I'm single, in my late 30's seeking a committed relationship with a woman who makes my heart go...THUMP....THUMP...THUMP.

Am I in the minority here or looking for something that does not exist??

Not unless you have a heart condition. Seeking love like that is what makes the world go around.

Just realize it takes a lot of work to keep it going thump, thump, thump.

I'd say you're normal, just a little late to dinner. And such relationships DO exist even so. Of course, finding what you seek may take time and a commited effort.

That's admirable. With a little hard work and perseverance, I'm sure you will find the woman that makes your heart go thump thump thump.

I just turned 36 last week, And I can relate. You want to bowled out of your shoes! To find the type of girl you can't wait to see/come home to and have that instant connection with. It's a great thing if found. But the OP below makes a great point. It takes work to keep it exiting. We all experience NRE (New relationship energy) guys,(Gals too) You know what I am talking about. You feel like you can take on the world cause everything is brighter and so positive. This wears off as we "settle" in though. Thats were the continued effort must kick in.

Put yourself out there, be well groomed and put together and you will meet someone. It can and will happen!

It exists & it's magical.

Love in its essence is spiritual fire.

I like how this comment prepares ya' for the expectation.
Expect to meet the love of your life & you will.


When love isn’t in our lives, it’s on the way. If you know that a special guest is coming at five o’clock, do you spend the day messing up the home? Of course not. You prepare. And that is what we should do for love.
--Marianne Williamson

Just about every woman that I've been that emotionally nuts about has rejected me or treated me badly in a relationship.

I think better looking people and more successful people at dating are more apt to want/need that. They're more likely to have their THUMP reciprocated.

But yea, it's a good feeling and it makes the sex really good. At the end of the day, the THUMP you refer to is mostly lust.

Neither.

MANY folks want what you describe.

And yes, it does exist.

The thing is, you can't go shopping for it per se.

You have to just live your life to the fullest, always working to be the best you that you can be (this is what attracts the top quality women).

Volunteer, join a sports league, take up line dancing - get involved in life!

The more you put yourself out into the world, the more exposure you will have to women of all kinds. This increases your odds of finding "the one".

Oh it exists all right...especially for those who don't set too many standards or prerequisites that a woman must meet before considering whether the THUMP....THUMP....THUMP...is worth pursuing.
