new thing feelings or more?

[SuicideBlonde]

All right... A spark! Has anyone had such a spark when meeting someone and only spending a few weeks with them that you can see the rest of your life in your mind? Is that crazy? I met him and was like wow! I talked to him on the Internet a little before meeting him (well again only once before for a minute) in person. I mean could it be just the new thing spark or something more. I feel so much so soon. I am scared. I was just wondering if anyone understood. It is so odd to me! Any cute happy stories? I think I am :love::smitten:!

No stories here, but that sounds pretty awesome ;-) Just make sure once the newness does start to wear off that you guys communicate, thats what is really important in the end.

My husband and I got engaged 3 weeks after we met. That's now 10 years ago-we've been married for 6 of those years and now have a 2 and a half year old son.
So yes, I do think it's possible :love:
(and by the way, my parents met and married within 6weeks of meeting each other-that was 34 years ago! And they are still together)
It is pretty scary, but if it feels right, I say go for it!

Yup, actually I'm endlessly feeling sparks with people, so this was different. More like getting punched in the gut, but we've been living together for 8 months and we are quite happy.

Yes, I've definitely felt that way about several women in my life. However, I think I've always invested a lot of hope and dreams in the NRE (new relationship energy) only to become more realistic later on. I think it really depends on the type of person you are. Some people (like me) tend to put on the rose colored glasses when they're getting into a new relationship. Other people are more practical and realistic from the get go.

Frankly, I'd rather deal with the loss of magic than discount it completely. The excitment and wonder of NRE can be wonderful as long as one doesn't go overboard.

Congratulations on the new relationship. I hope it works out as well as it feels like it could to you currently.

Awwww! I love love! *giggles*

I think I knew I'd marry my Husband the day we met. He never really left after that first date and officially moved his stuff in a few weeks later. (I owned so he moved in with me)

When I met him it was like lightning. Our first date was supposed to be only 2 hours but it lasted for days :smitten: I couldn't eat, sleep, nothing! I just knew. We started making plans for the wedding after a few weeks. We waited a couple years to get engaged, and another year to marry. But really.... that was just so everyone else was happy and knew we were serious.

Of course, all the old advice is still is good. You should wait and see, don't jump to conclusions, be rational blah blah blah. I say life's too short to ignore all the beauty and wonderful stuff. Enjoy it! I hope you're as happy tomorrow and the next day as you are today :)

Thanks! I know realistically 100% of my previous relationships have not worked out. I am working on not completely jumping in so I don't drown. I am scared but excited. When things work, they work. I will learn form my past mistakes.

(ps I wonder who put a reply on this saying "yeah... i had a similar experience recently... i know exactly what you mean. good luck!")

The first night I spoke with my now-fiance I knew I was going to marry her. We spoke every night after that, for between 1 and 3 hours. This was over 3 years ago and we're getting married in a few months. :)

I won't say that I knew we'd be together forever as soon as I met Jon (though it did occur to me), but I definitely knew something special was going on. We clicked immediately and could talk for hours on end. . . then spend days on end together and it felt wonderful and right. Now it's over a year later and we're living together, still talking for hours and enjoying each other, and generally having a blast. I say that something inside you knows when you've found something (and someone) exceptional, and it makes all your logic circuits go haywire, because how HOW could you know this fast? But you do. And it's scary because, whether you like it or not, you're already somewhat emotionally invested in it. No, there's no way to know how it will turn out in the end. . . but going for it regardless is the only way to find out if it's something truly great. :smitten:
