TweetI think it is mostly lust at first sight. I mean how can you know you love someone just when you see them the first time. I think we lusted for at least the first couple of years,lol. I do think we were in love right away but lust took over then. I also think it is different when you meet in your early 20's rather than maybe someone who meets at 40 or older. expectations and such just seem different as we get older.. I also think it is never to late to rekindle those lustful times again and again. Nice topic Diva

TweetMine was love. We meet at a lake had a good lunch mrs mm lived 400 miles away at the time meet her on business trip. On my way home 2 hrs later I called her told her I loved her and would
Be back by the weekend that was 11
Years ago I proposed to her at same lake same
Spot same lunch.

TweetIMO lust is easy. Love is enduring and challenging. They go together but are very different things. Theres no doubt I've had lust at first sight, that animal attraction. It's intoxicating and can make people do things they never thought they would do. Love for me is realizing I have something irreplaceable, lust comes and goes.

Tweetmine was love, my present wife ,we met 24 years ago, went thru hell divorced remarried and are living happily ever after

TweetWell our lust turned into love obviously cause lust doesn't last and 25 years going strong here

TweetDefinitely 'Love at first sight' for me, but I was lucky to be selling Rake a truck and car sale is a very long process where many core personality and financial questions are asked and answered. I think all that information contributed the thought that he would be the strong, hard working man that I would be able to respect for the rest of my life. At the time I was totally deluded about who I was at my core and totally turned Rake off on our first date but his lust took over: then my submissiveness he thought was good. The rest is history. We married 15 months later and have been married over 28 yrs. Rocky at times but our love and respect has endured.

Love is not hard to find. I believe that God steers us to our true love: life is difficult and we must remind ourselves every day that we love that person, and stay over the tough times and tell each other and remind ourselves every day that that this is the person I love.

Easy for you to say.

Tweetthe person has to love you back is the problem. People just normally like to take advantage of one another in someway. ahh i fond the right one, one of these days lol

TweetOne has to decide what they will and will not put up with. Make it clear, give and demand respect. There are 2 things I would not tolerate in spite of love, the rest we can deal with.

You are not the one who gave up during hard times and that breaks my heart. Rake has been near death 2 times in our life together and aparently I'm someone who believed in the vows I made at the alter. If I could make up for the abandonment you have suffered I would. I love you with all my heart Diva.
