9. Well, she had great blue eyes and long blonde hair.
She's very beautiful, but in a unconventional way which just drove me bonkers.

We hit it off immeadiately, and I was in a trance listening to her.

12. And you met her at a Kerry gathering?
Sounds like a keeper.

Did you share an umbrella?

16. Have you ever been taking to someone
and been completely fascinated by and focused on what they were saying, while at the same time staring at their lips and wondering what it would be like to kiss them?

That was me today.

I just hope she's not a member of DU, or she'll be completely freaked out. :scared:

24. *lol* yes, I have had that feeling, and I bet she would not be freaked out
not if she values romance, honesty and that little shiver that runs down the back of one's neck when one is contemplating a first kiss...mmmm

best of luck with whatever!

25. Yes, I have.
And it's an incredible feeling.

Pre-reprehensor, I was completely entranced with someone. I worshipped the ground he walked on. Everything he said or did was fascinating. And he DID have great lips.

It didn't last, but he was always the standard I held the others up to. If they didn't measure up, I moved on.

Fortunately, I got lucky again. I wish you the same happiness! Yes, rebounds are bound to happen, but who knows?

And a cynic. But it's fun to dream. :-)

30. Hey, that's me!
And dreaming isn't so bad.

21. Of course I don't really know.
I don't believe in love at first sight. But I do believe that it only takes a short period of time to identify chemistry between two people. Plus, I'm a hopeless romantic, and I know that this is the way it will start for me.

29. I knew the minute I met my future hubby that he was the guy for me; we
have been married almost 20 years now...
I have a friend whose parents met on a streetcar while vacationing in San Fran; they married THE NEXT DAY and they celebrated their 58th wedding anniversary last year!
So.....never say never.

18. Well THAT'S rude.
Don't blast others with your own cynicism. It's unappealing.

31. You call it cynical.
Some of us call it rude.

Finn has just met a beautiful woman. He's been through a rough divorce, and we're encouraging him to take a chance.

Go shit on someone else's thread.

10. Good luck!
Hope it goes well. Hey, maybe you could consider that other date as your "rebound" and this one could be. Never know. Besides, I'm the apparent queen of hopeless romantics. :D

26. The other date gave me some confidence.
And helped me to understand a little bit better what I was looking for.

Hey, have a drink on a fellow hopeless romantic. :beer:

32. Music didn't come up... yet.
We like the same kind of movies, though, and obviously our politics are the same.

Did I mention that she offered me her number before I even asked for it? :bounce:

Finn music is wonderful for romancing someone, I have always thought...

48. Good sign! Now ya know to take it slow, right? Especially if she's
possibly "the one". Sweet anticipation. It's worth keeping around for a while. If she's really special, you have lots of time.

(And if it doesn't work out, I'll at least tell you what state my sister is working in!)

40. I'm happy for you
but please don't rush anything. Perhaps you should even consider going solo for awhile just to get your bearings.

Whatever happens, I wish you well.

42. Thanks.
Going solo works for some people. I don't think it's the way I was designed.

I certainly won't be rushing into anything, though. I've made that mistake many times in the past.

Somehow, it's just nice to know that I still have it in me to feel this way again.
