Love at first sight doesn’t exist; you confuse love and lust I think.
Well, my parents were engaged after three coffee dates. Married less than a year later. And this past July, celebrated 49 years of being together.
Oh yea...that would be 49 years of swooning and laughing and loving and talking dirty to each other when they thought no one could hear, and my mother never leaving my father's side when he was hospitalized and my father refusing to leave even for nurses to do their jobs when my mother was in the hospital.
Oh, and there's my father's parents who ran away to marry 3 weeks after he moved to her town and 3 days after they met. And they were married for over 60 absolutely love and laughter filled years.
My family seems to have this "thing" about threes.
And then there's my brother who met some girl online...went to another state to meet her and came home long enough to sell his house and pack his belongings. They've been together now for over 10 years. Between them they've weathered a Brady Bunch existence (5 Yours and Mine kids. Two of those are in college at the same time with a third to join them next year) They are giddily in love still.
And then, there's me. Met my Master on a Friday night at a munch. We drifted apart that evening. I spent the next two years watching for him to show up at an event where I was. Two years later, I met him for the first time a second time on a Saturday night. We went out the following Thursday. I knew then that I'd never be going anywhere again. I knew by the end of that night just who I belonged to and that no matter what, I'd be here till he told me to go. I've loved him the entire time.
Just because it doesn't exist for you does not mean it doesn't exist at all.
