excuse my ignorance
You are welcome Trish. I just found that to be the simplest version for the non-jew, to help them understand.
