She is head over heels. She asked me to tell her my romantic story. hmmmm. welllll. When I saw That Guy, all I wanted to do was have sex with him. Secondarily, he is brilliant, and I had been sorely missing intelligent conversation in cowboy land Arizona. So, a tight compact body and a nice ass in his torn tight jeans and an amazing brain, was a huge turn-on.<BR/><BR/>But love at first sight? nah. He had been destroyed by the brutal ending of his marriage, and he was too shut down to love. But hang out together we did. Enjoy each other we did.<BR/><BR/>I'm kind of glad we had no bashful, batting eyes, sloppy cards and bunches of flowers. That all seems so ephemeral to me. Old fashioned lust and interesting talk and good books seem much more grounded.<BR/><BR/>Besides, the romance fades, and then you're left with the stinky comfortable human with whom you share your fears and hopes. That can last much, much longer.Omyword!http://omywordblog.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677693422985175025.post-49159849213783513902008-05-29T20:22:00.000-05:002008-05-29T20:22:00.000-05:00I believe in it. I remember that as soon as I saw my first boyfriend I knew 'things would be alright', I didn't fall in love straight away, but just knew we would end up together.Jazzhttp://www.happyalone.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677693422985175025.post-51953969923049945492008-05-29T19:10:00.000-05:002008-05-29T19:10:00.000-05:00I don't believe in first sight at all. I believe in a connection, sure. But love... no.<BR/><BR/>When I met Jan I thought he was an arrogant asshole. It turns out I was right! Once I got to know him though, I was let in on so many of his other great qualities.Jillianhttp://www.jillianapproved.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677693422985175025.post-39348011238868355242008-05-29T04:31:00.000-05:002008-05-29T04:31:00.000-05:00I do believe in it. I've always been shy and went out clubbing to drink and dance and that's all. My mates all went out looking for girls but I didn't even waste my energy on that; I knew I'd never approach a girl and talk to her anyway. However, one night we met up with friends of friends and I'd been told in advance that one of my mates fancied this girl who was going to be turning up - a cousin of another friend. I'm not sure why but when she turned up I was at her side all evening, effectively shielding her from any advances from anyone else. We just talked, all the while me making sure nobody else could. To be honest I still can't believe that was me back then. Anyway, that was 13 years ago and we're still together and getting married later this year.Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09793387827616204706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677693422985175025.post-37139013248827135672008-05-28T20:36:00.000-05:002008-05-28T20:36:00.000-05:00I must say that the person I had love at first sight with is not the person I ended up marrying and loving completely. Funny, isn't it?Musingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07461569436322815787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677693422985175025.post-59073766246533498702008-05-28T18:11:00.000-05:002008-05-28T18:11:00.000-05:00Awesome story, MamaFlo! I've heard some love at first sight stories that I've believed, but that hasn't been my own experience. I think Tom might say differently, but that's his story to tell, and I may be wrong. And arrogant. Or something :) Still, this was sweet. I'm glad you found happy. Happy is awesome.maggies mindhttp://maggiesmind.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
