You won’t believe it, but it was love at first sight. I know when things are too good to be true then there is usually a catch, but this time it is different. Let me share with you our amazing story. It all began a few months back. I was at this big church function mingling and having a good time with my friends. Somehow we got separated and I was all of a sudden flying solo. To may surprise I bumped into a acquaintance and we began flirting and then all of a sudden he starts telling me about his friend that I’ve just got to meet. (I have to say at the time I thought it was really odd, because the two of us seemed to be hitting it off and then all of a sudden he’s pawning me off on his friend.) He calls his friend over and I speechless. I just couldn’t believe my eyes. He was totally drop dead gorgeous, my age and single. From that moment I just knew he was the one. The one I’ve been looking for my whole life. The one I’ve been saving myself for. The one I wanted to go out with. The one I was meant to marry.
I attend this Young Single Adult church group and there isn’t much dating going on. I think this is what everyone is waiting for. They all want to meet the one. They are all hoping for love at first sight. They don’t want to waste time dating like normal people. They just want to get down to the point, find the one they want to marry and take them to the temple day after tomorrow. Good luck buddy, because that isn’t how it usually works. Very few people every experience love at first sight. There might be infatuation at first sight, there might be interest at first sight, you may get Twitterpated just looking at someone, but love isn’t born in an instant. As much as I would like to claim the above as my love story, it’s not my story, but I have to admit it’s a great story. I have never felt my heart race when I first meet someone. For the most part when I meet guys I sometimes think, “he seem nice” and sometimes I think, “wow he’s really hot”. After I get to spend time chatting with someone, I might think it would be nice to spend more time with him and get to know him better. But, I’ve never felt and I doubt I will ever feel on first meeting someone that I’m in love with them.
Sometimes people think infatuation is a bad thing. I don’t see anything wrong with a relationship beginning with infatuation. Being physically attracted to someone is a good motivator to get to know someone. Looks shouldn’t be the only reason to date someone, but there has to be something that sparks an interest. Then from that point if there is a further connection the relationship will bloom or if not it will fizzles out.
