Yes, like our imaginary boyfriends. Mine even wakes me up, like the talking Jeeves clock.

Hemingway Jones said:I think you recognize something amazing in another person and initially you have a visceral reaction to this recognition. Perhaps it's the realization that, standing before you, is the personification of all of your dreams. Perhaps, there is something in the human soul that recognizes it’s compliment in another person and your mind and heart are stricken and the first to fall to love’s pervasive sway.
Then, once you get to know this person, these feelings are either mitigated away from certain unrecognized incompatibilities, or they are deepened by those endless strings of almost synchronicity-inspired similarities, commonalities, shared values, honest revelations, shared goals, even similar political views ; all those wonderful things that make love such a fulfilling and incredible human endeavor.
I think it only goes to reason that we would have a capacity to recognize our true love. We recognize food; what nurtures us and what is harmful; we recognize clean air and water; we know how to seek shelter; we recognize all of those things that we need to survive. Love is the ultimate human pursuit; how could we lack the ability to recognize this?

Thanks, Rosie! I appreciate your kind words. I have wonderful inspiration.Rosie said:Wow Hem, that was so beautifully said.
I am not sure if I believe in love at first sight. The other night, I had a first date with someone new and I can honestly say there has been this weird attraction that I have NEVER felt before. Attraction in itself may be the wrong word, though it was our first date and I've known him for all of about three weeks, I felt very much at home with him, alomost as though I belonged with him. Is that love at first sight? (or upon first date?) I maybe crazy to admit this but, the thoughts "this is your husband" played in my head a few times. I guess I'll just keep you guys updated.
