the moment I saw her/him, I knew we were meant for each other, meant to spend the rest of our life together, etc....
I think there can be an immediate attraction and some amazingly strong chemistry, but I think wisdom would take it slow before deciding you were destined for someone else. There are way too many variables.
Hasn't happened to me either. It is like being in church, folks are experincing holy ghost and speaking with toungues but not Moi. I hope that I get a chance to speak in toungues or experience holy ghost before I expire.
I do. Maybe not the "meant for each other, meant to spend the rest of our life together" part as much. But I believe you can see someone and feel a "connection" like you've known them before, maybe in a past life or something, and I think it could maybe feel something like a "meant for each other, meant to spend the rest of our life together". I felt that way with my man. Before I ever saw his face, I had dreams about him, seeing him behind my eyes. I have always had this feeling like "we've know each other before" even though we haven't (before we actually have). But I'm a weirdo. I believe in past lives, that before we're born we pick (like in "heaven" or the "other side") the people who will be in our lives and the things that happen. I believe in soul mates and twin souls. I believe in "true love" and the "meant to be" stuff. I know when I saw my man's face the first time their was a familiarity about it, something there that I recognized that I can't put into words, but if I had to demean it by putting it in words then I might have decribed it as what you stated/are asking about. Though it feels so much deeper than that. Maybe for those people who say that and do believe such things - it's just a matter of intuition.
I believe you can meet someone and have an overwhelming connection with them....and just seem to fit well together and very quickly feel that you are meant to be together. Things just flow really well and you don't want to be anywhere else or with anyone else. I think sometimes we meet someone and are just sure that we are meant to be with them forever and sometimes we are wrong. But I tell you what...once you've had that experience...if you get a glimpse of it again - you're going to go for it!
I know people who've said it but I don't believe in it personally. I think there's lust at first sight but not love; that only comes with time and getting to know the person.
