Will you listen to an old man who just passed his 39th anniversary and would marry that angel again without hesitation? If you are waiting to "fall in love", stop. When you are falling you are out of control. Lasting love is a decision not an accident. No relationship is always good. If you operate on feelings you are going to fail. You cannot feel the same about someone when they change, and in time you will both change. Hair falls out or turns gray, gravity effects that tight butt, skin wrinkles, bellies pot. When you decide to love someone, until death do us part, she/he is always beautiful because you see with your heart not your eyes. Comtpatibility is overated. Railroad tracks are compatible. They go thru everything in the same direction. The left one does exactly what the right one does. They never meet. There is someone for you. Keep thinking with the head on your shoulders, not the other one, and you will find her.

Love, what does that mean? Really? I am married, but am I in love? Not really. I often wish to be single. In love, thats a whole different situation. I think being in love is confused with being in lust. When I was younger the feeling for "love" was so much more intense. Being married can ruin that wonderful feeling in a hurry.

That's what I figure. It's much better to have a lot of shorter, exciting relationships than one long, monotonous one. Unless you're just afraid to be alone, in which case I'd ask why you think fear is a good reason to be in a relationship. But whatever.

I really, really, REALLY can relate to your post here. There is a huge gap between really being 'in love' and just loving someone as a person, a friend.

I've been thinking about what I posted last night and I've come to realize that my story isn't sad at all. In fact, it's the exact opposite. How many people have gotten the opportunity to feel the way I did that night? It's something I'll never forget and I can be nothing but thankful for the experience. Listening to others here who have never known love, I see myself as blessed. Life is all about perspective. I could dwell on the fact that I'll never dance again with her, or I can relive that moment any time and be thankful for it. Kate, if you're out there, thank you for more reasons than you'll ever know. I love you so much and wish you someday will find a love like that.

YOU get a high five and some reps...no matter how far south a relationship goes, if you know, deep in your soul of soul's you felt true love, then my friend, you've experienced that kind of love that God meant for us to know...regardless how the other person felt, you felt it, which like you say, some people never get to feel in a lifetime. And that kind of love is not only very powerful, but life lasting.
