My husband and I make a lot of the same associations. We've become so familiar that something will remind us of the same movie or tune or something we both remember. Lots of different stuff. We'll often say it at the same time, and if the other person says it first there's a "nice shot" reaction. Thinking of something that the other person hadn't thought of at all is congratulated. It sounds so dorky when I explain it but I know there must be other dorks out there. There's the whole cliche about finishing one another's sentences. We do that a little but it's only semi-verbal at this point. Last night out of nowhere, he gasped like he remembered something bad, and I had an an instant reaction of "Oh crud, I forgot the laundry at the cleaners." That is what he was thinking, despite our earlier conversation that I would wait until the weekend to go. I hadn't thought about it all day because I wasn't going. It's stuff like that. I can't tell if he's reading my mind or the other way around, if such a thing exists.

Do you have this type of relationship with a loved one? Was it something you always shared? Sometimes people click right away. Do you finish each other's sentences or otherwise read each other's mind?

Be careful, it might actually get annoying after a while

lol, here's a thread i can't actually respond to.

I can say that I've never met a couple that was like this, but I'm sure there's several couples out there who are like this.

You guys are cute. Some say it's from being around each other and paying attention.

SO and I are like this, not necessarily finishing each other's sentences, but having the same thought about something. One of us might say it before the other, but often it's the same word or phrase uttered at the same time. I find it spooky, in a good way. I've never had that sort of connection with anyone else before.

We used to, but we don't really see eachother enough lately to sustain a relationship like that.

I know, it might. Then we'd be screwed! Maybe it's a form of narcissism, being so much alike that we're just hanging out with ourselves.

My ex and I used to riff off each other with silliness; I think it's a similar phenomenon. We knew where each other were going with something, and could feed each other good lines.

I miss that. I don't wish we had stayed together -- other things were unworkable -- but I miss that.

Not with a woman I've dated, but with another woman I spent time with for a long time, she used to say catch phrases and sayings that were so obviously mine she was around me so much.

Now THAT is what I would consider a sign that a woman is into you.

Not. Rejected.

My husband and I are like that, and it can be some really off the wall stuff. We're both pretty bent.
